OTTAWA (CP)--RCMP Dep- uty Commissioner J. R. Le- mieux testified today that on Sept. 18 Justice Minister Fav- reau left it up to then immigra- tion minister Tremblay to take any action in the Rivard affair. a meeting Sept. 18 that the RCMP had acquitted them- \selves of responsibility and that the matter was for Mr. Trem- blay to deal with from then on. Lemieux quoted Mr. Trem- blay as saying that Raymond Denis, then his executive assist- ant, had been "most indiscreet to say the least." However, Mr. Tremblay was not "entirely convinced of Denis' guilt." Mr, Favreau had said the case would be left to 'internal discipline." Denis has been accused by Montreal lawyer Pierre La- montagne of offering him $20,- 000 to arrange 'bail for Lucien Rivard, wanted in the U.S. on flarcotics conspiracy charges. Lemeiux told the Dorion in- quiry that Mr, Favreau said at J, R. LEMIEUX Chief Justice Frederic Dorion asked whether there had been any further investigation after Sept. 18. Lemieux said no.

Mr. Tremblay had been shown a report on an RCMP-monitored Aug. 20 telephone conversation between Denis and Mr, La- montagne. Mr. Tremblay had appeared "quite impresséd"' by this re- port. Lemieux said a lot of ques- tions were left unanswered in the telephone conservation. He said there was no discus- sion of referring the, case to the legal officers in Mr. Favreau's department for ar opinion. an hour. Mr. Tremblay was very surprised that Denis "could have done such a thing." Mr. Tremblay was not satis- fied that Denis was guilty of offering a bribe. Lemieux said he wouldn't state that the file was closed but "my minister had expressed an opinion and when he ex- presses an opinion | have to re- spect. it." : coh ees | TORONTO (CP)--The provin- cial government' was. advised Thursday to adopt--and subsi- dize where necessary--a pri- vately-run medical care plan of- fering physicians' services to all Ontario residents on a vol- untary basis, The Hagey medical services insurance committee report, tabled Thursday in the legis- lature by Health Minister Matthew Dymond, called on jthe government to pay all or jpart of the premiums for pen- sioners, low-income groups and persons on welfare Premier John Robarts said legislation based on the com- mittee report is being prepared for cabinet study.

In an unusually outspoken and controversia! preliminary report tabled in the Commons Thursday, the commission hammered at the theme that public institutions and attitudes will have to change across Can- ada if Confederation is to sur- vive, A deep gulf of ignorance and indifference has opened up be- tween English- and French- speaking Canadians, the report said. Although many Canadians did not realize it, the country had entered hits greatest crisis since 1867, : The 10 commissioners ex- pressed confidence that Cana- dians will get to know and un- derstand each other better, reach new compromises and build a. "richer and more dy- namic Canada." Bu! they were not sure this would happen. Prime Minister Pearson and members of his Liheral govern- ment have often called for "an qual partnership vetween the two founding peoples,"' but they have maintained tnat the sep- aration of Quebec will never take place. REACTION MILD Initial public reaction to the report was surprisingly . mild, but. MPs and political observ- ers were bracing for hot de- bates later. The tone, of the 85,000-word report was set in the very first page of text "It would appear from what is happening that the state of affairs established in 1867, and never since Seriously chal- lenged, is: now for the first time being rejected by the French-Canadians of Quebec." This group in Quebec, num- bering 4,300,000, was going through a quiet internal revolu- tion, marked by two strong un- derlying trends: --Increasing the autonomy of the provincial . govern- ment within Coniederation --Building for themselves "a distinct form of. nationhood with full control of all their social and economic institu- tions." CHANGE THINKING Quebec Freneh - Canadians had stopped thinking of them- selves as an etiumec minority with a few privileges. "Today, the kind of opiniuoa we met so often in the province regards Quebec practically as an auton- omous society, and expects her to be recognized as such." The commission called for wide-ranging negotiations be- tween the federal and provincial governments and between the English-- and French-speaking "societies" aimed at evolving a true and equal partnership. "Major changes' were needed but the report did not recom- mend any. The commission said it will hold public hearings in the 10 provinces this year and dig up new, objective research data before recommending concrete solutions in its final report. This report is not expected before 1967, although the possibility of an interim report in the mean- time is being kepi alive, Reactions to the preliminary report seemed. to cut across party lines. "A disappointment and a com- pendium of generalities and platitudes," commented Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker outside the House. CAN'T ACCEPT VIEW He said he cannot accept the contention in the report that Confederation could disinte- grate if the present crisis was allowed to deepen Ontario's Premier John Ro- barts said his Conservative gov- ernment will exam'ne and anal- yse this "very provocative re- port' with great interest. "We are determined to play to the full our part in finding solutions to those problems," he said in a brief statement issued in Toronto.
