But there is much more to be done and progress will be greater and faster with a majority government. This summer, the uncer- tainties became greater than ever, The leaders of all the opposition groups announced that, although they hadn't mustered enough members to defeat us earlier, they would certainly do so when Parlia- ment returned in September. That, of course, is their right. But it is the govern- ment's responsibility, faced with such a situation, to con- sider whether the time has come for the electors to de- cide whether one party should not have a clear mandate to form a majority government, The responsibility for the decision to call, or not to call, an election is mine as prime minister--and only mine. I assure you that I have made the decision only after lon; and earnest consideration what I believed to be best in the national interest. «My decision had to be made in the knowledge that we are now facing, in Canada, issues and problems of great impor- tance to our country's future, The country needs a stron, central government to 4d with these problems and a stable House of Commons with a majority supporting that government. I also had to face the fact that an election now would be conducted on the basis of the present constituencies, before redistribution alters them, Redistribution of electoral districts on the basis of the 1961 census should have been Pearson Pulled TV First By Announcing On Video By MICHAEL GILLAN OTTAWA (CP) -- Elections have been triggered in some ways since Confedera- tion, but this was the first time @ prime minister applied pan- cake makeup to his face to an- nounce dissolution of Parlia- ment and a voting date. Instead of the House of Com- mons where many dissolutions have come, Prime Minister Pearson was in estudio A of the CBC's Ottawa outlet, COBT. A cast of hundreds was in- volved in the production. The request for television and radio time was received by the CBC -- une day -- a corpora' sman said a fast decision had to be made. He said ge political broadcasts would turned down, but political - annuunce- ments of national interest ac-) cepted. "In view of the recent specu- lation, it didn't take long to de- elde that," the spokesman said. Rescheduling programs pre- sented problems. The major difficulty was that originally the prime minister was to appear only on the CBC, with Opposition Leader Diefen- baker on the private CTV net- work afterwards. How to get both leaders on beth networks involved both rofessional and technical prob- lems, and officials of both net- works met for many hours be- fore coming up with a solution. There was not only the prob- = of Pomoc ve to co-o " - th e ter, but t CS problems in cutting from one network to another within min-| utes. Only hours before the 8:30) p.m. EDT air time. the diffi-\d culties were resolved. | In the end, each network even had his commentator talking tom the other's listeners. Arriving for his broadcast about 35 minutes before air time, Mr. Pearson quipped with a befere enterin: the studio. . After the makeup was ap-| plied, Mr. Pearson chatted with a few aides and, a CBC spokes- man and a Liberal party offi-) cial said, went through a re-| hearsal of his announcement. This meant CBC personnel knew about the election an- nouncement before the Cana- dian public. | A spokesman said this group) included about a dozen per- sons--the man who prepared the speech for the teleprompter, some cameramen and about six production people in the control room. One CBC reporter said an oath of secrecy was taken. | "Tt just meant that if you| wanted to keep your job you wouldn't go outside and say anything," he replied. A CBC spokesman said at one) point in the day the prime min-| ister had deliberated whether to) put the speech on tape for broadcast in the . This, was rejected because it had} been decided the content would leak out during the time lapse. | The speech arrived at the stu- dio before the minister. case.

The sen- tences on dissolution and the election date were contained in the last four sentences of the seven-minute speech, enabling the announcement to be car- ried on news wires before Mr. Pearson reached that part. completed some time ago. But le tion for the purpose was not introduced until the present government was formed in 1963, The legislation---the first. of its kind in our history--has been passed. But the parilia- mentary processes, necessary before the new boundaries be- come law, are not yet com- pleted, I have been informed by the officials responsible that the earliest date at which an elec- tion could take place on the new electoral! boundaries would be the end of October, 1966, And this date could be met only if parliamentary dis- cussion of the new constituen- cles was strictly limited. The officials agree that a more realistic date for the earliest possible election un- der the new distribution of seats would be early in 1967, So what I had to decide was whether, in the national inter- est, there should be an elec- tion -now or whether we could get along with another year or more of the present Parlia- ment, with increasing uncer- tainty and factiousness be- cause no party has a clear majority in it. My government has already dealt with many of the impor- tant questions we said we would deal with when we were elected. But important problems remain and there are new problems that have developed since we took of- fice. We have policies which I be- lieve will be effective in deal- ing with these problems; pol- icies to continue Canada's ex- citing economic expansion; to provide for the continued de- velopment of our resources, and especially of the greatest resource of all--the talent and skill of people; policies to bring about the elimination of poverty in our land by helping all Canadians to take advan- oe of improving opportunt- Above all, we have the pol- icies that can reduce tensions in our country so that we can all go forward as Canadians, in unity and strength. The tasks and challenges facing Canada--and I have mentioned only a few--are difficult and complex, If Canada is to meet them and realize the great destiny that can be ours, it will take all our faith, energy and devo- tion, There are genuine differ- ences of opinion about the courses we should take into our future, But I do not think we can follow any steady course if there are day-to-day uncertainties about the gov- ernment having a majority in Parliament to get things done, Therefore, I have asked the Governor-General to dissolve Parliament no so that there can be a general election on Nov. 8, I believe that this decision is in the national interest. I believe that the Canadian peo- ple want to solve the big prob- lems; to get or. with the im- portant tasks facing them; to get on with the job of build- ing the new Canada. For this high purpose, they can best be served by a gov- ernment at Ottawa which has the confidence of Canadians in every part of the country, as represented by a majority of supporters in the House of Commons, Therefore, there will be a federal election on Nov. 8.
