OCONNORS OTTAWA was one of the moat and In In the short history of this minority parliament There seemed to be an air of finality among the as staked out positions and then dug in to maintain them tike armies before a major i battle the scouting the cold war tactics the negotiations the small skirmishes were over and the waiting lull before the battle began But we are not soldiers at war We are politicians charged with the of running the country in the best interests of everyone For those who argue that the primary objective of the parties should be to operate in a spirit of cooperation It was a bad week For those who feel the parties should represent distinctly different political philosophies and positions from among which the public may choose it was a good week A drastic monthly increase In the cost of living com a new Gallup Poll showing the PCs up ana both the and Liberals down prompted a cryslatizatlon of positions among the parties The produced another shopping list indicating its minimum price for continued support of the government Nothing escapes inflation for even Its trice has gone up It now strong measures to combat the rising cost of livingsomething the PCs have been railing or since before the last election Further both of the op position parties made It quite clear that they were not prepared to be stalled on the point We wanted either an opportunity to debate the situation in he Housethat is an opposition day or alternatively a commitment from the government to bring in an Inflationary budget prior to the end of No soap said the govern The budget will be brought down around the middle of May with no guarantee that it will fight Inflation In any other way than at present and above all there will be no opposition day prior to the budget The PCs and agreed that the situation was so serious that we must stay in Ottawa and do something We would therefore vote against any Easter ad The govern ment knowing It would be detested withdrew the adjournment motion and here we are locked Into a standoff It seems to me that the is only delaying Inevitable The rules of procedure require that it give the opposition 13 op position days by the end of June If budget is tabled May is the budget debate will occupy Ihe Balance of May There are sitting days in June this year of which must be given to the opposition leaving only seven for normal govern business If the government is not defeated on the budget most likely possibility It seems highly doubtful that it could survive the barrage of 13 opposition days in one month is argued by the op position parties that is months have passed since Mr Turner last budget The government should face a test of con fldence on the effects of that budget before Introducing a new one The only problem from he government viewpoint is that during that months the cost of living has increased is per cent hardly a record on which to fight an election Mentally Retarded Sponsors Country
