all so there musl be decisions constant decisions on jusl what can be done What comes first And must be put the side NEEDED There have to be if government here genuinely appreciates this recognizes the general act that its spending be cut back therefore Its restraint program But then the question Is how much further does go Does it realize that there must be more spending in some areas even

should be encouraging development new development I have mentioned the importance of small business in Ibis And what has the government done about small business Practically nothing Perhaps a better

members writing of those frightening communiques In and the headquarter not learning the until a Seems passing tor lo operate this I mean its one for a highlytrained officer to sit down and write that Mao the Irue revolutionary teaches us hat power flows from the barrel of a gun but its another thing for tho head of the security not to know where the communique originated For close to seven year It Wan assumed In Ottawa that the came from the Minerva cell of the And the solicitor general of he day was never told tho the revolutionary diatribe iKAit The revelation come out when Fox held an press conference to as ho so delicately put It clear he slate of known wrongdoings Bother than have various Illegalities exposed by the method he thought It would be better to display the whole slate at once And this In cluded mentioning possible physical or moral violence against members who were questioned by security men for up to 12 hours In motel rooms Quite honestly sold the minister It Is not our intention to reveal the one by one What we are trying to do this morning Is clear the elate to reveal all Illegal acts that have been committed Earlier suggestions of lllegallUei had come out In
