has survived its flst vote of nonconfidence moved by the new leader of the official opposition mr robert stanfleld this occurred during the last supply motion for the current fiscal year and will be the last formal vote of confidence in the government until april 1968 there undoubtedly will be other opportunities however such as on the taxation measures that will be introduced next thursday night by the govern ment on the actual vote itself the government had a 14 vote advantage and at no point during the twoday debate did it appear to be in any serious difficulty the vote of course was the first opportunity given to the leader of the opposition to test his own strength in comparison to the government a great deal of news coverage was given to this event and all members of the house of commons were made acutely aware of it the chamber on the tuesday night at 815pm when the vote was called was full during the present parliament i do not believe it has ever been any fuller than it was last tues day both the major parties had obviously rallied all their strength and the vote itself was in many ways an anil climax now that the formalities of the first skirmish are over it is expected that the parliament will settle down again into its normal rou tine the order of business is first to deal with the question of cap ital punishment this is expected to come 1o a vote very soon and this vote is likely to be very close confidence in the govern ment is not involved and there fore whatever the outcome the governments life is not at stake if the abolitlonlstswin then cap ital punishment is abolished for a fiveyear trial period if the retentionists win then i feel the government must act on the vote in the house of commons and carry out capital punishment un less the juries involved have re commended clemency once this is completed the parliament will consider the gold mining assistance act the post office act dealing with postal rate increases changes in the industrial
