ORONO WEEKLY TIMS, THURSDAtY, MAY th, 1970 Report From Ottawa Russell C. Honey, Q.C. M.P. Northumberland -Durham Some random thoughts about the Quebec election.. For the first time in the history of the Province of Quebec voters had a clear choice between fec- eralism and separatism. The, Lib eral Party under its new leader ]Robert Bourassa came out solidi: for federalism . . . to remain in Canada, while Rene Levesque's Parti Qùebecois were outriglit ad- vocfites of separation. The resuits were, as Prime Minister Trudeau said, "a victor' for Canada." The Quebec people said in no0 uncertain terrms that they wanted to remain within the Canadian confederation. Canadians should flot be too srnug about the election resuits. The Liberal victory really gives us four years to prove that Que- bec lias a place within confedera- tion. To prove that the concept of 1867 really will work. If we have not demonstrated this fact ir four years tîme there wilI be no second chance. The election also dernonstrated that Quebec electors will not buy "fence sitting" by their political parties. The demise of the Union Nationale was predictable be- cause the Party talked separatisnm but of one side of its mouth and federalism ouf of ithe other side. The only regret 1 have per- sonally, at the fate of the Union Nationale is that it probably ends the political career of Jean- Jacques Bertrand. Whatever one niight think of lis party there lias neyer been any suggestion that Premier Bertrand is' other than an honest, fearless Canadian who served his province and country well.

The Parti Quebecois- received 25% of the popular vote while electing only 7 members. It should not be inferred that the 25%'/ was ail separatist. A Senior Quebec cabinet minister to]d me that about 10% of -the. vote was a separatist vote. Quebeekers voted Parti Quebecois for many reasons . . . they like Levesque. Whatever one may think of lis politicai views Mr. Levesque is intelligent, moderate, charismatic, and completely honest. Some voted Parti Quebecois becanse theyý were "fed up" witli the old parties, because they were out of work, and 50 0on. Like ail elections there were no0 real philosophical voting lines. There is probably no Can- adian anywhere who is a more ardent federalist than Prime Minister Trudeau. Another Que- bec Minister (who is also an ard- ent fecdralist) f old me that sev- eral of lis constituents told hlm, "I'rn going to vote for Mr. Leve- sque . . . . but don't worry about. it, Jean, . . . when the federal election cornes along I'm going to vote for you and Mr. Trudeau." l-low do you figure that? Lawers To HeIp With Social-Legal Problems 1 The 'Law Association of, North- umberland and Durham lias set up a - six-man committee to ex- plore ways of getting lawyers more involved in the social prob- lems of the community. David Stewart, a Cobourg law- yer, said that the purpose of the committee being set up is to look into the possibility of public re- lations and public information with respect to the legal profes- sion and to investigate and re- port to the association on social-: legal problems in the community., The committee, he said would make their recommenrations ac- cordingly. Mr. Stewart said this was a new venttrefor the- isý,;oiatinn. Noth- in,- like this has been established si nce the fetinding of the associ- ation in 1924. "Lawyers feel that laý the chnigsocict) we must take a more investigative role in flic conmunity. Sorne lawyers are ai- ready taking part in community efforts through service clubs but the new comnittee will mean that we wili be working together on various projects," lie said. An example of the work the committee will be doing was an open-line radio program recently in whidli Mr. Stewart and another Cobourg laWycr, John Funnel spoke on law. and family life, af- ter which they answered ques- tions telephoned in by listeners. "The response was good," Mr. Stewart said.

The public hcalth cornmittee, reporting f0 the O.M.A. annual meeting ln Ottawa Monday, com- mended the parliamentary com- mitéee for its "signal contribu- tion to the heaflih and welfare of aIl Canadians."? The committee recommended to the goverament an immediate freeze on cigarette promotion and the éliminat ion of aIl cigarette promotional activit- les within four years. This rec- ommendation, if accepted by the government and brouglit into l.aw,. "would put Canada in the van. of progressive heaili legisîn- fion,' the )QM.A. reported. The O.M.A. will request the Canadian Medical Association to meet with Dr. Gaston Isabelle, chairman of the parliarnentary committee, and Steve Otto, the vice-chairman, to dctýrmine how the' médical profession can furth- er. support, their recommenda- tions.
