This was an oc- casion to mark the 100th year giuce its founder, William Booth, first stood on Mile End Waste in the east end of Lon- don, England, in the midst of the degradation & disorganiza- tion of the industrial revolution, and proclaimed the age-old mes- sage that gave birth to the Sal- vation Army. Tributes by the Prime Minister and all leaders were made to the Salvation Army for the work they have performed over these many years. The C.B.C. is planning to spend ten million dollars for a project at the 1967 Exposition in Montreal, Questions are be- ing asked as to whether tenders have been called and whether the C.B.C. is able to make such a commitment when there has been no appropriation by Par- liament for such an expenditure.

This is an increase of 2.7 percentage points, In their recently published report, the Economic Council of Can- ada recommended that we hold any increase in the cost of liv- irg to two percentage points, This increase is .7 percentage points above the recommenda- tion and the Government was immediately asked about this increase.

This an- swer did not satisfy the Mem- bers and suggestions were made that the Government remove the 11% sales tax, which would help the situation a great deal. Ir the past year the Govern. ment imposed an 11% sales tax on building materials and pro- duction machinery. This na- turally increased costs in both fields of activity and has con- tributed to. the cost of living rise.
