OTTAWA LETTER
a ' ' March '18th,. 1961.
Ottawa, Ont.,
Dear Editor and,. Firiends,
Once more I have. occasion to
drop .you a few tines, concerning.
Some: of • the important aspects.
of the work here in parliament
during ;the, last w.eek.;
Our ,Prime- Minister, Mr. Pie-
fenbaker, has joined other Com-
monwealbh prime ministers at a
meeting; in, London, England, to
discuss the differentproblems
that affect riot only • the. Cornnion-
wealth but also the' world at,
large,, . .
It appears . that disarmament
• ,is taking a very important ''part
in ' their discussions and I am
sure' that we will all .agree, that
disarmament among world pow,
,ers is of paramount • importance
considering the 'powerful wea-
pons.:that can be: used in ,a war
if ever one starts. I .believe and,
hope "that -such a war ::will . not
take place due to the roundtable
•'discussions that are carried on
it 'the United ,Nations. meetings.
We expect Mr Diefenbaker
back from ` the Conference in
time to address the Conservative
Annual. Meeting which will take
place •here in Ottawa starting
on March' `1, 5th and, continuing for
four ;days. The officials of that
meeting' expect' • approximately
3000. to attend. This meeting will
be quite similar',: to the annual
meeting that the Liberal Associa-
• : tion : 'held an January which; I
'understand Was very well attend-
.
ttend-
'We ,;had' a very ; lively •debate:
in the' House .of Conmons yes_.
terday' When ' 'the Minister of
Labour's' estimates" were 'before.
the House. As you' ;.;Probably
know, there,' was a. CBC program
put ons recently°'portraying • the
plight of an unemployed' family.
-I did not see the program hut I'
have. been told that it appeared
,hto' '1 e a very , realistic case of : a
faintly suffering from• unemploy-::
.'merit. y •
The Minister of: 'Labour '*as
•Asked„'.a, question; in the ,.House
on Wednesday,. ' March•' 8th, with
• regard to the .person' who was
•portrayed as • .unemployed. The
answer • that Mr, Stam gave' to
the . question': was to the ,effect
that the ,,,unemployed in question
`•was: registered for employment
' at Hamilton. • He had quit'', his
previous employment as a sales
Man • at : $6,000• per year , and had
given the' reason that there, . was.
"no future:” On .November '29th
.,he was, referred ,as. a salesman
at $350. • per ` Month' to Service
Steel and Engineering in ,Ransil-
ton and worked there from. De-
cernber 13 until January 30th
when he was laid off.
At ;about' this time he answer.
ed an advertisement put out . out by
the : CBC ,requesting a white poi -
lar worker for. a television prog-
ram. Apparently she was success-'
ful in obtaining this. employment/
and ;I am informed that itwas
remunerative .to the extent .of
$25.• per day; during the shooting
of the program which, including.
rehearals, lasted for a number
of weeks.
On . February 24th the •unem
ployment insurance commission.

office in Hamilton offered. Mr
Exce1by a positionas a foreman
at Frost Metal Products which he
t irned! down. He :said at thattime•
that . he was considering three.
Other offers: & a1So,, indicated that•
he was not anxious to accept a•
position in. vreW.:of the, forthcoro- f
ing appearance of the television.
program.
I expect that there will ,be
many -mare heated debates be
fore the Minister of Labour's,
estimates are -passed' .through.'
.'
The reports that :the ' ;Ontario,
Legislature .will .apply a 3% sales
tax on certain' articles is. a crite-
rion -#shat ..the :present high. cost
of living affects ' governments asp'
well as it affects we individuals.
I understand that , evei with the
3% tax the provincial govern-
anent expects to collect, it, will
still experience, quite a deficit • on
the •year's r expenditure. . With
such rapid growth as. Ontario has
been experiencing over the past
number of years, it is only 'right
and proper, that it budget for the
future 'welfare. of ' its ' people.,
There was a' ` very important
gathering :here in Ottawathis
week of the Concentrated Milk
Producers of Ontario. They make
a practice of "• holding their an-
nual meetings in Ottawa and
present their. • views • to the. 'Mini-'
ster of Agriculture., It is . quite
apparent that the ' producers are
triving to arrange regulations
to govern themselves that will
work towards, . more .• equitable
prices for their :milk. As you
know at, the "present time some
producers' are receiving be-
tween five and six : dolIars: per'
cwt;: for. their milk, • while others
are' receiving belowthree dollare,.
per cwt. The:sooner that these
producers can get some .market=
ing arrangements that will .bring
an equalized •price,, the better it.
will.. be for all and when that
is done there is a passibility that
government ':directions 'Will not.
•be needed buta:instead producers
will snake regu:1ations, to run
their own business. '
So much for : this week: , I am
looking forward. to: the holiday
at' Home ` during the Easter. re
.cess,
Yours sincerely, `
Andy Robinson,
Federal ' Member for Bruce.
