The Trudeau Administration Cabinet ministers seem to be able to spot their own weaknesses before the Opposition can, then steer questioners off chasing - will-'o-the-wisps. Usually, when it looks as though an Opposition front-bencher is getting close to a good point, he gets deked off on a tangent with the temp- tation of political hay-making.

OTTAWA - Early in the daily proceedings of Parliament comes that 40-minute exchange between, the Opposition and Governrrient known as the "question period." It's basically a ti m e when Cabinet ministers can expect to be put on the griddle for their sins, hence -that 40 minutes often produces the best news copy oLthe day. The question period-certain- ly hasn't been the same since the Pearson-DieferibakerA per- sonality feuds have been replaced by the Trudeau cool and the Stanfield siammer.
