Don't be misled by recent statements that tractor prices in general are higher in Canada than in the country of manufacture. This is not true of International tractors. A recent Royal Commission report indicates — Canadian' retail price for the 706 tractor as $105 less than U.S. price Canadian , retail price for the 806 tractor as $126 less than U.S. price International tractors manufactured in the U.S. have comparable retail prices on both sides of the border. The 624 tractor manufactured In West Germany has a lower retail price in Canada than in Germany. We feel we should set the record straight.

'We Make Tile Job' Easier . Barnyard Pavement . Barn Foundation . Mooring for Barns „Silo Foundations It is a pleasure for Me, once again, to have this chance to make yet another in a el:intim- " ing series of reports from Par- liament Hill to the people of the constituency of Huron. A great deal of legislation has been dealt with by Parlia- ment prior to adjournment teL the Easter recess. In addition to the measures up for, debate' in the House of Commons, many others have been undergoing detailed scrutiny and discussion 'in the various committees of the House. Last week, for instance, .the House dealt with the vital is- sue of Supply — the, business of examining proposed govern- ment expenditure of tax money and giving it approval where such approval is warranted. This remains one of the most important jobs that your elect-. ed representatives at Ottawa are called upon to perform. When you consider that the government's spending plans for this year involve 'billions of dollars in tax money ;you can appreciate how important it is that close public scrutiny be given every item. This detailed examination -is carried a step further in the proceeding of the Standing Committee du Pub- lic Accounts. No doubt many of you will now be familiar with the work„ of this important committee through revelations in the news media of the cost of repairs of the aircraft carrier "Bonaven- ture"-and of other questionable expenditures and practices re- vealed through the report of.. the watch-dog of the public ; treasury, the Auditor-General. It is interesting to know in this regard that it is seldom the Government itself that is directly at fault in, these cases of wasteful or unnecessary ex- penditure-More often it centers around a mistake in judgement by departmental officials or a misuse of proper governmental procedure. Whatever the rea- son for' these errors,- hciviever, it is ,Lvital to good government that there is a body of elected representatives of all political parties cheating-oh them. The business before the House •of Commons last week includ0 a one-day debate on a motion of want of confidence in the government moved by the Opposition. This Particular motion dealt' with the alleged misuse of Canada's manpower by; .the gogemmg,pt 4.,P,itsr ure, p10 ada'a,,,goat potential of human 041 the sPAZiiiei:k parlettlaT), stress on the employment, :proipectS fo,V sti de PIS ge.01tating this ye at; and also, the' Spatcitr students at ., ttniveraitYii Land f sogoAdary:„Ohoels the ce3t147SC.wh.cf need suunteuera- ployment An %der, to. continue their studies- next year. ArtOt4W main point empha- sized by -.-se-Yetat speakerg, was the difference in the, inemploy-- ment rate between ihe various regions of Canada which they claimed was one' of the basic 'factors behind the nation's num- ber-one problem — regional dis- parity. For instance the unem- ployment rate for the Atlantic region was running in excess of 10% of the labour force while that for central Canada, Ontar- io in, particular, was well under 4% Another government measure that was back before the House for more discussion was the bill that would establish Several new departments of gov- ernment. One of these new de- partments, is -known as the De- partment of Consumer and Cor- porate Affairs. One of its main tasks will be to battle inflation and try to protect. the 'buying power of the consumer's dollar. The neW minister has announc- ed a' new ,commission to study -. the inflation problem, This 'is a step that is urgently needed. Experts have calculat-- ed that the 1961 dollar has al- ready shrunk in the past eight years to about 75 cents. While 'it is popular to blame succes- sive governments for continuous deficit financing and for ex- panding the country's' money too much in relation to the country's production of 'goods and services, pot all the blame can be laid on government. The Canadian consumer must bear his or her share bf blame. In 1968 alone, Canadian consum- ers borrowed about- $91/2 billion to purchase the things they wanted. This• was about $1 bil- lion more than they borrowed for the same purpose in 1967. Only seven years ago, Cana- dian consumers were able to get along by using only half that amount of credit. Certainly government must give an example of restraint' in spending. But it must a&team effort. If we are to overcome the inflation that is eating away the purchasing power of our dollar we must all show res- traint together. In addition to the more im- portant pieces df legislation that came before the House last week, other measures were also dealt with such as amend- ments to the Food -and Drug Act; the Patents and Trade Mark Act; the Hazardous Pro- ducts Act and various acts deal- ing with superannuation in the public service, All in all, it was a produc- tive week for Parliament on the eve of the Easter' recess. But much still lies before us be- tween mid-April 'and the end of June. I will be away frol April 9th to 19th with the Standing Cominittee on :Agriculture tour- ing 'various parts of Canada. We will be studying agricultural problems and partkularly the grain handling problems.
