UNDER a Liberal government, Canadians have added every year to the national strength and national unity of Canada; We have had the greatest expansion of social welfare in our history; We have increased our employment, our production and our national income every year; We have had the greatest expansion of our primary and secondary industries — truly an industrial revolution; Because of the outstanding contribution of the members of our Navy, Army and Air Force, we have been able to do our full share to prevent and to stop Communist aggression; We have reduced the national debt every year, and, in the last two years, reaped the reward in lower tax rates. Do we want all that to be continued? Do you really think it’s time for a change? For a change to a Parliament of regional groups — a handful of Social Crediters from' the Far West, a few Socialists from the Prairies, a few more Conservatives from Ontario or the Maritimes and some so-called Independents from Quebec? In such a Parliament without the leadership and responsibility of a united national party, how could the government help being weak and insecure? Do we want a weak and divided government to deal with the formidable problems of the next few years? I ask you, IS it really time for a change? We believe most Canadians want a government which-encdurages enterprise, promotes trade and fosters the exploration and develop­ ment Of our resources; and you know it as well as we do, that requites balanced budgets, paying off debts in prosperous times ana a tax structure which, while fair to all, is adequate to meet these demands.
