continue the purchase of uranium
ore at the level of the original
contracts,
Our government saved the uran-
ium industry in Canada from
complete collapse in 1962, by
arranging with the United States
government for a stretch-out pro-
gram to the extent of $120,000,000
which will provide employment for
'several years past 1962 due to this
arrangement, Not on the scale of
the last few years probably but
sufficient to import a town of 8 to
10 thousand people for a few
.years until there is an increased
demand for the peaceful use of
uranium. I 'do not feel that Elliot
Lake with all its splendid facilities
will become a ghost town. In fact
there are 5,000 people at Elliot
Lake living in trailers,
There has 'been considerable
pressure brought upon the govern-
ment to have the projected Re-
search Centre at White Shell,
Manitoba, relocated in the Elliot
Lake ,district, However, the pos-
sibility• of this Research Centre
being built to use the thousands
of workers who may be laid off
at' Elliot Lake would seem to be
quite unrealistic because after all.
this is a Research Centre and even
by 1965 the staff may number only
200 and the majority of the people
will be imported specialists and
eMentiste, and the project would
not provide work of the type which
is being carried on by the miners
and supervisors at Elliot Lake.
The government has ovary sym-
pathy with all those whose way of
life Is going to be edisrupted in
that area. Howevet, as aianY
the people working there are single
men and many others are living
in trailers, the situation in regard
to dislocation of people is not as
bad as some would like to make
out, Amid as I intimated in the
for the production of nuclear
bombe and atomic energy. This is
further augmented because of the
failure in 1947 of the plan to dis-
continue making nuclear weapons
and because of the developments
in Ru.seia, in this particular field.
Uranium deposits were found in
Canada and in 1953 they were
probably the largest and most im-
portant in the world. However
this year 1060 was not the first in
which there was a warning given
and predictions were made that
the situation which has developed
would develop if there was such
a continued tremendous expansion
in the production of this mineral.
In the years of 1955.56 contracts
were entered into with the United
States authorities for the produc-
tion of uranium in Canada. These
contracts ran for 5 years, There
was no clear understanding that
these contracts would be continued
indefinitely.
There has been considerable
criticism of the Government in
regard to their approach to the
American authorities asking that
these contracts be. continued past
1960. However, I am sure you.
will all agree that due to the fact
that the American government has
a considerable number of produc-
ers in their own country and have
already a huge stockpile of uran-
ium, no amount of persuasion,
moral or otherwise, would be
effective in demanding that they
In the last number of weeks
there have been two items that
not only have been debated at
great length in the House of Com-
mons but by their very nature
Have attracted national interest.
The first of these in that of the
problems being fared by our uran-
ium centres in Canada, As you
know on Monday of last week a
deputation of women from
Lake visited Ottawa and had an
Interview with the Prime Minister,
the Minister of Labour and the
Minister of Trade and Commerce
in connection with their problems.
We all agree that there is a prob-
lem created whenever in Canada
there are areas where unemploy-
ment is aggravated whether it be
brought about by 'technological
changes as we have found even in
our own areas—I might cite the
case of Palmerston as a railroad
centre. Then again we, have the
centres where there are textile
mills whose production has been
curtailed due to the fact that they
cannot (compete with foreign im-
ports.
' Probably there is a special ease
to be made for Elliott Lake and
our other uranium centres due to
/(119(.1€1,et,':that,. there was ..euels a
tremendous world-Wide demand
for uranium in 'the years fol-
lowing the discovery o fthe nu-
clear bomb. As scarcity was
world-wide so. there was a world-
wide rush'to discover and produce
the mineral that could be used
