Polls Riding .
On Issues
Reinstatement of capital punish-
ment 'in. Canada is being advocated
by Bruce-Grey MP Crawford Doug-
las:
The Liberal member .has sent a
questionnaire to each household in
his riding asking for opinions on a
return to hanging.
"I feel that capital punishment
should definitely be reinstated and
1 believe from my correspondence
from the riding that , this is indeed
the wish of the people," Mr.
Douglas said.
Legislation which -now provides
the death penalty only for' slayings
of policemen or prison guards
should be extended to other killings
as well, he said. Mr. Douglas also
disagrees with commutation of the
death sentence, unless, there' has
been a. recommendation 'for clem-
ency. ,
No one has been executed 'in
Canada since .1962.
There are three other sections to
Mr. Douglas' questionnaire.
One asks' for opinions on the
effectiveness of the Unemployment
Insurance: Commission, while an-
other seeks views on whether the
area would benefit frOm a STOL
(short take-off and landing) air
service.
The remaining question, for
farmers in particular, asks for
opinions on services provided by
the Farm Credit Corp. , and asks if
the beef stabilization program is
adequate arid if the ban now on
imports of beef. treated with the
growth.' stimulant DES should be
continued.
