Best, .of'Georgetown, MP for Halton, and son of the co -discov- erer of insulin, Dr. Charles Best. Mr. Best, in reviewing the ach- ievements' of the Conservative Government at Ottawa since it took office four years ago, askedfor public .support in selling "your government" "We must present thisrecord to .our ,public. I don't think our public relations from 'Ottawa have beenas good as they should be." He touched on the unemployment problem and measures such as winter works projects and aid to technical schopls. "Technology and automation have brought about a great change in tday's world. The figures >on . technical training in Canada arefantastic," he said, adding that there are less than 10,000. Canadians now .,tudying at technial schools. He referred to the new agri• cultural bill, noting that Mr. Card- iff as parliamentary assistant to Agriculture Minister Hamilton had played an important. part in its introduction. The bill would assist the :low- income farm areas and provide extension to water conservation. "It will take time to implement the bill, but it has the potential to strike at the very roots of our agricultural problem,"` he said. Regarding.the-20per cent pen- sion increase recently made to disabled veterans, Mr. Best said the federal government is con- stantly being criticized for giving away too much money. "I ask if you want it to be the way it was —less old age pension, less aid to farmers and' so on? We haven't solved all problems but we are;king legitimate and detailed steps to the problems which have been dominant for ` decades. We have the responsibility for -gov- ernment; Why did the Liberal government not bring about many of the things they are clamoring about now?" Mr. Best, a member of` the House of Commons defence com- mittee, said -it is not the bailieefeeling of the Canadian people to maintain complete neutrality, "We have to maintain a defence position even on a small basis. Ii isimportant .that we maintain our connections with •the United States and .other countries," The speaker is deputy chair• man of the Commons rSsearcb committee as well as being a member of defence! agriculture and : external ' affairs commit. tees.
