Agriculture Minister J. •• J.

received members. of the
F.A.M.E. executive some time
ago and informed them of 'the
'government's position.'
He was asked in the Com-

as directly to man's condition P Speaker Lamoureux ruled the,
question out of order.
"We have no money for the
'purpose for which FAME needs
help. It is, after all, a private
ente'r'prise," said, Mr. Greene.
"I am entirely sympathetic to
the organization in its problem
and I offered them technical
help which the department is
able to give them, and suggested
that when and if they were
able to raise sufficient equity to
make • their operation viable,
they may be able to apply to
