Sub-subtopic: SUPPORT FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS FREEZE-MOTION UNDER S.O. 43
Madam Speaker:

Mr. Bill Yurko (Edmonton East):
Madam Speaker, I rise under the provisions of Standing Order 43 on a matter of urgency. I move, seconded by the hon. member for The Battlefords-Meadow Lake (Mr. Anguish):
That all Members of Parliament voluntarily accept a 10 per cent cut in their basic indemnity during the remaining duration of the Thirty-second Parliament and that the $1.5 million per year arising from this salary cut be used to create 1,000 annual student summer jobs.
Madam Speaker:
Is there unanimous consent for this motion?
Agreed.
No.
Mr. Bob Corbett (Fundy-Royal):
Madam Speaker, the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources has for months been promising Atlantic Canadians that the natural gas pipeline is going from Quebec to that region. The Prime Minister has stated that it is as vital a link in the unity of this country as is the railroad. I move, seconded by the hon. member for Carle-ton-Charlotte (Mr. McCain):
That this House invite the government to show its sincerity toward Atlantic Canada and endorse the pipeline to cross the St. Lawrence by unanimously
accepting this motion, or to show its scorn and contempt for Atlantic Canadians by rejecting it.
Madam Speaker:
Is there unanimous consent for this motion?
Agreed.
No.
Mr. Joe Reid (St. Catharines):
Madam Speaker, last evening hundreds gathered on Parliament Hill to join in congratulating the Polish Alliance of Canada as it observed its 75th anniversary. They listened with great expectancy to the words of the Minister of State for Multiculturism to hear some announcement on how a greater number of Poles might be admitted to Canada from the Austrian refugee camps, but none came. I move, seconded by the hon. member for Western Arctic (Mr. Nickerson):
That the government strip the red tape and delaying bureaucratic tactics so as to admit to this country a greater number of Polish refugees from Austria, and within a much shorter period of time.
Madam Speaker:
Is there unanimous consent for this motion?
Agreed.
No.
Mr. Gordon Towers (Red Deer):
Madam Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 43 to ask this House to condemn the remarks alleged to have been made by the hon. member for Ottawa Centre (Mr. Evans) when he accused Canadians who expected more from the November budget of trying to scrounge a free lunch. What other comments could one expect from a test-tube economist who has spent all his working life in text-book economics or lapping up free lunches himself at the public trough? I move, seconded by the hon. member for Cambridge (Mr. Speyer):
That the hon. member for Ottawa Centre, the former parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Finance, apologize to Canadians for his boorish and inaccurate comments on the intent and impact of that disastrous document the government had the gall to call a budget.
