find here. We will not have proper accommodations, we will not have proper eating establishments, not have proper recreation establishments and as a result they will do us more harm than good by gomg away complaining about the poor facilities.

We have a very good reputation up to the present time and I contend that we must plan for the future, and make sure that that reputation is maintained and elab- orated upon. And w1th this in mind we have great ideas for the expansion of the tourist trade and for recreation and development.

We have ideas in mind for development of game farms, fishing ponds, trout farms, recreation of all types and sorts. Even to the straight bass fishing which we hope to promote this year with the assistance of the Federal Government and the assistance of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. We hope to try to find some straight bass in our Island waters to attract our tourists here in the years to come.

There is nothing of any importance, I don’t think, Mr. Speaker, that I should elaborate upon any further at this time.

. To give the Leader of the Opposition and the Honourable Premier an oppor- tunity to wmd up this Debate, I will. . ..

Some Member: Tell us about the trees. Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: About the trees? Some Member: Yeah, I want to hear about the trees.

Hon. M. Lorne Bonnell: Well that is about trees belonging to an honourable gentle- man who isn’t here. Since he is not in his seat I will talk to him outside the door rather than mention it in the Legislature.

\Valter R. Shaw: Mr. Speaker, I had intended to take fifteen minutes; I do not propose to do so. I have very few comments to make about this Session other than to me they were most discouraging, and barren of accomplishment. The things that I wanted to see go through here this year, and our group fought for them, were the interests of the farm people of Prince Edward Island, and these interests were not satisfying. I do not propose to say another word about that. I know what the people are thinking. Almost everything else under the sun has been mentioned. Golf courses can be built, corridor roads through Maine can be built, Maritime Union can be promoted at a high cost to this Province, and even Ho Chi Min, or whatever you call him over in North Vietnam, is going to be invited over here to settle the

Asiatic War.

The things that I wanted to get through this year, sincerely and honestly, were the things that were going to affect the economics of this province, and I will

leave that at this point. We didn’t get them.

Last year we were not able to get information on the floor of this House: it was turned over to a Commisslin, which we hear a great deal about. This year we tried to get information on some other development through the group that are

here. We can’t get it.

This last piece of legislation that came in today, one part of which I am strongly in favour of, but I am not in favour of the methods that are being em- ployed to bulldoze that over our own educationalists in this Provmce. I have too

great a respect for them to stand for that.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to thank you for your courtesy during this Session, and I trust that all good things may be with you during the comlng year, and we may

meet again in this Legislature.

I would extend my best wishes to the Members of the Government, and hope that they will be endued with wisdom to carry on the great many problems and serious difficulties that affect this Province at the present time. In that respect I would like to say that I will do everything in my power to assist any development in this Province which is going to affect the happiness and prosperity of this Prov—
