The Honourable Attorney-General. INTRODUCTION OF BILLS HON. A, H, MACKLING, Q.C. (Attorney-General)(St. James) introduced Bill 79 , an Act to amend The Law Society Act, (The Honourable the Administrator of the Government of the Province of Manitoba recommends it to the House) • MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable Member for Roblin. MR. WALLY J. McKENZIE (Roblin) introduced Bill No. 76, an Act respecting The Town of Grandview. MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable Member for Swan River. MR . JAMES H, BIT..TON (Swan River) introduced Bill No, 78 , an Act respecting the Village of Minitonas, ORAL QUESTION PERIOD MR . SPEAKER: The Honourable Leader of the Opposition. MR. SIDNEY SPIVAK, Q,C, (Leader of the Opposition)(River Heights): Mr. Speaker, my question is for the First Minister. I wonder when he can indicate when he will be submitting the reference paper and options for Greater Community and Parental Involvement referred to in the resolution filed in Votes and Proceedings. MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable First Minister. HON. EDWARD SCHREYER (Premier)(Rossmere): Mr. Speaker, it is hoped, and in fact intended, that the reference paper would be available before we actually commenced debate of the resolution, MR. SPIVAK: Mr. Speaker, my question is to the First Minister. Will he indicate whether he has in his possession accurate information regarding the capital and operating costs incur:r:ed by each of Manitoba's private schools, showing in addition the gross surplus or deficit, the capital surplus or deficit, and the operating surplus or deficit? MR . SCHREYER: Mr. Speaker, there is information available with respect to the operat ing costs surplus and/or deficit. With respect to capital cost that information is not as readily available. However, I should certainly think that .the .event that the committee referred to 2532 June 1, 1972 (MR. SCHREYER cont'd) •••••commences its deliverations , that even that information on capital costs would become available, MR . SPIVAK : Mr. Speaker, a supplementary question to the First Minister. Will the First Minister be prepared to table whatever infor mation the government has in their pos session in this House at the time that the resolution is introduced ? MR . SCHREYER : Mr. Speaker , one of the problems , I mean I wish I could give· an affirmative answer to that right here and now , however as the Leader of the Opposition realizes, one of the problems is that over the years the government has taken no official cognizance of complete cost, capital and operating costs, and so some of this information will have to be provided by way of request to those in possession of that information at the pr esent time. And the government up to this point in time certainly has not had in any offi cial way that information, MR . SPEAKER : The Honourable Attorney-General. MR . MACKLING: Mr. Speaker , I want to now table an Order for Return No . 9 on the motion of Mr. Blake. MR . SPEAKER : The Honourable Member for Thompson. MR . JOSEPH P. BOROWSKI (Thompson): Mr . Speaker, I have a question for the First Minister. I wonder if he could indicate for the record whether the resolution dealing with aid to schools is his own personal resolution, or whether it has the concurrence of Cabinet or caucus ? MR. SPEAKER : The Honourable First Minister, MR. SCHREYER: Certainly , Mr. Speaker , the record shows that the resolution is in my name and I would hope that it would have the concurrence of all honourable member s; failing that, hopefully maj ority on both sides of the House; failing that maj ority of my col leagues. MR . SPEAKE R: The Honourable Member for Morris. MR . WARNER H. JORGENSON (Morris) : Mr. Speaker , I would like to ask the First Minister if this is in fact a government resolution ? MR. SPEAKER: The Honourable First Minister . MR . SCHREYER: Mr. Speaker , I'm not sure that I know exactly what the honourable member's question is intended to accomplish.
