Alberta Bill of Rights debated in legislature
Edmonton March 26 After four hours of debate the Alberta legislature gave second reading to Bill 76 the Bill of Rights for Alberta. Premier Manning spoke for nearly an hour along with Attorney General Maynard and others. The measure envisions pensions of 50 a month for citizens 19 to 60 unemployed or retired after 60, and stresses social security within a framework of rights and responsibilities. Manning emphasized it reflects the will of Albertans and could be amended if necessary. The bill includes preamble rights and a second section on accounting and credit control linked to sustaining a decent standard of living and education. He noted Canada faced 250000 unemployed and argued pensions are not a right but a social security measure to prevent hardship. The piece ends noting the con tinuation on page three.
