Manitoba Legislature Debates Conservative Stance In Session
On Monday evening Errick F. Willis led a packed gallery discussion as he said the Conservatives would support the Government to bring stability and allow a royal commission to show if business is serious while opposing any premature election. He pledged not to assume responsibility for political death and criticised the Liberal Social Credit pact as destabilising. The session featured calls for a legislative inquiry into stock brokerage losses and debates over wage tax reductions and drought relief.
