Manitoba Legislature Independent Gordon Beard urged a general election to decide the NDP government’s proposed automobile insurance plan. He argued the bill’s fate should not set a government priority and suggested a cooling-off period and a province-wide consensus effort led by Premier Schreyer. Beard said he would back other legislation while opposing rushing the insurance measure.

Manitoba Industry and Commerce Minister Leonard Evans told the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce that economic development is improving. He noted manufacturing shipments rose five percent in early 1970, ahead of the national average, and credited Manitoba’s business community for the gain while warning federal inflation controls could trigger a recession.
