Howls of protest at budget cuts
The Federal economy program announced by Revenue Minister Benson sparks protests among MPs in Ottawa. Local interests fear postponed projects and reduced government work next year, while critics say the $10.3 billion expenditure ceiling still rises by about 400 million from this year. The plan stresses cuts mainly in plans, not existing projects, and warns of higher costs and civil service growth. It also targets non-budgetary loans affecting housing, farm, and other credit programs.
