Queen and Philip greeted by crowd during Northern Ireland visit
In Belfast loyalists shouted greetings as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip rode past.

Ottawa debate on Canada Assistance Plan drags on
In Ottawa, the Commons sees Liberal MPs help prolong discussion on the Canada Assistance Plan second reading. Health Minister MacEachen may reveal plans to raise old-age pensions if the bill passes, but rules require it only after all MPs finish speaking. Opposition parties push to lift the pension from 75 to 100 dollars monthly immediately, while the government may shelve the plan and push other legislation ahead of summer recess.

Council urged to do more homework on Arena Gardens plan
Alder Roy Wiedemann warned the council that action on Arena Gardens may be well founded criticism and urged more homework. The council approved minor 4000 to 6000 dollar alterations this year while earlier pledges spoke of 20000 to 25000. A 150000 loan for renovation was approved but tied to a broader sports complex study. Public works director Avian Gunter outlined costs and the recreation commission was advised on wall relocation and repairs. Wiedemann apologized for arriving late, a chronic habit noted by peers.
