Mistrial Declared in Denis Hearing in Ottawa
A mistrial halted court proceedings against Raymond Denis on the Lucien Rivard case amid Crown objections over a $60 000 trust deposit slip. Judge Frank Costello keeps Denis on $1 000 bail and schedules next sessions, citing improper Crown procedures and potential postponement by defence counsel Louis Assaly. The case concerns bribery and obstruction of justice linked to Rivard’s bail in 1964.

Budget Highlights From Canadian Tax Reforms
The budget raises personal income tax on middle and high earners while easing low incomes, effective June 1, 1966, adding about 140 million to revenue for 1966-67. It introduces a 5 percent refundable corporate tax and cuts sales tax on production equipment, with several related measures to slow spending and extend economic growth. A 150 million dollar deficit is forecast for 1966-67 on 8.45 billion in expenditures.
Critics rip budget as do nothing plan for taxpayers
Ottawa opposition leaders blasted Finance Minister Sharp's budget as ineffective against rising living costs. Diefenbaker called it dull and heartless, Cameron termed it picayune, and Gregoire accused it of imposing controls on churches. The plan kept the 11 percent sales tax on building materials despite tax relief for machinery.

Baby budget possibilities shake Ottawa as Sharp widens tax
Finance Minister Sharp unveiled a moderate budget aimed at restraining inflation while not derailing growth. Personal income tax rises affect six of ten taxpayers with a later potential baby budget. Corporations face a 5 percent tax on cash profits over 30 000, and incentives urge firms to defer capital outlays. The plan delays building and equipment spending by about 330 million and projects a 1966 67 deficit of 150 million on eight point four five billion spending and eight point three billion revenue.
