The new democrats split on the 35-to-seven vote on second Reading of Amend ments which clarify the authority of Public school boards to provide Grants of up to per student to Pri vate schools if they choose. Five school divisions now have such agreements authorizing Grants totalling about million this year but the practice has been questioned by some other divisions.

Liberal Lloyd Axworthy fort who earlier said he supported the amendments was absent for the vote along with opposition Leader de Schreyer and Larry Desjardins both of whom favored the Bill during debate.

To the Dij critics of the Bill Cosens quoted Schreyer who had said that nothing harmful had resulted from the 10 year old practice and that it in t Likely to happen. To Green who had claimed the move was a step toward full scale Public Aid to private and parochial schools the minister noted he was a member of the Cabinet which had by regu lation raised the allowable Grants even though specific agreements did t go to Cabi net for approval. He Green lived with it for eight years except for a Short spell in 1972 and he must have condoned Cosens said. In response to Bill Jenkins Logan who opposed the Bill calling it pussyfoot legislation because the government really intended to go All the Way the minister said we at least had the intestinal fortitude to do something about it. If you Don t do something about it for eight years that is Pussy replying to other opposition criticism Cosens said it would t Rob the Public Edu cation system of funding nor would it mean private school children would be barred from receiving certain ser vices in Public schools.

In a move admittedly aimed at forcing a major Oil company to repay the government it spent to clean up a gasoline leakage problem in Brandon in 1971, the opposition amendment introduced by Howard Paw Ley would have made the legislation retroactive to nov. However the opposition amendment was lost in a 26 to-11 vote. The amendments to the clean environment act retroactive to May 15 of this year received final approval by the legislature and needs Only Royal assent to become Law. The amendments provid ing that a court determine costs to be recovered for cleaning up contamination were prompted by a court decision in the Brandon Case which said the present Law allowing the clean Environ ment commission to deter mine the costs was outside provincial jurisdiction. Environment minister Brian Ransom rejecting the bid to make the legislation retroactive to 1972, said the company whom he later identified As Texaco had spent and the government to clean up the contamination. The government had attempted under the existing legislation to recover the Cost but the court had declared the procedure Ultra Vires.

We Don t want anybody forced to pay dues or give but former nip agriculture minister Sam l skin Lac Dubonnet called the Bill an undemocratic authoritarian and dictatorial piece of legislation since the association will still presume to speak for producers whether they opt out or Yuskiw said the govern i ment is giving a private body unprecedented Powers and forcing producers to join. The Only recourse for cattle men who Don t receive their refund or who disagree with an association regulation is the courts he said an expensive and unlikely ordeal since Only or in dues May be involved.
