Lapolnte
told
the

he
intends

said
he
regretted
that
he
cannot
vote
with
the
govern
ment
and
thus
express
his
confidence
In

of
Mr.

because
there
is
no
one
else
his
people
would
want
to
see
as

minister.
He
added:
"I
hope
that
the
task
to
which
the
prime
minister
has
devoted
his
whole
life
and
the
national
unity
which
he
succeeded
In
realizing
in
Canada,
will
not
come
to
an
end
because
of
the
present
Issue.
The

grew
more
acrimonious
yesterday
as

and
government

rose
to
declare
their
stands
on
the
Issue.
It
Is
now
expected
that
the
vote
will
be

A
