In addition, the people not only need to live but to live decently. This means large-scale government, low-cost housing projects and full social security." Mickleburgh struck out at the coalitionists for capitalistic tendencies, charged the CC.F. with having not produced a single constructive post - war suggestion in Prince Rupert and called upon Pattullo to retire.
