said
Monday
when
the
Throne
Speech
debate
was
resumed.
Mr.
Brett
complimented
the
government
on
Its
announced
Intention
to
create
a
Department
of
Fisheries
to
replace
the
commlsslonership
under
which
the
Industry
was
now
administered.
He
urged
that
two
deputy
ministers
be
appointed
for
the
federal
fisheries
department-one
for
the
Atlantic
and
another
for
the
Pacific.
Mr.
Brett
also
called
for
the
establishment
of
a
fishermen's
loan
board
to
eliminate
the
system
of
small
fishermen
unable
to
finance
the
purchase
of
proper
equipment
themselves
being
forced
to
sell
their
catches
to
monopolistic
fish
companies
at
prices
set
by
the
companies.
The
Goldcnberg
report
was
lauded
by
Mr.
Brett.
Recommendation
of
tax
on
government
properties
could
help
Prince
Rupert
since
fifty
percent
of
all
lands
and
improvements
there
were
government-
owned
and
exempt.
He
thought,
however,
that
the
recommended
sevcnty-flvo
percent
assess
ment
on
improvements
was
too
high.
The
Prince
Rupert
member
said
that
the
city's
former
labor
council
had
made
a
determined
effort
to
keep
the
city
on
a
sound
financial
footing
by
sacrificing
much
needed
services.
He
critl
cized
the
dictatorial
attitude
of
the
Public
Utilities
Commission
in
some
cases
in
hi?
riding.
One
instance,
had
to
do
with
the
city

on

rejected
by

a
C.C.F.
motion
aimed
at
referring
the

readjusting

to
an
"independent"
commission
rather
than
leaving
it
to
a
committee
of
the
House
of

Col.
Gibson
said
the
government
objected
to
the
recommendation
since
an
independent

report
would
lack
explanation
as
to
how
recommendations
should
be
reached
while

members

be

The
effect

to
