Opposition blasts
cabinet shuffle

Conservative leader
Joe Clark Friday blasted
Prime Minister Pierre
Trudeau's choice of Marc
Lalonde as minister of
finance, calling Lalonde a
“dangerous statist” whose
appointment cast a pall of
uncertainty over the
government’s economic
policy.

Immediate criticism of
the Cabinet shuffle also
came from New
Democratic Party leader
Ed Broadbent and

Newfoundland’s
minister.

In an interview in the
lobby of a downtown
hotel several hours after
Trudeau shuffled the
chief members of his 35-
person Cabinet, Clark
said Jean Chretien,
named energy minister to
replace Lalonde, had a
“credibility problem” and
could experience dif-
ficulty in restoring public
confidence in federal
energy policy.
