But following Sihota’s attack on the forest industry, Premier Mike Harcourt said Sihota is new to the environment ministry and i is young and impetuous. . “When Premier.

If we don't have third. party spending limitations, we are saying that those with tnoney shall have a stronger voice than those who don't. | find that unaccep- table, Will McMartin Progressive Conservative No. The so-called ‘‘gag law"? was part of a comprehensive overhaul of the Canada Elections Act, based upon recommendations by the Lortie Royal Commission. According to the royal commis- sion report, an overwhelming number (if not all) of submissions by members of the public recom- mended a total ban on third-party advertising during elections. Parliament apparently thought it was acting according to the wishes of Canadians when it enacted the royal commission's recommendations. Ted White Reform Party of Canada Reform's MP, Deborah Grey, voted against the ‘gag law.’’ Reform believes in, and promotes, freedom of expression. We disagree with limits on third-party spending. He also. asked why Sihota, Harcourt’s former .labor minister, was re-appointed to Harcourt’s recently re-shuffled cabinet. “According to Webster’s dic-, tionary, when the premier depicts one of his own ministers as impet- uous, he also’ means hasty, un-: controlled, rash, unreasonable and irrational. . “By premier is saying that Mr. Sihota doesn’t belong in cabinet,’’ said .
