The 4 / PARLIAMENT: THE END OF THE 29TH achievements of the minority government had been substantial, the sensitivity of the government a welcome relief from the high- handedness of earlier days. [...] UNFINISHED BUSINESS / 5 While Mr Stanfield applauded the one-price policy, he berated the government for the lack of consultation with the provinces, the apparent determination to return only one-half of the proceeds to the producing provinces, and the desire to have a delegated authority to establish an uncertain export charge on the eve of a crucial federal-provincial con- ference. [...] There was no agreement, however, and after consultations over the weekend with the other parties Mr Turner announced the terms of an agreement to the House on January 7. The $6.40 export tax was extended for February and March; the split re- mained the same, but the disposition of the federal share was to be negotiated at the conference. [...] After a failure to secure a compromise over the recess and continual badgering by the NDP, Mr Lang finally brought the bill into the House on January 10 with a clause giving judges the power to determine whether the ninety- day notification was 'in the interests of justice and the protection of privacy.' The NDP would have none of it, and Mr Stanfield said his party was so convinced of the importa [...] Unaware of the NDP decision, MPS and visitors in the galleries waited impatiently through Marcel Lambert's rambling speech on May 7 lead- ing to the limp Conservative motion that the government lacked the confidence of the House 'by reason of its failure to propose effective budgetary measures to contain and reduce inflation.' Finally the NDP leader had the floor.
