TAYLOR: Mr. Speaker, the introduction yesterday of Bill 60 was a major disappointment to both the Francophone community and myself. I saw the introduction of Alberta's Languages Act as an opportunity for the province to gain so much from so many for so little. But unfortunately the Premier and his members have wasted this opportunity, as they have so many others in the past. To the Premier. Why has the government decided not to take advantage of the money made available to the province of Saskatchewan from the federal government, and also that may be available to us, to translate those laws which groups such as the Francophone Alberta community have requested? Why did we turn down the money? MR. HORSMAN: Mr. Speaker, since I introduced the Bill and since it will be a matter of debate in which I will participate -- it was decided that section 110 of the North-West Territories Act, which had not been in use either in the North-West Territories Act or in Alberta for a century with respect to legislation, was really redundant in terms of its application, and that to engage in the lengthy process of deciding which statutes should be translated into French as opposed to which might not and so on would be unwarranted and unnecessary, given the nature of Alberta and the distinct nature of Alberta society. MR. TAYLOR: Mr. Speaker, back to the Premier. As the Premier oft has to meet with Ottawa to do negotiations, does not the Premier believe that there was a great deal more to be gained by giving up literally nothing and translating these laws into French than to create the unpleasant atmosphere that he now has between Ottawa and Alberta? MR. GETTY: Well, Mr. Speaker, it isn't a case of giving up something. But it is a case of standing up for somebody, and what our government is doing is representing the people of Alberta. We will continue to do that. MR. TAYLOR: Surely, Mr. Speaker, the more we can bring to the bargaining tatde, the better chance of getting Senate reform, for instance. How is the Premier going to argue for Senate reform with eastern Canada when he wouldn't even translate the laws into French at no financial cost to the people of Alberta? Where is his negotiating ability? MR. GETTY: Well, first of all, Mr. Speaker, this is not a matter of dollars and cents. Maybe to the hon. member it is, but this is a matter of this government representing the people of Alberta in the distinct society that we have in this province. If the hon. member can be bought, to allow something that Albertans feel very proud of, the way this province is -- if you can buy him for a few dollars, that's fine, but you can't do it for this government. MR. TAYLOR: Mr. Speaker, I'm flabbergasted. It has to be a weak government that thinks they're giving up something by translating laws into French. This is what Canada's about, surely. How can he expect to go to the bargaining table after having supported Meech Lake and hope to make deals with the rest of the provinces of Canada and the Canadian people for rights for Albertans when he won't give up the niggardly little measly bit of translating laws into French? MR. GETTY: Well, Mr. Speaker, I come back to the hon. member's position that he's taken; that is, that somehow or other you sell out the way Albertans feel in some kind of a negotiating process. Well, we won't do that. If we feel there is something that should be done in Canada, we do it on its merits. We certainly don't look for those other things that the people of Alberta are proud of and stand up for and say, "Well, we'll sell this out in order to get that." We will not do it. I understand the hon. member's position; the Liberals would do that. We will not do it. MR. SPEAKER: The hon. Member for Westlock-Sturgeon has exhausted his supplementaries. Athabasca-Lac La Biche, followed by Calgary-North West. MR. PIQUETTE: To the Premier. Bill 101 is before the Supreme Court. If it is ruled unconstitutional in Quebec, whereby the Anglophone minorities are looking at making sure their rights are respected, are you going to be agreeing with Mr. Bourassa that he has the right to take away the Anglophone rights in Quebec, like you did here in Alberta for the Francophones? MR. SPEAKER: I'm sorry, hon. member; the question's out of order because it's hypothetical, and it's also soliciting a question with regard to the linguistic issue. DR. CASSIN: Mr. Speaker, to the Treasurer. The leader of the Liberal opposition suggested that the moneys coming from the federal House would not cost the people of Alberta any moneys. Perhaps the Treasurer could allude to the member where the federal government obtains its money?
