A / o / / 1 * SOURCE 0 0 , f * ° CLASSIFICATION * • U O C ^ I S S J For more than a week now, a rumour has been circulating that one of the reasons the federal government sent troops into Quebec and then imposed emergency regulations under cover of the war measures Act, was that it apnefred thafa group of prominent quebecers was about to stage a political ^oSagaiist theVovincial government of Robert Bourassa Ring-leaders of ?he revolutionary cabal, according to this rumour ^ / ^ u d e R y a n , Editor of the newspaper Le Devoir, and Rene Levesque, Head of the Parti Quebecois which got 23* oT the vote in last spring's provincial election. Mr Ryan has already denied the rumour in his newspaper arid this weekend ou; S i a m e n t a r y correspondant, Peter Reilly, went to Montreal to talk to S T Svesque. Levesque accused the government of deliberately keeping the r m o S S v e in order to provide a reason for what he called the "unjustified I S " it took in invoking the war measures Act. He said sources close to S S u d e a u deluding his personal assistant, Marc Lalonde, and Jean Marchand, M a s t e r of Regional and Economic Expansion, might be involved and he ac^Sed the Prime Minister of washing his hands like Pontius Pilate Here Sowon videotape is part of the interview between Reilly and Levesque: L- That's a very curious hoax. Basically what it seems to spring from is A?b£sA ,P^3SS S ^ 1 _£_-= SS.'gS ££ AA^A^^ZZT^AI^F r r s ^ j v s IA ? think it was on a Wednesday; and if you remember right, the war measures I t i £ broSht L on Siday of that same week. So we got together because K S ili-iv *t iPast in charge of that negotiation because on top of Mr. Gross eaTother ' - ^ on a .edneaday things „ « t o ba going n o ^ a U , - 008483 �- 2 - nothing in there except apparently and this is Claude Ryan's own story, he wrote it in Le Devoir and had to go by it because it makes sense. Apparently in Le Devoir as a group of writers after the Laporte kidnapping, they got together in the paper and worried about what are the next dew days going to bring? That was an inner, an inside discussion in the paper and they came up with various 'hypothese' in other words this could happen, that could happen the other thing could happen. How do we react to this, that and the other thing. One of the things they imagined possible and God knows it could have happened, was that the Bourassa government would more or less crumble because everyone knew there was division in Cabinet. After all some people think of Pierre Laporte first and foremost and others would say well we have to go along with the hard line in Ottawa - well there was division - it could have crumbled. So the Le Devoir group apparently among the things they thought could have happened was that crumbling of the government. But that's as far as it went except that apparently Claude Ryan spoke , or talked about it to guys like Lucien Saulnier who's very close to Mayor Drapeau. Now this was, apart from Ottawa, this was the harfi-line gang that would now, you know, negotiate about anything. From the word go the decision was made apparently both at City Hall in Montreal and in Ottawa that nothing doing, you know - the big stick to the raison d'etat, in other words the state is above everything. So probably part of the City Hall hysteria became this idea when Ryan spoke to them about possibilities that my God is there something brewing? You know, people can be that silly even higher-ups. That's the only explanation I can find: except another thing that is really poisonous the thing is that they took as a rumour by papers whose correspondants or powers that be seem to have spoken quite a bit to Pierre Trudeau or to people in his cabinet or in his personal staff and also to the Mayor(?) of Montreal so, and you know Mayor Drapeau when he was reelected last Sunday also taked nysteriously and rather deviously as people in Ottawa have been doing, about, there could be .. there's smoke They were supplying the smoke themselves - if there's smoke there could have been fire. Which makes it more serious than the facts themselves in other words those guys are trying to find new explanations or supplying new hypotheses new possibilities in order not to be cornered in their own over reaction to events because what has really happened as far as we know and as far as Mr. Trudeau himself has been saying to the House was not one-half of one-tenth sufficient to clamp down with war measures Act on Quebec. Bringing in the army is different, because when the police are run ragged, bringing in the ariny is normal. We pay for it Christ let's use it once in a while. The war measures Act is quite different, its clamping down on people's basic freedoms in Quebec with no sufficient reason whatsoever. Once they have 'did' it, and are looking sillier and sillier all the time they have to try and make things confused enought and they are using this 'plot' as one way of doing it. And the Toronto Star and the Montreal Gazette and a couple of days ago the Montreal Star played the game rather nicely. But thst's as much plot as I know of. R: Do you know from your own personal knowledge that these rumours are being kept alive by the Prime liinister's Office or anyone close to the Prime Minister? L: I know that the darn thing seems to be moving all over outside Montreal, all over papers and various information centres, out of Ottawa, and out of circles close to Mr. Trudeau. V/hether it is M. Lalonde or M. Marchand in his rather devious way, you know, because he is also part of the game trying to link FRAP, the local opposition Party in Montreal to the FLQ, whether its •• '008484 �- 3 - Marchand whether it's drapeau in his speech or whether it's other people who seem to be moving very close to the Trudeau bunch in Ottawa, that's where it seems to be originating all the time. Naturally, like Pontius Pilate, M. Trudeau when he goes on the air, so does M. Bourassa, says well I never confirm rumours, or I never have anything to do with them ...

Le 1 novembre 70 SOURCE 11:35 CLASSIFICATION CKCH Emission intitulee "BOURASSA DIALOGUE" M. Bourassa annonce un prochain Remaniement Ministeriel Q: Pour nommer Mr. Fournier Ministre d'etat? R: Oui j'ai dit que je ferais un remaniement ministeriel plus precis,plus structure au cours dee prochains mois. II y avait un autre probleme actuellement que le gouvernment doit faire face; c'est le nombre considerables de Bills prives. II n'y en a pas eu durant la derniere session. II y en a eu tres peu, je pense, avant avec 1'union Nationale. Alors il y a eu une accumulation de bills prives. Alors c'est pourquoi M. Roy Fournier avec son experience considerable avec son droit municipal, notemmant, avec son esperience oarlementaire etait tout designe pour faire face a cette tSche. Q: On a annonce au cours de cette semaine Mr. Aurnier que vous aviez adresse une lettre de felicitations a M. Saulnier qui semblait prendre activement ses responsabilites dans son nouveau role a la t€te des municipalites de la region m^tropolitaine. R.: On connait la competence exceptionnelle de M. Saulnier dans les questions municipales et il a fait ses preuves comme president du comite executif de Montreal, alors c'est I'un des postes les plus importants qui peut etre confie par le gouvernment et j'etais tres heureux de le confier a M. Saulnier. Alors c'est la communaute urbaine de Montreal qui fait suite a une loi adoptee il y a quelques mois et qui se trouve a regrouper certains services pour les rendre plus efficaces et pour reduire leur coQt, pour empecher la duplication. C'est une position qui est tres importante; il faut que cette communaute urbaine de Montreal reussisse et c'est le coeur de 1'economie du Quebec et je pense que M. Saulnier est tres qualifie pour faire face a cette tache. Q: Et maintenant quel est son role precis; on aparle a certains moments du manque de democratic dans le choix de M. Saulnier, pas lui personnellement, bien sur, parce tous etaient d'accord avec ce que vous venez de dire qu'il a d<?ja demontre qu'il a toutes les qualites necessaires pour remplir ce role. Mais, est-ce qu'il travaille pour le gouvernement, est-ce qu'il va porter a bien les politiques du gouvernement ou est-ce qu'il aura un peu les memes responsabilites de quelqu'un qui aurait ete elu democratiquement et est-ce qu'il pourrait prendre sur lui d'aller dans telle ou telle direction. R: A la sessionde Suffrage Universel disons qu'il a ete discute, et nous avons decide de la considerer,(.mais il y a toute sorte d'indications et c'est pourquoi le gouvernment ne pouvait accepter que le president de la Commission Urbaine soit elu au Suffrage Universel M. Saulnier etait entierement d'accord meme il preferait cette solution) mais nous avons tenu a considerer toutes les indications et M. Saulnier a comme responsabilite, disons, de faire fonctionner la conmunaute comme telle. II y aurait differentes faeons pour arriver sa nomination. II aurait pu etre choisi par tous les representants de differentes municipalitees II aurait pu etre elu au Suffrage Universel ou nomme par le gouvernement. Alors nous avons opte etant donne les circonstantes, pour la troisi&me solution. Q:Mais la faqon de le nommer, est-ce qu'elle peut changer son role? R: Non je pense que M. Saulnier aurait les mains entierement libres pour diriger la communaute urbaine comme telle. Q: Revenons maintenant aux lois des mesures de guerre dont nous avons parle la semaine derniere. J'aimerais connaltre votre opinion a savoir si bientot cette loi ou cet etat d'expression sera suspendu et est-il vrai que la nouvelle legislation qui doit e*tre apportee a la ChambrJ des Communes serait retardee? R: La nouvelle qui a ete rendue publique c'est la nouvelle legislation doit 6tre deposee au cours de la semaine prochaine. Q: Je pense meme d'ailleurs qu'apres cette rumeur a laquelle je viens d'apporter un echo a ete contredit par M. Trudeau lui-meme. R: C'est possible evidemment. M.

SOURCE CLASSIFICATION communes la semaine prochaine. Q: Est-ce que vous pensez qu'il y a une relation entre cette legislation ou la finde cet etat d1expression que nous avons et la capture des presumes ravisseurs de MM Cross et Laporte. R: Les mesures de guerre ont ete adoptees comme vous le savez parce qu'il n'y avait pas d'autre choix. La on veut presente une legislation pour remplacer les mesures de guerre comme telles. CS ne veut pas dire que c'est la fin de pouvoirs speciaux pour la force policiere parce que'actuellement les ravisseurs de M. Cross ne sont pas encore captures de mgme que les assassins de Pierre Laporte alors la situation exige encore que les forces policiere puissent poursuivre leur travail et evidemment lorsqu'a la suite de discussions, de negociations et de resultats des forces policieres on sera convaincus que cette loi la et cette nouvelle loi ne doit plus etre appliquee. Evidemment pourquoi s'en dispenser. Mais actuellement l'etat de la situation exige que cette legislation donne aux forces policieres les moyens necessaires d'accomplir leur travail. Q: Est-ce que la preparation de cette loi entre le gouvernement federal et le ^ebec a ete facile parce que nous nous aviez dit la semaine derniere que toutes les provinces devaient etre consultees. C'est une loi qui touche non seulement le gouvernement federal mais aussi toufe les gouvernements provinciaux. R: Bien, je suppose que les autres provinces ont ete consultees ou ont fait des suggestions. Evidemment je ne peux pas parler pour les autres provinces. Mais comme je vous disais la semaine derniere dans le cas du Quebec nous avons ete consulte et nous avons fait des suggestions. Q: Alors ca ete un dialogue assez facile? R:L*application est faite par le gouvernement provincial. Tout le monde est d'accord qu'actuellement dans la situation que nous traversons, il faut essayer d'avoir les mesures les plus appropriees possible pour mettre fin a l'etat d'insecurite que nous connaissons. Q: Esce que vous pourriez nous dire publiquement comment ca fonctionne un peu pour les services de polices. J'avais pose quelques questions la dessus la semaine derniere. Nous savons qu'actuellement a la recherche des presumes ravisseurs il y aurait la Police Provinciate, La police de Montreal et aussi la police federale. Est-ce que les 3 travaillent ensemble ou est-ce qile c'est sous une direction unique ou si , par exemple, le gouvernment avait a feliciter le corps policier, k qui devrait-il s'adresser? R: Un arrete en conseil a ete adopte il y a quelques jours, il y a 2 semaines je crois, qui mettait les forces policiere sou l'autorite du directeur de la police de la Stirete du Quebec. C'est evidemment une loi qui a ete adoptee l'annee derniere a l'occasion des emeutes k MontrealTOUS vous souvenez et cet arrete, c'est le directeur de la Surete du Quebec qui est responsable de l'ensembre des forces policieres. Q: Et les autres travaillent en cooperation avec vous? R: Exactement Q: On devra reunier les deputes bientot. Je pense que la retour k 1'Assemble Nationale est p_revu pour le 8 novembre? R: Le 10 novembre, SO. y avait necessity de convoquer l'Assemblee Nationale avant, si on on etait convaicu qu'il faille les convoquer avant, si ?a nous apparaissait necessaire pour le bien public, on le ferait mais en principe c'est le 10 novembre. Q: J'ai entendu dire que vous aviez I'intention d'apporter un genre de programme d'urgence vu les evenements que nous avons connus au cours des derniers jours. Cest-ce que c'est vrai? R: Nous poursuivrons le travail que nous avons commence. Nous n'avons pas pris un moment de repit depuis nos elections au milieu du mois de Mai.

II y a tout ce qui a ete fait pour le Francais comme langue de travail avec certains resultats concrets. Alors dans le domaine de la constitution on a decide d'avoir des rencontres bilaterales pour acceierer les resultats. Alors sur tous ces plans contitutionels, socials, economiques, culturels, le gouvernment du Quebec a certainement donne des preuves depuis 5 mois, qu'il etait decide et qu'il voulait agir. Alors nous allons poursuivre notre travail. C'est quand meme pas les assassins de Pierre Laporte qui vont modifier la politique du gouvernment. Nous sommes convaincus qu'il faut aller soit rechercher le progres social; 2 lois, sans precedent, seront appliquees le ler novembre; la loi d'assurance-sante et la loi d'aide sociale. Nous sommes convaincus qu'il faut absolument combattre le ch3mage specialement dans le contexte actuel. Alors, c'est exactement ce que l'on va faire parce qu'on l'a deja fait et qu'on va continuer a le faire. Q: Est-ce que vous faites entierement confiance toujours a ce systeme de gouvernment que nous avons a l'Assemblee Ntionale? Je veux dire par la que plusieurs au cours des derniers jours se sont dit: "II devrait y avoir une opposition". II y a peut-etre une opposition a L'exterieur de l'Assemblee Nationale, par les mouvements de oression, par les declarations de chefs politiques ou d'hommes politiques. Est-ce que vous faites toujours confiance au gouvernnment tel qu'etabli pour oouvoir trouver des solutions aux problemes que nous conaissons? R: II y a la liberte d'expression et tous les chefs politiques ont le droit de s'exprimer et certains ont decides de s'abstenir a cause des circonstances. D'autres chefs politiques multiplient les declarations. Les groupes et les corps interaediaires ont absolukent le droit, s'ils le veulent, d'exprimer leur point de vue alors on ne peut pas dire que la liberte d'expression a ete moi ndrement atteinte par cette crise-la au Quebec. Si on reunissait le Parlement, on entendrait les choses qui se sont dites de part et d'autre depuis le debut. Ce serait, a mon sens, un peu une repetition. Comme je vous disais tant6t, si on pense que c'est necessaire de le faire, on ±a le faire, mais, actuellement, nous n'en voyons pas la necessste. Q: En terminant, M. Bourassa, l'image du Quebec i. l'etranger. II y a 2 semaines vous avez du interrompre votre voyage dans des villes americaines mais pour de s raisons de mauvaux temps. C'est je pense a. Boston. Est-ce que vous devez reprendre cette visite dans la ville de BOA ton ou encore est-ce que vous avez des choses ou des commentaires eu des lettres qui wous font voir que le Quebec n'a peut-ltre plus l'image qu'il avait ou est-ce que dans l'autre c6te, d'une facon encourageante vous pouvez toujours esperer avoir des investissement de l'etranger. R: Vous savez, il y a un element, disons, qui est plus encourageant dans cette criise 14, malgre tous les effets penibles que cela a pu donner pour l'image du Quebec. C'est que le preuve a ete donnee que le Gouvernement du Quebec, que le Gouvernement federal, que la ville de Montreal, les autorites gouvernementales n'hesitaient pas a prendre les moyens necessaires pour agir. C'estIt-dire que lorsqu'il a fallu recourir a l'armee, j'ai. appele l'armee et l'armee est venue. II a fallu appliquer les Mesures du Guerre; les mesures de guerre ont ete appliquees. Alors, le gouvernement a du demontrer une determination, une fermete pour guarantir la securite des cifoyens qui devraient constituer dans le portrait global un signe moins negatif que, disons, les enlevements ou les assassinats qui, faut bien l'admettre, n'ont pas aide a la reputation du Quebec.

For example, it states that in any prosecution for an offence under this Act, evidence that any person, either before or after the coming into force of this Act, participated in or was present at a number of meetings of the unlawful association or of any branch - and so on; this seems to run counter to our whole legal tradition - the power to go after someone for something he did even before the Act was proclaimed. A: I will admit right from the start that this Act does a lot of things that lie outside our normal practices. of that. There is no doubt I could give you other examples of it, and we make no excuses for it. When dealing with this problem - the FLQ, terrorism, the kidnapping of two men and the murder of one of them - we had to take emergency measures. I do not try to deny it. But in the case of the specific example you mention, this is all the more understandable for the fact that it is a question of finding the members of a secret society whose avowed aim is terrorism. If it were a case of an open democratic movement, a pressure group, I think it would be a little more difficult to justify this measure, because the people involved would be members of movements expressing all kinds of extreme policies, but within the law. But when you become a member of a terrorist movement whose aim is to murder, bomb and assassinate, there is no longer any question of retroactivity. This is a movement that was founded, I believe, in 1963, and has since carried out a hundred bombings; it has six deaths to its credit, or debit, rather; the abduction of two prominent people, and so on. It is an underground, clandestine movement, whose aim is the violent overthrow of the state. So it is not we who are retroactive; we are lagging a step behind the law because for seven years, as I said, this movement has been blowing up buildings, mail-boxes, the Montreal Stock Exchange, and killing people. 008530 �- 2 - Q: But Mr. Trudeau, is it not true that with a measure like this, you can reach a large number of people who really have nothing to do with the FLQ? For example, I was present myself at a FRAP meeting at the Paul Sauve Arena. At the end of the evening, we heard speakers who have been associated with the FLQ. Well, that does not make me a criminal, whereas according to your law.... A: No, I think you are playing with words to some extent. You attended public meetings where FRAP and other things were discussed, and perhaps there were FLQ speakers present, I don't know. But the Act is aimed at people who have attended FLQ meetings as such, that is, meetings of cells whose aim is to commit murder, or kidnappings or bombings. The two must not be confused. Q: The Act also refers to any group that might be connected with...That seems very broad; it frightens some people, A great deal could be done to repress opposition if the government has a law like that. A: To begin with, if you don't mind, we shall not use the word "repression", because repression is not involved here. This is a matter of applying legislation approved by Parliament, regulations that were agreed to almost unanimously by the House to deal with a special situation involving terrorism. T h i s is police intervention, I agree, but against people who advocate terrorism, murder and assassination. This is the first point to be borne in mind. that such measures could be turned against other groups. You say Of course, the Act is for use against the FLQ or movements with exactly the same aims and objectives to be gained through force, through violence, and so on. You really cannot say 'only the FLQ'. Those initials might be changed overnight so that there would be another movement, but with the same guys as members, and the same designs. We have no wish at all to get our hands on innocent parties like yourself who were simply present... 008531 �- 3 - Q: Innocent - in what sense? A: Innocent in the legal sense. senses too, but I cannot judge. Perhaps innocent in other We want to get hold of the FLQ, those who believe in terrorism and practise it, without allowing anyone to slip through our fingers who says that h.A p-roup can get around the Act by changing initials. Q: But surely the concern of th.. legislator faced with drafting laws such as this, those making exceptions, is to guard against the possible arrest of too many people who have nothing whatsoever to do with the terrorism, for example. A: Exactly. That is our concern. Q: To take the first act - the War Measures Act - you claim to have invoked it on the grounds of the kidnappings, the thefts of dynamite, the pleas for help from the City of Montreal and the Government of Quebec; do you think that you have satisfactorily established - this question has already been put to you several times that the state of apprehended insurrection really existed? A: We all know what insurrection is, of course - apprehended insurrection? but what is An insurrection apprehended by responsible people, I suppose. Q: Such people certainly have a great deal of leeway at such moments. A: That is quite true, but the Act was written that way because you just cannot wait until an insurrection has begun and five hundred people have already been mowed down in the streets so that you can safely say, yes, this is definitely an insurrection. provides for a declared or apprehended war. The same Act In war-time, the War Measures Act does not wait until the enemy has occupied the capital and begun slaughtering its inhabitants. When war is as imminent as that, those in power feel they must take extreme action, and they do so. In the case in point, apprehension of insurrection was unanimous on the part of the Government of Quebec, the Montreal City administration, the federal government and also, if memory serves me, all the Quebec M.P.'s 008532 �- A - in Ottawa who voted in favour of the Act. In other words, those who know what's what in Quebec said, "this is serious, the people we are dealing with have been responsible for a hundred bombings, six murders, and so on, and now have as good as said that street-fighting could begin any time." CEGEPs. Then there was the situation in the universities, in the I think that if the Government had waited for further outbreaks of violence, sporadic shooting in defense of life or property, perhaps a couple of deaths as was the case at Kent State, people would surely have said that the Government might have foreseen something of what was going to happen, done something to forestall it, anticipated trouble. Well, in the view of all those who assessed the situation, that is just what we did - we anticipated trouble. Q: line. But in that affair you were more or less advocating a hard Or in any case, you were unwilling to give in to any of the demands made by the kidnappers, at least on anything important. Was that perhaps the reason you had to resort to such spectacular measures, by which I mean the War Measures Act? Even now, people - or quite a few people, anyway - find it hard to understand why this Act was invoked. A: I don't know what you would call a hard line. Our position was that when a terrorist organization tries to tell the Government whom to let out of prison it is no longer a question of adopting a hard line or a soft line. There are some people who feel that a government elected by the people has the right to run this country, and then there are the people I would call the soft-liners, who say, "oh well, this time we'll free the twenty-three prisoners, even if they are murderers, assassins, robbers and what have you, and then we'll see about next time." Q: Now that is what I would call a soft line. But in what way, Mr. Trudeau, would the integrity of our institutions have been harmed if you had agreed to the freeing of the political prisoners, but with the intention of then implementing the security measures which we're all familiar with now in order to find the kidnappers, or... A: But why wait to implement such measures? Supposing... 008533 �• - 5 - Q: You might have saved two lives. This is the argument put forward by the people who are concerned with human life. A: So they say that we should have given in to the terrorists' demands to save Mr. Laporte and Mr. Cross, when you would be more severe the next time because you would be forewarned. what would happen the next time? Can't you see Suppose we had given in to these demands, suppose we had also found Mr. Laporte's murderers and had put them in prison. Then - next time round - the terrorists could carry off somebody else - you, perhaps, or me, or another minister. And when they demanded the release of their members, would you expect the government to say, "Oh well, you can kill Martin if you like. We didn't want you to kill the others, but this time you might as well go ahead." If we give in to the terrorists once, if we give in to their demands just once, we will have no reason to draw the line at any given point after that. Q: In this particular case, Mr. Trudeau, which is the first time such a thing has happened, you were pretty well taken by surprise. The element of surprise would not be possible a second time, or at least it would be far less. A: Why? in the balance. What would be different? A man's life would still hang You feel that in this third case we could say, "we didn't want you to kill the first two because we weren't prepared." Q: What I meant to say was... A: "Go ahead and kill the third one, because we weren't taken by surprise this time." Q: You would have been better prepared to foresee such events in future as a result of this one. A: How? Do you think that it will be possible to prevent kidnappings and assaults indefinitely? Are you suggesting that we should have released those prisoners and then applied the War Measures Act? Are you suggesting that we should have called out the army to guard everyone and then indulged in repressive measures, to use your terms, to prevent such a thing from happening ever again? I can tell you that the government must stand firm from the very start: there is a 008534 �• - 6 government elected by the people, there are governments elected by the people, and it is these governments which run the country. Once they give in to the demands of terrorists on fundamental issues, whether they are influenced in such a decision by terrorism or murder - because the FLQ are murderers - then these governments no longer exist. Government authority would cease at that moment. Q: But what is scandalous about influential Quebecers having been concerned, if you will, that Quebec, the Quebec Government, should play a leading role in this crisis, if these people saw that the real causes of the crisis are Quebec Government responsibilities, such as social problems, cultural and economic problems- After all Quebec's role is... A: I don't regard it as a scandal at all. On the contrary, that is what took place: Quebec played the dominant role. Government of Quebec, elected six months ago It was Quebec, the with a large majority of seats, which asked for the army to be sent in. At that, we in the Federal Government hesitated for several days, not wishing to take a premature step. It was the Governments of Quebec and Montreal which asked us to apply the emergency legislation, the War Measures Act. They had been asking us to do so for several days. They did not ask for it categorically, but said, "this Act may have to be invoked; consider the possibility." And we in the Federal Government replied, "isn't there some other way?" the War Measures Act. We tried to delay recourse to It was Quebec and Montreal which took the initiative of saying, "now is the time for the Act." I am not saying that we too hadn't come to the conclusion that the Act had to be invoked, but the initiative did not come from us. The first people who asked me to have this Act proclaimed were the Quebec and Montreal authorities, and I think they were right, in the circumstances. not trying to pass the buck to them. I am I am merely saying it is an error to claim that the initiative did not come from Quebec, that Ottawa tried, in one way or another, to force Quebec to our way of thinking. That is not true at all. 008535 �• - 7 Q: But that was because we had the impression of a sudden switch, if you like, in the position of Quebec, between Sunday and Thursday night, when a breakthrough was made with regard to possible negotiation with the kidnappers, and Thursday night, when that possibility was cut off. A: You are entitled to your impression of course, but it has nothing to do with the position of Ottawa. As early as Sunday, the Quebec leaders told us that they were going to ask us to invoke the War Measures Act. It was put off for several days, with their consent, I might add, in the hope that the police would succeed in finding the kidnappers, and Messrs. Laporte and Cross as well. And at a given moment they said, "we cannot wait any longer, especially with violence threatening to break out in the streets." was, "it's now or never." What they said to us in fact It was felt that they were justified in their request and therefore the Act was invoked, after the army was sent into Quebec - I should'nt say into Quebec, because the army was there already; it was mostly the men stationed in Valcartier, for the most part, who were involved in the operation. Q: With reinforcements from pretty well all over the country nevertheless... A: No. There were very few men who... Q: But what I was referring to earlier when I spoke of influential Quebecers who were concerned that Quebec should play a leading role in this crisis, were the rumours of a plot, if you like, which are supposed to have been started by certain federal circles and which have made the rounds of the press, as you know; apparently they came from here. It is difficult to understand, in the circumstances, why all this talk of a plot. A: I would like to point out to you that it was not the federal government that spoke of a plot. It was the journalists, and in the House, where for an entire week I was questioned on a so-called plot in Montreal. I have always taken the attitude that it is not up to ma to either confirm or deny these rumours. I told the 0 position and 008536 �• - 8 - the journalists that it was their responsibility if they wanted to spread rumours and for a week they did spread them. Q: But on your side now, was it not decided to use this crisis in some way to consolidate the federalist position in Quebec? A: In what way? Q: Well, a rumour like that might have served to discredit certain persons, say. Ihen too, the information agencies of the Federal Government seem to be taking a more aggressive approach when it comes to selling federalism in Quebec. A: A more aggressive approach? Q: I see it in radio stations, for example, where the speech of Prime Minister Trudeau is distributed, and things like that.,. A: But do you find this abnormal? Q: No. But let's say that it wasn't done with the same intensity before. A: It is possible that in the past, radio stations were not as, shall we say, impartial on the federal position as they are now, but I find nothing irregular in the fact that they distribute copies of my speech, since they also distribute all kinds of other things. there was intent to discredit. discredited themselves. You say I think rather that the people in question There were people who, during the crisis, said that the governments elected by the people have the right to govern. There were also all the others,fuzzy thinkers and soft-liners who said, "well, perhaps the terrorists should govern, not forever, but just for a little while, and perhaps terrorism should decide what is to become of the prisoners, etc. Sure, afterwards! The state will govern afterwards." Probably after it has been destroyed or demoralized! But that was not our view of the situation. When a government was elected in Quebec, barely six months ago, with a great majority of the seats, i feel it is entitled to govern, and I feel it is this government, and we who have also been elected, who must say whether the law is to be applied or not. 008537 �- 9 Q: Mr. Trudeau, in this kind of context, if there really was a state of apprehended insurrection, how is it possible to justify on the other hand - I have put this question several times but I find it difficult to get a satisfactory answer - to justify on the other hand the holding of democratic elections on the municipal scene in Montreal? A: What, were the elections anti-democratic? vented from voting? Q: Were the ballot boxes removed? Were people preI don't know... No, but in such an atmosphere of panic, does the vote really express citizens' thinking on municipal problems? A: Where I would agree with you is, if there had been no recovery, if order had not been restored by means of the army, the War Measures Act, and the operations of which you are aware, there would perhaps have been panic on Sunday, and people might have been afraid to vote because, for heaven's sake, bombs were falling and people were being kidnapped. On the contrary, I think that the high percentage of votes cast in the municipal elections proved that people had finally relaxed. People were not afraid to go out to vote. Q: Perhaps they voted in a certain way, because deep down they were afraid. It is not a very healthy climate in which to hold elections. A: I agree, it was not a very healthy climate, but I would like to point out that it was not the Government of Montreal, or that of Quebec, or that in Ottawa, which kidnapped Mr. Laporte and Mr. Cross; we did not decide to assassinate people. Q: Wouldn't it have been wiser to put it off to a later date? A: Are you then telling me that at any time someone doesn't want a government to hold elections, anyone can start a panic like this, throw a bomb, terrorize people, or stage a kidnapping? how long should governments postpone their elections? For Six months, when in six months there would perhaps be more panics and more bombs? 008538 �10 • No, I think we must ensure - it is a democracy - that elections can be held freely. I do not think anyone has shown that in Montreal, on the Sunday in question, in the polling booths, people did not vote freely. Of course, they had the whole atmosphere of the rteceding fifteen days in their minds, but it was the terrorists and FLQ assassins who had produced this atmosphere. Q: In the present context, Mr. Trudeau, several people are wondering if we have been witnessing a dress rehearsal. Is their question justified, those persons who are wondering if independence would be possible, within a country such as Canada, even by democratic means? - and they then point to certain remarks by politicians from other provinces; they point, if you will, to your own anti- nationalism which is also very fervent. A: I did not quite get your question. Of course I have attacked separatism, as the separatists have attacked federalism. I do not see why you would draw from that the conclusion that people are not free to preach separatism. They managed to elect quite a few people in the provincial elections, they got quite a few votes. There has never been, to use your expression, any repression against these persons. On the contrary, we even see separatists in the CBC, in the back rooms of newspapers, you see them everywhere. is certainly not an atmosphere of repression. This These people are entitled to make their views heard. Q: But could the present powers of governments, under the law passed on the 16th and the one that will be passed soon, lead to the discrediting of legitimate political opinions in a context such as ours? A: I hope not. If the separatists seek to identify themselves with the techniques of the FLQ, then of course that is what will happen. But if I am not mistaken, there are many democratic separatists who have tried to prevent such an identification, and that is a good thing. I believe it is up to those who believe in separatism not to support the FLQ, Unfortunately, some separatist leaders and many others have supported, you might say, the objectives of the FLQ. They did so publicly, in Montreal. 008539 �• - 11 Q: Such as? A: You know, the union leaders, Mr. Ryan, Mr. Laberge, and others. They aipported at least one FLQ aim: a government agreement to free prisoners. Q: That makes them accomplices, does it not? A: Not at all. Nevertheless, they did say, "those guys have done something, we shall have to give in to them". I find - and I am answering your question - perhaps that they identified themselves in the public mind not with the use of violence, but with the demands of those who were using it.. Q: crisis, But did people not have the right, in the present to choose a position other than that of the government? A: They had every right, but you are asking me if there is not a danger of the separatists' identifying themselves with the terrorists. I say that if there is a danger, it is created not by me but by their own behaviour. There were people who are not separatists, even some who are federalists, who said that the government should give in to terrorism. murdered; Two men had been kidnapped, one the FLQ was demanding that the government give in to its blackmail demands: were after money; half a million in gold bars, because those guys they also wanted freedom for the twenty-three prisoners, a number of whom were in prison for murder, armed robbery, and so on. That is why I used the word "soft" just now to describe those who, in this crisis, said that we must give in to those guys for various reasons of a social or other nature, I believe they were wrong. Q: But Mr. Trudeau, since your election, and even since the eve of the 1968 general election, you seem to have opted for a strategy of confrontation with respect to separatism, have you not? You still favour direct confrontation. Is that the best course in your opinion? A: No, it is not the best course in my opinion. ask you this: who started the confrontation? But I would Was it not the separatists, who came and booed me at the time of the election? 008540 �• - - 12 Was it not they who created the disturbance in Montreal on SaintJean-Baptiste Day, June 24, 1968? Is it not the separatists who attack the Federal Government day after day? speak of confrontation. I do not know why you You would have them attack us constantly while we keep completely silent. We, on the other hand, believe in cooperation between the Ottawa and Quebec governments; I think the separatists generally look with disfavour on this - they would like Quebec to solve all the problems, as if the Ottawa government had not also been elected by the people of Quebec and of Canada. Q: But doesn't your reply lead you to lessen the emphasis on analysis of the factors that result in a vigorous nationalism in Quebec and a separatist movement with stronger and stronger roots? A: It's you who say that it has stronger and stronger roots. Q: I am speaking of the results of the last elections, Mr. Trudeau. A: I am relying on facts. But what is your view in this situation? That the Federal Government should give way before every separatist demand? Or should it say, "we have been elected to apply federalism, the Government of Quebec was also elected on a federalist program, we are going to defend federalism." Therefore, According to you, every time people attack us and seek a confrontation, we should fall back. That is not our way of doing things. Q: No, but I wonder whether you might not at some time be led to re-analyse the realities and then, perhaps, change or soften your approach? A: Agreed, but why should they not be expected to re-analyse reality themselves? Why should it be us? The people elected us - and M r , Bourassa as well - on a federative program. to you we should change; But according despite the fact that we were elected by the people, we should perhaps slightly change our federalist outlook which, I repeat, was supported by a huge majority of the population, to please those who got a minority of the votes? 008541 �• Q: - 13 - No, I am trying to find out, however, whether a compromise could not be arrived at between the major trends in society, rather than have both sides make use of force. A: By all means. Federalism itself is a compromise. Q: There are various kinds of federalism. There isn't only Mr. Trudeau's kind, there could be others. A: You are perfectly right. and Mr. Douglas yet another. Mr. Stanfield offered another The simple fact is that their view of federalism was rejected by the people. Ours was accepted, Mr. Bourassa's was accepted, whereas the Union Nationale's was not. Therefore you cannot censure men for doing things the way they see them, when their views were approved by the people in the last elections. Q: But you were concerned - and perhaps we shall end on this - you yourself were concerned about the troubled state of the large American cities, for example. These troubles can be very serious even in the more prosperous cities. Therefore, there is not just one issue in large North American cities; the only ones that matter; bread and butter issues are not people perhaps want a human environment where they can find a friendly, familiar face, and all that. Is the search for a Quebec nationalism basically not that? A: There, at last, you find me in agreement with you. think that is it. I I think that is the root of the troubles in the United States, in Canada and in Quebec. And if you look at the Federal Government's program, at what has been done in the past two years, at what was announced just a few weeks ago at the beginning of the session, you will find a whole program specifically designed to give people more freedom in areas governed by the criminal code, such as parole, etc., to give people more social justice, not to mention the three hundred million set aside for housing, particularly for low-cost housing, in Quebec starting this year. of consumer protection, if pou : If you also look at the field "ok at almost anything in the Federal Government's legislative porogram, and I am not speaking about Mr. Bourassa's program, you will see that governments have begun to come to grips with these very real problems, these real crises involving 008542 �14 unemployment, social misery, pollution, mental turmoil, and overly repressive laws. Our entire Government has been oriented towards that for two years - and it still is - as is Mr. Bourassa's, I think. Therefore, I agree many times over that you are right; cause of disorder in our society. that is the That is why it is our intention at the present time, as the Government, not to stop governing because there is an FLQ. We intend to bring our laws up to date. consumer protection legislation was tabled in the House. Just yesterday, In a few days there will be other legislation, including Mr. Mackasey's amendments to the Unemployment Insurance Act to give people better protection. These are all extremely serious problems. be allowed to attack and solve them. But we must Setting off bombs will not get things done.

The Montreal daily "La Presse" reports that the cell consisted of six young men, ranging in age from 18 to 23. They will apparently be charged in two or three days! La Presse reports that they were arrested in a house in the centre of Montreal with arms and documents outlining how the FLQ might make contact with students of several CEGEPs. Police also found copies of the handbook The Urban Guerilla. Police described the cell as one contentrating on propaganda and having no links with other cells. HOO CB)© Justice Minister Choquette announced yesterday that charges would be laid against some of the detainees still being held in Quebec prisons, by the end of the week. These would probably include charges of treason and sedition he said. Interpol is reported "unhappy" over the revelation by Scotland Yard that the latter, on the request of Interpol, had sent bulletins to all U.K. police centres containing descriptions of six men sought in connection with the kidnappings and murder in Quebec. An Interpol spokesman described the procedure as " strictly precuationary".

George Hees today expressed the view that the FLQ had infiltrated the Quebec Provincial Police and that these infiltrators had been "tipping off" terrorists to raids. Mr.Hees , a former cabinet minister in the Difenbaker governnunnt added that this view is coming to be held by "people in Ottawa" as an explanation for the seeming inability of the police to uncover the kidnappers of Messrs. Cross and Laporte. 1200 CKAC Police report that the arsenal of arms nmcovered yesterday at St.Germain de Kamouraska was merely a private collection belonging to an employee of the military base at Valcartier. In the course of an interview in Hull today, Jean Louis Gagnon, Co-Chairman of the Commission on Bilingualism commented on the seeming inability of the police forces to cope with the present situation in Quebec, He pointed out that Provincial police forces wJare not trained to deal with this unprecedented situation. He also pointed out thaithe RCMP, because of the language factor and because of its limited understanding of Quebec politics is not in a position to render an efficient assistance to Quebec police forces.

SOURCE Q§oo U/OAR<s CKr.hi 03:30 5 novembre CLASSIFICATION CKCH - Sans c l a s s i f i c a t i o n Radio Un porte-parole du miniatlpe quebecois de la Justice a laisse entendre que les quelques 60 personnes encore detenues en vertu de la loi des mesures de guerre comparaftront en cour aujourd'hui ou demain au plus tard. Dea avocats du ministSre de la Justice completent actuellement les dossiers de chacune de ces personnes et k decider quelles accusations seront portees. 5 novembre 05:00 CJRC - Radio Sans classification A la suite d'une longue et patiente enquSte, des agents de la surete du Quebec accompagnes de plusieurs membres de la surete de Montreal ont procede hier matin a trois descentes surprises dans des residences de la rive sud en banlieue de Montreal. Au cours de ces raids les policiers ont procede a I'arrestation de deux personnes et a la saisie de certains papters. Hier soir cependant, on devait apprendre qu'un des deux jeunes gens apprehendes avait ete relSche; tandis que l'autre continuait a §tre interroge. Cette derniere personne, sans faire partie officiellement du Front de liberation du Quebec, aurait ete en contact suffisamment etroit avec Paul Rose pour en savoir assez long sur son compte. Les renseignements qu'il pourrait eventuellement fournir aux enquSteurs charges de cette affaire ainsi que le contenu des documents saisis chez lui pourraient, paralt-il, donner une piste qui ne manquerait pas d'interSt, d'autant plus que, jusqu'a maintenant, d'apres les declarations officielles de la police et du ministere de la Justice, on manque dramatiquement d'indices dans cette affaire. M. John Turner, ministre de la Justice, en presentant aux Communes le bill C-l8lf ou loi des pouvoirs d'urgence provisoire pour le maintien de I'ordre public, a explique les raisons de ce projet de loi. II a profite de son discours pour tomber a bras raccourcis contre ceux qui se sont opposes a cette promulgation et a defendu la conduite du Gouvernement d'avoir, a la requite du Quebec et de Montreal, agi de la fagon que l'on connait pour ecraser la menace que le FLQ fait peser sur les institutions democratiques du Canada. M. Turner a tenu a preciser sa pensee en mentionnant ceci: "Nous ne pouvons rester passif devant la violence". Par ailleurs, si l'on en juge par la reaction initiale des chefs des trois partis de l'opposition, le bill C-181 sera adopte' a l'unanimite qu'en deuxieme lecture. B'autre part, les dirigeants des trois grandes centrales du Quebec, CSN, FTQ et CUQ, ne se sont pas prononces encore sur ce projet de loi. Interroge a ce sujet, le president de la CSN, M. Marcel Pepin, a declare qu'il voulait consulter ses confreres des autres centrales, soit MM. Louis Laberge et Yvon Charbonneau, avant de faire des commentaires sur le projet de loi soumis au Parlement lundi dernier. Selon certains observateurs cependant, si les centrales syndicales sont logiques avec elles-me'me, elles condamneront ce nouveau projet de loi, puisque malgre certains adoucissements, il semble mettre en veilleuse certaines libertes civiles. r- F^F C"PMO) ~ CIDA c .PCOJ) DOPS MINISTER E DES GAF ,GC0P> .PDJ^ PDF/> PDS ) hPJ5<6 GFE PDA> PGP ?P(c AFFAIRES E X T 1.

Jean Hebert, President of the Union, says that the detention centre was not designed as a prison and should not be used as one. The Attorney General of Ontario, Athttr Wishart, said he was reasonably satisfied with the legislation before Parliament to replace the .ifar Measures Act. He is happy that unlawful association with an outlawed organization is more specifically defined, the provisions for detaining suspects have been modified, that people can't really be held without bail without specific orders from an Attorney General. He expressed reservation about the section of the Law which said that people could be apprehended for offences committed before or after the Act comes into effect. Mr. Wishart said he cannot foresee any situation in Ontario which would require measures under the Act as they are already covered by the criminal code. In Winnipeg, George Hees of the Conservative Party, questioned the effectiveness of the R.C.M.P. in dealing with the Laporte-Cross affair. Mr. Hees said that once the present crisis is over, the Federal Governement should investigate the methods used by the Police.

Et que pour ma part, les suggestions qu'il a faites, et j'ai cru la premiere fois que c'etait par irreflexion ou emporte par le mouvement de sa passion ou de son eloquence qu'il avait propose qu'on mette, sans proees, des presumes terroristes devant un peloton d'execution et qu'on en execute dix pour chaque otage retenu par les terroristes. J'ai dit que cela relevait non seulement de l'etat policier, que luinneme dit reprouver, mais que cela relevait de l'etat nazi dans toute son horreur et que c'est s'abaisser aux methodes monstrueuses qu'on veut justement combattre et je pense qu'il faut, meme si M.

Caouette et pour I'attitude, que je suis bien oblige d'appeler "fascisante" qu'il a montre dans tous ses discours et dans les accusations qu'il a formulees sans aucune sorte de fondement. Par exemple il a affirme a plusieurs reprises: le gouvernement connait les chefs du FLQ; bien, si le gouvernement connaissait les chefs du FLQ, il ne galoperait pas dans la nature, vous pouvez etre sur. Cette affirmation-la confine au ridicule, et le ridicule dans une periode penible comme celle que nous traversons, qa devient du tragique." Le cartel syndical CSN, FTQ, CEQ est sorti d'un mutisme de plusieurs jours pour reclamer une serie de modifications k la loi proposee pour remplacer celle des mesures de guerre. Le cartel demande entre autres au gouvernement de retirer les dispositions de cette loi ayant un effet retroactif, ( , ) les personnes detenues puis relachees sans accusation, de restreindre les pouvoirs d'arrestation et de perquisition sans mandat de meme que celui de detention d'une personne sans qu'il n'y ait eu d'accusation de porter, finalement d'appliquer des sanctions contre les autorites policieres qui enfreindront la loi des droits de I'homme. Soutenant que la nouvelle loi ressemble etrangement a l'ancienne, le porte-parole du cartel, M. Marcel Pepin, a precise que les modifications suggerees visent a eviter que cette legislation ne conduise a des difficultes politiques plus granaes encore. Interview Question; M. Pepin, est-ce qu'on peut parler ici d'un accord de principe avec nuances ou quoi? Pepin; II n'y a pas d'accord de principe sur la loi deposee, sur le bill Turner. Ce que nous disons; puisque le parlement, ou puisque le gouvernement semble croire qu'il dut adopter une telle loi, nous disons qu'a tout le moins s'il doit adopter une telle loi qu'il doit tenir compte des modifications que nous suggerons. Question:: M. Pepin, est-ce que le cartel syndical est toujours decide k aller de 1*avant avec son idee d'un programme d'urgence qui serait present£ au gouvernement? �- 3Pfpin: bien sur qu'a l'heure actuelle les gens du cartel syndical discute longuement ae ces priorites que nous devons mettre de l'avant. Nous savons que la session provinciale n'ouvre qus la 3emaine prochaine. Tout le monde realisera aussi que nous avons un congres de notre mouvement de la CSN qui commencera le 5 decembre.

Jean Hebert, President of tha Union, says that tha detention centre was not designed aa a prison and ehould not ba used aa one. The Attorney General of Ontario, Ather Wishart, said ha was reasonably satisfied with the legislation before Parliament to replace the War Measures Aet. He ie happy that unlawful association with an outlawed organisation la more specifically defined, the provisions for detaining suspects have been modified, that people can't really be held without bail without specifie orders from an Attorney General. He expressed reservation about tha section of tha Law which said that people could be apprehended for offences committed before or after the Aet comes Into effect. Mr. Wishart said he cannot foresee any situation in Ontario which would require measures under the Act ae they are already covered by the criminal code. In Winnipeg, George Hees of the Conservative Party, questioned the effectiveness of the R.C.M.P. in dealing with the Laporte-Cross affair. Mr. Hees said that once the present crisis is over, the Federal Governement ehould investigate the methods used by the Police. �cVI CBO -16:00 VI The first group of sixty-five persons still held under the War Measures Aet appeared ln Montreal Court today. So far, 23 people appeared in a apecial court room at Quebec Provincial Police Headquarters. The heaviest chargee came against the first five men. They were Robert Lemieux, Lawyer; Michel Chartrand, Labour Leader; Chailee Gagnon, formerly a Sociology Teacher of the University of Montreal; Pierre Vallieres, Author; and Jacques-Louis Langlois. They were all charged with seditious conspiracy against the Government of Canada. Lawyer Lemieux moved that tha charges be quashed as the proceedings ware irregular: They ware allowed to return after some IB others were charged, Michel Chartrand said that the judges and lawyers should be ashamed of the proceedings. All were given plead of not guilty and told mid-January would be the date of their trials. Bail waa denied. Of the 18 others arraigned, most* were charge with belonging to an illegal organization or with the illegal poeition of fire arms. Three women were amongst this group. Including Andre' Ferrati, a former R.I.N, member. On Monday in Montreal, three men ware arraigned and charged with conspiracy to steel machine guns and military uniforms from sn army base in St. John. On Tuesday, two couples were charged with distributing literature supporting the F.L.Q. Proceedings in Montreal have terminated for the day. �POP/L.J. Wilder/sm fa-K-TF&f* CONFIDENTIAL P » . B O * <*««• «» w o Gazette Story on Cross Photograph At 23:52 hours November 5, I took a call from a Mr. Cox of Canadian Preea who asked ma to comment on a story he said would be carried in thia morning's Montreal Gazette to the effect that "authorities" had received an envelope containing a photograph af Mr. Croaa. I replied that I had no ccmmenta ta make and when Cox asked whom else he might call I said that I could offer no suggestions without knowing the "authority" alleged to have received the envelope. 2. I called Mr. Roquet at 23:56 to inform him of my conversation with Cox. Mr. Roquet said he would call you and Mr. Francis and asked me to notify the RCMP in eaae there waa anything they could do to intervene with the Montreal Gazette. Mr. Roquet called me baek later to aay that ha had checked with Mr. Francis who considered it wae too lata to stop publication ef the story. 3. At 00:03 hours November 6, I informed tha RCMP (Antwistlo) af my conversation with Cox and asked that thia information be paaaed urgently to Montreal. At Mr. Roquet's request I called the RCMP again at 00:16 to say that we did aot intend to comment on the Gazette's story tojiight, that we anticipated an offieial nwiont would be forthcoming in the morning and to aak that wa be informed ef what response the Quebec police proposed to make to enquiries in the course of tha night. 4* I understand that when yen spoke to Mr. Roquet, you thought that an official response to the Gazette's story could wait until thia morning whan its full text would be available. Your inclination waa that the photograph still ehould not be made public and that the publie line ehould be that aomething had been roosted but that it contributed nothing new to the situation, in particular what waa received gave no indication that Mr. Cross is still alive. 5. I had received a call at 00:07 from Mr. McLean of the British High Comal «• 1cm who enquired if there waa any new developments*. I informed him then of the enquiry from. Cox and I called him baek at 00:25 to tell him that I understood the response which should be aade to a leak of the receipt of the photograph had been discussed yesterday and that I expected a etat ement would be made this morning. The nature of the statement would depend on the content of the Gazette's story. L.J. 008615 �POP INFORMATION DATE HR. l/J SOURCE /&F&V CLASSIFICATION BfiO /€flp/o LAJ(3C-fl^^ News Conference - IT. Choquette's Statement V/e received a communique which appears to be authentic. It is a request to a newspaper to have the communique published, and included in the communique was a photograph of Mr. Cross showing him playing a game of cards, and he appears to be sitting on a wooden box. The communique said that this is a photograph of Mr. Cross sitting on a case of dynamite and at the bottom there was his signature which appears to be authentic. Interview by Quebec City Reporter A. At this time I will examine the situation with the Director of Police. I am making, of course, the question public officially, I mean I will discuss the matter with the Director of Police as to letting the whole thing out. Q. When did this communique and picture come into your possession. A. I thought personally Wednesday night. Q. That would seem to indicate that as recently as this week Mr. Cross was alive and presumably well. A. Correct. If the photograph is not too old, it would seem to indicate that he is alive. Q. Is there any means of checking that to find out how long ago a picture was taken? A. I don't know. I will consult our experts at the Quebec Provincial Police to know whether it is possible to check this, but I would think that there is certainly a way. As far as I am concerned the photograph didn't seem to be too old. Q. Was there a signature of Mr. Cross anywhere? A. Yes. Q. And it was his signature? A. Yes, but as I said it can only appear to be his signature because as you know to check the handwriting of a person you need to have some text plus a signature. In this case we do not have any text, only the signature. Q. There appears to be some confusion about statements by a member of the RCMP today about an imminent arrest of certain FLQ leaders and certain of the people for whom you are looking right now. A. Yes. Q. What do you think of t h i s s o r t of news coming out? A. Well, newspaper men here a t the press conference I j u s t gave said t h a t an o f f i c e r of the RCMP had made a statement t h a t e i t h e r they had a r r e s t e d the leader of the FLQ or t h a t they were about to a r r e s t the ravishers of, or the abductors should I say, of e i t h e r Mr. Cross or Mr. l a p o r t e .

Then you feel that at this particular time of the crisis in Quebec, the Quebec news media should be co-operating with the police not to distort news or to give wrong news, but just to help the police, not to let the PLQ knov; too much about what you are up to. A. Well I think that we are entitled to aek for the co-operation cf the news media and the press. I mean, the news media and the press must give us voluntary co-operation to the authorities without this being co.. .so: in any way.

Testifying before the inquest into the death of Quebec Labour Minister Pierre Laporte, Bernard Lortie, self-confessed member of the cell which kidnapped Mr.Laporte revealed that his cell had had no contact with the cell which had earlier kidnapped British diplomat James Cross. Lortie described an attempted escape by the Quebec cabinet minister, which resulted in some injuries to Mr. Laporte. He asserted that he had bandaged the cuts creat efi in the scuffle. He then left the house on Armstrong Street where the cell was holding Mr.Laporte, leaving the latter to be watched by Jacques Rose and Francis Simard. He met Paul Rose and advised the latter of the new developments. Rose suggested he leave the house and take refuge with a family the name of which Lortie refused to divulge in order not to implicate them. He remained with this family for ten days, then left for the apartment where he was apprehended by the police. Lortie insisted that he had left the Armstrong street house at 6:30 on Friday-Mr. Laporte was murdered sometime on Saturday. �POP BULLETIN DATE HR.

Jacques avait rep'ii a ce moment un cheque de quelque six cents dollars du Canadien Rational ou il avait quitte son emploi. C'etait un cheque de retroactivite. Alors elle a d'autre part reconnu qu'elle avait signe il y a quelques jours soit le 21 octobre dernier, une declaration qu'elle a reprise en detail cet apresmidi. Elle a declare que Jacques avait demande d'aller aux Etats-Unis vers le 23 septembre et qu'il voulait que Mme Rose les accompagne. Ils sont done partis Jacques et Paul ainsi que Francis Simard et Jacques avait demande k Mme Rose de ne pas mentionner que Francis allait avec eux vers les EtatsUnis. Ils sont descensus lentement et arrStant a maints endroits, maintes villes dans le but, a-t-elle declare, de s'acheter des revolvers, Alors elle leur a demande pourquoi des revolvers et ils ont repondu parce que tous les gens qui demeureront dans la ville au Texas sont armes et nous devons faire comme eux, done nous devons nous munir de revolvers. Alors ils ont poursuivi leur voyage et une fois rendus au Texas ils ont entendu la declaration a. l'effet que M. Cross avait ete enleve. .-J..ors c'est a ce moment que Paul Rose se serait eclate en disant, "C'est tu pas smart ...., c'est tu paas niaiseux ils savent bien que le gouvernement ne marchera pas pour un homme comme 5a." Et aussitot, les quatre, e'est-a-dire, Paul, Jacques Rose, ainsi que Francis Simard et line Eose sont done revenus du Texas a toute vitesse.

NOTES PRISES PAR IE LEPORTER JOSE TEDOUX (CKVL-MTL) A L'ENQUETE SUR LA MORT DU MINISTRE PIERRE LAPORTE. TEMOIGNAGE DE BERNARD LORTIE, 7 MOVELDEE 1970. Nous rappelons, nous repetons que Pernard Lortie, un jeune homme de 1? ans, a 6ta apprehende hier soir et 1' adresse exacte de cette arrestation est possiblement Lc 3720 de la rue queen Harp- car isoi-meme, hier soir, j'etais sur La patrcuille de CKVL et j'ai entendu I'appel special lance par Les policies mais comae les mesures de guerre nous empechaient de prevenir et de devoiler toutes les arrestations ou tous les ddplacea.ents des policiers surtout avant que quelque chose se deroule. Cette arrestation s'est produite si rapidement qu'il. ncus a ste a ce moment-la impossible de confirmer ou d'infirmer s'il y avait oui ou non arrestation et c'est pxmr cette raison qu'hier soir sur Les ondes nous n'en avons pas parle. On peut dire ici toutefois que Le jeune homme, Bernard Lortie, avait quitte ia rue Armstrong, justement ou II. Laporte avait ete garde au 5 O 0 , Le samedi soir vers 5.30 psi, c'est-u.-dire a la tombee de la journee et qu'il ne sait pas exactement ce qui a pu se passer apres. On peut <galenient dire immediatement ici que c'est en tentant de se sauver de ~).a. chaxibre a coucher ou il avait ete garde pendant toute la semaine que M. Laporte s'etait infLige des biessures, blessures que lui-meme Bernard Lortie avait tente de bander du mieux possibie en dechirant des draps et en faisant des garots a. la sain. Justement en page quatre de toutes mes notes on dit ici que II. Laporte avait dit a Bernard Lortie, "Serre, ga fait pas mai, je te Le dirai si ga fait mad". On a connu ii y a queLques instants toutes les circonstances entourant la mort dramatique de M. Pierre Laporte. En effet, Le docteur Jean-Paul Vaicour a d'abord repete ce que nous savions deja par le coroner Lorrain Lapointe qui avait deciare que M. Laporte avait ete etrangie u. I'aide d'une chainette en or qu'il avait au cou et qui tenait une medaille scapulaire. Vint ensuite comme deuxieme temoin impoortant Bernard Lortie, 19 ans, qui est entre dans Le Box des accuses a 11:50 exactement pour en ressortir a midi et trente-cinq. II a relate toutes Iss circonstances qui se sont deroulees depuis 1959 au moment ou il a rencontre a la Maison du Pecheur en Gaspesie les Paul. Rose, Francis Simard et egalement Jacques Rose. C'est un jeune homme de 1? ans Bernard Lortie qui a dit ne pas avoir cl'occupation, ou aiors etre etudiant et avoir eu comme derniere adresse une r.aisoA d'appartements face au musee de cire a Montreal, done rue Ipueen Mary ou il a ete arrete vers sept heure trente hier soir. On lui a demande de temoigner mais ii a prefere lire Le texte de sa declaration faite aux poiiciers Raymond Belmarre et MarceL Ste-Marie de La Surete du Quebec. Ll. a recommence son recit en disant qu'il avait connu Rose en '6? et que depuis Lors il. s'etait reconnu membre du FLQ et formait done la ceLLule dite Chenier du Front de Liberation du Quebec. Quelques jours avant l'enlevement de M. Cross, lis s'etaient rencontres, mais encore k cette date, rien de pArecis n'avait eta determine dans La cellule Chenier du Front de Liberation du Puebec pour liberer les prisonniers dits poiitiques. ALors apores l'enlevement de M. Cross, comme on ne semblait pas suffisamment bouger rapidement a l.eur guise, cette cellule Chenier avait done pris sur elLe d'enlever un autre personnage politique.

Alors on a cueilli Jacques ou plutdt Bernard Lortie au 1525 de la rue RolandTerrier a Longueuil et c'est dans la Chevrolet '67 dont le numero de license 9J2A20, une Chevrolet grise, celle qui a precisement servi pour enlever M. Laporte, qu'on est alie cueillir Bernard Lortie a cet endroit pour decide du plan a venir. Cette voiture etait enregistree a un nom fictif, Paul Fournier, i.ais qui en definitive etait la voiture de Paul Rose. Vint ensuite la journee fatidique du samedi vers une heure de 1'apres-sadi. On avait decide a ce moment—la, le samedi qu'il s'agirait de M. laporte. .Ars Lortie fut designe pour se rendre face a. la Asidence que L'on reconnaissait, one L'on connaissait depuis un certain tenqos et ii a fait Le guet pendant plusieurs heures pour s'assurer de la presence de II. laporte. Et, vers quatre heures, on est venu le ramasser pour retourner rue Armstrong se maquiiLer, car on avait des perruques grises, 'Pes perruques biondes et lui-mgrne Lortie psortait un casque de l'armee avec lequel il se cachait, se camouflait et qui formait comme une cagoule. Jacques Rose a done oris la voiture, etait au volant, et il y avait egalement dans La voiture, Paul. Rose, Francis Simard, et Bernard Lortie. Is. Laporte etait toujours poresent et rendu sur Le boulevard Tascherea.u, environ mille ou deux milles pieds de la residence de II. laporte, lui, Tortie est sorti de la voiture pour aller telephoner a La raison pour bien s'assurer que M. laporte etait toujours la. Et c'est Mme Laporte qui a repondu, "Oui, il est a la raison, mais pas clans la maison meme, il joue a 1'exterieur. La conversation n'a pas ete plus longue, et a tout Le moins c'est tout ce que nous avons su. Le voyage s'est poursuivi et face a ia residence de II. Laporte, il. (Lortie) a raconte que c'est "lui qui avait attrap-p A. Lapoorte, ]Aar un bras et Paul Rose etait egalement sorti arme de fusil's mitrailleurs, des M-l charges de trente babies chacun. M. Laporte n'a offert aucune resistance et ensuite il (Lortie) a raconte que II. lapoorte fut couche au fond de la voiture entre Les deux banquettes et qu'il fut reconvert de denx impermeables bleu et beige. Francis Simard, a quitte Za voiture quelques instants plus tard pour aller porter le poremd.er communique. Ce premier communique qui fut. Livre, comme on sait, a des postes radiophoniques. Ce premier communique, on ne l'a pas ici, il n'en a psas ete autrement question aujourd'hui, et on a continue, les trois, de dire Lortie, vers la residence au 5 O 0 de La rue .rmstrong et il.s ont eu peur parce que deja, ils ont senti que Les rues et les routes etaient bloquees :;ais quand meme c'est seulement rendus a la base militaire que veritablement ils ont eu la frousse car, a cet endroit il y avait deux voitures de la Surete provinciate. Mais ils ont pu quand meme passer, sans doute etant moins nombreux clans La voiture puisque il y avait deja celui que j'ai nomme qui avait ete porte Francis Simard qui avait ete porte un communique. On oubliera Francis Simard du samedi jusqu'a mardi car ce n'est que mardi suivant que Francis Simard est revenu a la raison. C'est lortie qui, rendu au 5a30 de la rue Armstrong, qui est sorti de la voiture,pour aller ouvrir la porte de garage, rentrer dans La maison par l'ouverture qui avait ete pratiqm% Si on se rappelle tous les incidents, Le garage ne communiquait pas officiellement avec la maison. .-.lors on avait enfonce un mur ce qui permettait done a ce moment-la de pouvoir passer du garage a La maison par cette orifice, piors nous I'avons menotte a I'aide cle deux paires de menottes, parlant cle IP. Lapjorte, et couche sur -an Lit et au debut surtout, a-t-il dit, il. y avait une surveillance tres etroite, continuellement aupres de M. lapoorte. On lui a donne des sandwiches, le peu cle pAain qu'il. pr avait clans La raison et dans l'apres-midi du dimanche il ne restait rien a manger. Francis Simard est revenu Le mardi, voici une autre note que j'ai prise et dont je vous ai parle tout a 1'heure. Paul Rose, pour sa part, est parti Le mercredi apres-midi de la residence et n'est jamais revenu par la suite car avait-iL dit ii se sentait traquc et ne pouvait plus retourner a. cette maison. Bone du mercredi au samedi il y avait clans ia residence Les deja mentionnes, Francis Simard, Jacques Rose et Bernard Lortie. slors II. laporte a toujours ete menotte au lit et il y avait dans La maison deux cLavigrapheo, un gros et un petit qui etaient sur les armoires dans la cuisine. Rendu au vendredi ou au samedi apores-midi, toute la semaine il. n'y a rien eu d'anormal a. souLigner sauf, Le vendredi soir, ii y a eu un incendie . Si on se rappeile les incidents qui furent raoportes depuis L'enlevement cle II. laporte et depuis Le Acouverte de son cadavre. Le vendredi soir ii y avait eu un incendie au bout cle La rue Armstrong et L. venue de nombreux policiers, de pompiers et d'autres sirenes evidemment, avait enerve tous Les gens de cette residence et M. Laporte Lui-meme, et sans doute que II. lapjorte avait pense qu'on s'approchait, qu'on avait fouille tout simplement une des residences du secteur et avait pense que Les recherches aLlaient porter fruit enfin. 008662 �3 ^^ C'est Le samedi apres-midi qu'on a v a i t , Pi'abord tout au cours de ^p' semaine, Libere un peu plus II. lapoorte qui n ' e t a i t plus attache au l i t qu'avec une l a i s s e et occasionnellement au coirs de La semaine on le l i b e r a i t cle ses liens poour le f a i r e marcher dans La maison question de se detendre. Alors, dans l ' a p r e s - m i d i de samedi, vers deux h e i r e s , on ne peut pas p r e c i s e r exactement, on a entendu l e b r i s de v i t r e . Alors, a u s s i t o t , Jacques Rose s ' e s t p r e c i p i t e dans la chambre et a accroche Ii. lapoorte qui avait deja une p a r t i e du corps (de) passe par La v i t r e superieure. M. l a p o r t e n ' a pas t e n t e de s ' e n f u i r en enfongant la fenetre elu bas mais c e l l e du haut, cer c e l l e du bas i l y avait un moustiquaire. A.Lors on a panse, a - t - i l d i t , le mieux qu'on a pu les polaies de II. l a p o r t e . M. Lapoorte a d i t i c i a Lortie, "Serre Les g a r r o t s " parce q u ' i l avait des a r t e r e s et des veines (de) coupes et i l saignait quand meme assez abondamment. En faisant les pansements II. laporte avait dit*a L o r t i e , "Serre, ga f a i t pas mai, je t e Le d i r a i quand ca fera mai." Alors, conme cet incident e t a i t survenu l'apres-midi Lortie a d i t q u ' i l . f a l l a i t prevenir Paul Rose car ce semble bien §tre Paul Rose qui a i t ete Le chef cle c e t t e c e l l u l e "Chenier". Alors Jacques a d i t a l o r t i e " q u i t t e La maison et va rencontrer Rose"a Montreal. Alors l o r t i e a p r i s L'autobus Chambly, 1'autobus 8 Chambly Transport, et s ' e s t rendu a. la s t a t i o n du metro a e r r i - d e Montigny ou s i r La rue Perri i l a rencontre Paul Rose. Paul Rose a d i t : "Je n e retourne plus l a - b a s , je ne peux plus y alLer" et l o r t i e n ' e s t pas retourne a la maison non p l u s . Paul Rose a donne a l o r t i e nue adresse et i i s ' e s t rendu a c e t t e adresse ou id est r e s t e joendant une dizaine cle j o u r s . II. a nomme des noms, Jean Magnier de longueiL; je m'excuse s i les noms i c i , j ' a i m e mieux ne pas ies nommer car i l s poourraient e t r e faux. Ces noms sont venus assez rapidement dans sa d e c l a r a t i o n . J'aime autant ne pas Les nommer. Be toute facon, Lortie est a l i e s ' a b r i t e r chez des gens qui ont sans doute ete a r r e t e s depuis ou aiors Le seront incessamment. .Plors, L'avocat cle La Couronne (dont Le nom est Pe Yves F o r t i e r ) qui posait des questions, a demands: comment se f a i t i l que IP. lapor-fe e t a i t v§tu d'un chandail? Alors, apres s ' e t r e coupoe dans la f e n e t r e , i l s ont elu enlever l a chemise blanche q u ' i l n o r t a i t qui e t a i t tachae cle sang et on a pris un chandail noir qui se t r o u v a i t au 5630 de la rue Armstrong. On a raconte qu'il. (laporte) a v a i t clans ses poches cles cartes de c r e d i t et $60. B'aiLLeurs, au cours de La semaine, c ' e s t avec cet argent qu'on a r e u s s i a manger et IP. laporte a denande Lui-meme d'acheter cle La nourriture avec son argent. LL (Lortie) a d i t a i i l e u r s qu'a c e r t a i n s moments meme M. Laporte a v a i t les yeux continueliement bandes mais que par moment on l u i enlevait son bandeau afin q u ' i l puisse se reposer la vue et se detendre davantage. II. laporte a prepare Lui-meme Les communiques qui ont ete expedies par Le Front de Liberation du Quebec et i i n ' y a eu qu'un seul communique a un seul endroit ou i l y a eu une correction qui a etc f a i t e par les membres du Front de Liberation du Quebec. P. laporte avait e c r i t : Ps'attaqueront a. toutes Les classes de La society" et Le Front de Liberation a f a i t corriger c e t t e phrase pour " s ' a t t a q u e r o n t a d ' a u t r e s classes cle l a s o c i e t e " . I c i je reviens avec 1 ' i d e n t i f i c a t i o n , c ' e s t plutot comment Les individus e t a i e n t masques pour a l l e r procecler a l'enlevement de M. lapoorte. Francis Simard a v a i t une fausse moustache; Jacques P.ose a v a i t une oerruque g r i s e , genre Playboy, Paul Pose avait une perruque egalement, une perruque blonde t o u t e f o i s . Les M-l les deux m i t r a i l l e t t e s ont ete achetees sur l a rue Notre-Damme recemment; Les menottes, c ' e s t Bernard Lortie lui-meme qui Les a achetees dans Les 900 ( i l ne s a i t pas s i c ' e s t est ou ouest) Pe l a rue Notre-Dame; i l avait achete quatre paires de menottes. Bisons que M. laporte avait offert de payer Les repac qui ont cits expedies par une maison de bar-b-q de La r i v e sud dont on a f a i t deja. mention dans Les autres reportages. Paul Rose, Lorsqu'il a etc vu pour La derniere fois pear Lortie, a v a i t ies cheveu?; coupes et La barbe fraichement r a s e e . On d i t q u ' i l y avait dans L'autonobile, Lorsqu'ils sont a l l e s enlever M. l a p o r t e , les deux chargeurs des M-l qui e t a i e n t charges cle t r e n t e ball.es chacun et i l y a v a i t cinq ou s i x reserves Pie t r e n t e balLes dont 1-50 Dalles environ dans l'automobile. Une fois que l a v i t r e a ete cassee, est-ce que quelqu'un est s o r t i de La maison a ia connaissance de Lortie? I I d i t que oui; Francis est a l i e recupsrer l ' o r e i l l e r car, pour se proteger, M. Laporte a v a i t Lance L ' o r e i l l e r a bout cle bras pour pouvoir fracasser la fenetre et t e n t e r de se sauver. IL y avait une autre voiture dont on se s e r v a i t egalement a 1'endroit, une Chevelle, une Chevy I I blanche et c ' e s t Jacques Rose qui conduisait. 008663 �4 •* On a denande a Bernard Lortie: "Etes-vous un membre elu FL;?" Tl a repondu "oui". Les autres Paul Rose, Jacques Rose et Francis Simard? et encore la a-t-il repondu oui, mais en baibutiant seulement. Quel etait le but cle la ceLlule Chenier? B'appuyer ia cellule cle liberation, celle de il. Cross afin de precipiter Les choses. Connaisses-vous Marc Carbonneau? - Hon, je ne connais poas Marc Carbonneau. Je L'ai poeut-etre dlja vu mais je ne ie connais pas. Avez-vous discute longuement, avant l.'enleve.ment, de ce que vous deviez faire? Quelques jours seuiement et on sava.it ou demeurait II, Laporte parce qu'on avait vu son nom, M. Lapoorte, ecrit a ia fagade meme de sa residence." On a ensuite montre a Lortie des verres brises pour qu'il les identifie comme etant ceux de II. Laporte: Le porte-Lunettes, un etui, egaiement le poorte-cartes de ersdit, et encore la, ii a tout identifie. On Lui a demande ensuite comment Les communiques etaient envoyes par la cellule Chenier. C'etait Paul Rose qui se chargeait au debut jusqu'au mercredi d'aller poorter les communiques. "Quart' vous appeliez les postes racliophoniques, de quel endroit?
