It could mean that one could go back and look at the attendance which a person or citizen had been in attendance in ike meetings over past year. If that can be used the attendance of certain groups might be quite legal before this law becomes- effective so that one is doing something in an innocent way and then suddenly a law ispassed which says that is wrong and you shouldn't have done it. • ' • a It seems certainly that the person gets no warning, and to make a criminal offence out of something today that you did* when the law wasn't there six months ago seems to me a wrong principle.

He lived in a high-rise apartment building, travelled by public transport, facing many of the every-day problems of people who live in crowded areas. Today his tour took him to a couple of schools to discuss current problems like the F.L.Q. and the War Measures Act. Interviewer: Do you think that Quebec was in a state of apprehended revolution when the War Measures Act was proclaimed and, if so, how? R.S. : I don't know, my own position has been, particularly since we got the assurance about the temporary legislation, that we were not questioning the existence of the apprehended insurrection except to the extent that conflicting statements made by Ministers created confusion. Interviewer: I feel you and your government have not aided the Trudeau Government in combatting the F.L.Q. by focusing the problem on the War Measures Act. The problem was not the invocation of the War Measures Act but rather the injustices that the F.L.Q. had done. R.S. : Democracy, the democratic society is not simply law and order. Law and order is a very important aspect of society, of a democratic society but it is not the whole story and it is important to preserve this balance between freedom and security.

Concours de circonstances ou realite, la voix de M. Trudeau a clame plus fort, avec plus d'autorite, que celle de M. Bourassa. Les differences personnelles en sont responsables pour une part; le Premier Ministre federal manie avec plus de raaitrise l'art oratoire et il sait a fond utiliser les media electroniques. Sur ce point, le Premier Ministre de Quebec n'impressionne guere et la encore le ton declamatoire est peu convaincant. En second lieu, le Parlement d'Ottawa a joue un role fondamental dans la crise: proclamation de la Loi des Mesures de Guerre et vote d'une loi d'urgence pour remplacer la premiere. Reste l'armee dont on a, la encore, l'impression qu'elle a plus ete envoyee par Ottawa que mandee par Quebec. Pendant ce tempS--, M. Bourassa. jouait l'acteur solitaire, seconde de facon sporadique par M. Jerome Choquette. Mais le Parlement de Quebec restait en vacances. L'Assemblee nationale est demeuree la grande absente pendant que des evenements d'une exceptionnelle gravite se deroulaient. Faute d'avoir joue un role, l'impression s'est creee qu'elle n'en avait audun a jouer. Sur ce point, le gouvernement Robert Bourassa sort affaibli de la crise cependant que les themes qu'il avait identifies se sont estompes.' La lune de miel s'est terminee brutalement pour les liberaux, le Gouvernement devra rebatir son heritage. ^<S> i, CIDA DOPS GEU GEUE GEUW FIS (GLA?

We received one two days ago, just after Mr. Turner spoke, and what we did was try to see if we had reasonable proof that it was authentic and then we said that we had received a communique, we described it, and we said what was in it. We didnft read it word for word, if you want, to make absolutely clear that we were only relaying information to the public and not speaking on behalf of the FI/5, which we never dreamt of doing anyway. Q. Now, what about censorship? Do you feel that the Quebec Government has been applying indirect pressure to force a kind of censorship on news people in the province? A. I wouldn*t say that, but I would say that certain political figures have been trying to convince us that we ought to act in such and such a way which in fact meant censorship, which I called indirect censorship, which is much more dangerous than official censorship. If we»re told by the Minister, by the Government or if the Government passes a law according to which we are not allowed to speak about this, that or the other, everybody knows that they*re not being informed. Itfs less dangerous than when people think that they're being informed and they are not. SUSPECT IN KIDNAPFING OF PIERRE LAPORTE SEEN IN VIENNA A young man resembling one of the kidnappers of Pierre Laporte Has been spotted in Austria. An unnamed Canadian told police in Vienna he met a neatly dressed young man carrying a rucksack with a Canadian flag. He denied he was a Canadian, insisting he was Viennese but was unable to speak German and suddenly ran away. „ He said he might try to hitchhike to Budapest so Hungarian authorities and border police have been notified.

M. Bourassa a pretexte l'etat de crise actuelle au Quebec pour ne pas se rendre a Paris.

M. Bourassa a ete a New York au pires heures de l'affaire et Ottawa a pu agir sans sa precieuse personne. Ensuite va t'on croire que les urgentes questions de la guerre du Vietnam. Du conflit Sino-Sovietique, du conflit Arable et nombre d'autre question fort delicate force les veritable grands de ce monde a reste chez eux. C'est grands v£ritables eux auraient des raisons, et non pas des pretextes pour ne pas se rendre a Paris randre un dernier homage a I'un genis de l'histoire humaine et qui puis est un frangais. quand m@me. Mais le premier ministre du Quebec lui boulonne par les urgences de l'intendance derriere les ramparts d'une vieille capitale he peut se rendre dans la ville lumiere, pour ne pas deplaire sans doute a un grand frere. Cela nous apparait incroyable, cela nous apparait inadmissible et cela est, il est des jours ou il est g§nant d'etre Canadien Frangais, il est des jours ou il est humiliant d'Stre Quebegois.

Si l'on en juge par les appelles regus a notre salle de depdches beaucoup de quebecois trouvent le geste des deux premiers ministres pour le moins deplace comm l'affirmait d'abord hier dans ses antipropos le directeur des affaires publiqued a CKAC, Jean Levesque. II est ridicule et absurde de la part de M. Trudeau et Bourassa d'avoir refuse d'assister au funeraille du General De Gaulle. C'est ce qu'a declare Maitre Mario Beaulieu l'ancien ministre des finances du Quebec. M. Trudeau a-t-il ajoute, a toujours le temps d'aller faire du ski dans les Alpes ou de la pSche sous-marine dans les Antilles m§me quand des milliers de Canadiens sont en ch6mages. Mais il ne peut trouver le temps de rendre hommage a un des plus grands hommes de notre epoque. M. Beaulieu trouve d'ailleurs revoltant que M. Bourassa le premier ministre du seul etat fcanqais d'amerique, dit-il, adopte la meme attitude que Trudeau. De son cote le parti Quebecois a adopts une attitude semblable a celle de M. Beaulieu, le PQ est d'ailleurs represents a Paris, par le depute de Gouin, M. Louis Jauron. M&neden Angleterre, des voix s'elevent contre I'absence a Paris de M. Trudeau et Bourassa. Le Quotidien, The Guardian, Scrit ce matin que le premier ministre du Canada n'a ni pardonne* ou oublie les quatres mots lances par le General De Gaulle du balcon de 1'Hotel de Ville de Montreal en 1967. Le Guardian, cite egalement des sources proche de la R.C.M.P. voulant que M. Trudeau ait craint la presence a Paris, en grand nombre d'etudiants quebecois independentistes qui auraient pus le ouspiller.

The question i s at the root of an emergency debate which has been going on i n the Quebec n a t i o n a l assembly s i n c e Wednesday, but so f a r . not even Premier Robert Bourassa has given out a l l the information the skeptics want. The s7~year~old premier, prodded i n t o anger by P a r t i Quebecois criticism of his Liberal government,s a c t i o n s , delivered a 7l"minute speech Thursday to j u s t i f y what his government has done s i n c e Oct. 5, when B r i t i s h diplomat James Cross was kidnapped. But although he may have accorded a few debating points in his rebuttal to a strong challenge from Camille Laurin, the s e p a r a t i s t p a r t i Quebecois o f f i c i a l spokesman in the n a t i o n a l assembly, Mr. Bourassa disclosed few new f a c t s about the s i t u a t i o n . He i n s i s t e d t h a t the Quebec government had done everything possible to " s a v e the l i v e s of P i e r r e Laporte and James Cross and s t o p anarchy i n Quebec,,, Mr. Laporte was kidnapped Oct. 10 and found dead in the r.inuit-Qf_a-car i ^ SOURCE C P on waelr—later.. P _—__——— — ss^s»33fTT— Both the PQ and the Union Kationale party, which forms the o f f i c i a l Opposition in the io8~seat n a t i o n a l assembly, have been pressing the government to produce evidence to j u s t i f y i t s a c t i o n s , p a r t i c u l a r l y i t s c a l l to Ottawa f o r the army and invocation of the War Measures Act. However, the only d i s c l o s u r e Mr. Bourassa made Thursday was t h a t Luclen Saulnier, former Montreal executive committee chairman, gave the Quebec government informatitn upon which i t based i t s decision to make i t s appeal to Ottawa. Mr. Saulnier had repeated to the Quebec government a statement he had made a year e a r l i e r before a House of Commons committee t h a t Montreal police had come upon t e r r o r i s t plans f o r a f o u r ' s t e p campaign to c r e a t e d i s o r d e r leading to the overthrow of the government. The plan had called f o r v i t l e n t demonstrations, bombing a t t a c k s , kidnappings and the s e l e c t i v e a s s a s s i n a t i o n of public f i g u r e s . Mr. Bourassa said the f e a r t h a t the t e r r o r i s t Pront de Liberation du Quebec would carry out f u r t h e r kidnappings and the a s s a s s i n a t i o n s was one reason why he had asked the f e d e r a l government to t a k e , s p e c i a l measures. . " E i t h e r we did nothing or we used the only a v a i l a b l e means,** Mr. Bourassa s a i d . "The police forces needed those measures to put an aid to the t e r r o r i s t t h r e a t facing Quebec.>» Mr. Bourassa a l s o said the government may impose l i m i t s on what he called the "freedom of expression** in Quebec. "There is freedom of expression without l i m i t in Quebec, >» he s a i d . "Perhaps i t , s time to r e examine t h i s freedom of expression, or a t l e a s t i t s use.** He did not e l a b o r a t e . A Mr. Bourassa said the government waited u n t i l " t h e extreme limit** to avoid provoking the kidnappers and then, when i t could wait no longer to deal with the t e r r o r i s t t h r e a t , i t acted, f u l f i l l i n g i t s "pirimary r e s p o n s i b i l i t y * » to p r o t e c t Quebecers.

Davies, British High Commission, November 13 At 9*30 p»m. this evening Mr. Davies rang to enquire whether we were aware of an article in La Press on the front page of todays issue (copy attached) which alleged the local police failed to apprehend the Rose brothers and Francois Simard during their arrest of Bernard Lortie. Mr, Davies stated that he had been informed of a radio report on the 6:30 p.m. CBC Jkiglish network which claimed that the "police" had confirmed the veracity of the article. He asked whether we had any information on the matter whidi might enable him to advise London of the facts. I informed Mr. Davies that we had monitored the 6:00 p,m. and 6:30 p,m. radio and TV news stations in the Ottawa area and did not notice any reference to the article in question, however, we would look into the matter and call him back. After ten minutes of fruitlese searching for today's La Preos, I called Mr. Puddington at 9:40 p.m# in the hopes he might know where a copy might be found here. Ihe Parliamentary library was not open, but a copy was obtained from the Chateau Laurier. I spoke to Constable Berthelet of the RCMP who confirmed that he had oeen the article in question and read it to me, . He was unable to comment on the alleged police confirmation Mr. Davios mentioned to me. You recall that I spoke to you shortly after and you agreed that I should discuss the matter with the RCIQA I spoke to Constable Berthelet again who indicated that he was unable either to confirm or comment on the substance of the article, but suggested I might, if I wished, speak to Inspector Ferraris who assured me that his office's position was as outlined, i.e. they could not confirm or comment. Inspector Ferraris was not prepared to pursue the matter with the Quebec police agencies and I rang you back, We agreed that I would speak to Mr. Davies along the following lines: Neither we nor the RCMP were aware of a 6:30 p.m. radio news report ajledging police confirmation of the La Press article! That the Quebec police authorities had not apparently been in touch with the RCMP; That the RCfMP, considering their advisory capacity and the nature of the article, were not proposing to seek comment from Quebec police agencies and that we would continue to monitor media reports in the event the story was rebroadcast in this area. 2 008769 �* A ^ ' A C&rlT When I telephoned Mr. Davies he/spoke to someone hear him and said that the report had been seen on €88? television on cablevision from Montreal at 6:30 p.m. on a programme called "Hour Glass". I regretted that' we were not in a position to monitor the Montreal stations, but spoke to him as outlined above. He seemed to understand the position and indicated he would be watching the 11:00 p,m. news on CBOFT, Channel 9, Ottawa. You may know that CBO, Channel 4, and the CTV station on Channel 13 carried reports (attached) apparently drawn from the La Press article} similar references wereyheard on CBOFT, Channel 9. / io X 008770 �•.ri&SSSK&p&j' gouvernement touchant Ie Z.F: V*Sr BOURASSA en page A 6 "par Luciert RIVARD .;• AS'ti'enquete instituee afin de decouvrir 3 les circonstances entoufant la ^nort du ^'3ministre "du Travail'et de llmmigrap tiondu Quebec,' M.

Roquet inference: Rocquet/Skrabec Telecon November 13 Subject: Enquiry by Mr. E. Davies, British High Commission, Hovember 13 At 9:30 p.m. this evening Mr. Davies rang to enquire whether we were aware of an article in La Press on the front page of today's issue (copy attached) which alleged the local police failed to apprehend the Rose brothers and Francois Simard during their arrest of Bernard Lortie. Mr. Davies stated that he had been informed ot a radio report on the 6:30 pjta. CBC English network which claimed that the "police" had confirmed the veracity of the article. He asked whether we had any information on the matter which might enable him to advise London of the facts. I informed Mr. Davies that we had monitored the 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. radio and TV news stations in the Ottawa area and did not notice any reference to the article in question, however, we would look into the matter and call him back. After ten minutes of fruitless searching for today's La Press, I called Mr. Puddington at 9:40 p.ra# in the hopes he might know where a copy might be found hero. The Parliamentary Jdbrary was not open, but a copy was obtained from the Chateau Laurier. I spoke to Constable Berthelet of the RCMP who confirmed that he had seen the article in question and read it to mo. He was unable to comment on the alleged police confirmation Mr. Davios mentioned to me. You recall that I spoke to you shortly after and you agreed that I should discuss the matter with the RCIP. I spoke to Constable Berthelet again who indicated that he was unable either to confirm or comment on the substance of the article, but suggested I might, if I wished, speak to Inspector Ferraris who assured me tliat his officete position was as outlined, i.e. they could not confirm or comment. Inspector Ferraris was not prepared to pursue the matter with the Quebec police agencies and I rang you back. We agreed that I would speak to Mr. Davies along the following lines: Neither we nor the BCMP were aware of a 6:30 p.m. radio nows report alledging police confirmation of the La Press articlej That the Quebec police authorities had not apparently been in touch with the RCMP; That the RCMP, considering their advisory capacity and the nature of the article, were not proposing to seek comment from Quebec police agencies and that we would continue to monitor media reports in t he event the story was rebroadcast in this area. 2 008773 �aP CUH T When I telephoned Mr. Davies he/spoke to someone near him and said that the report had been seen on &SS% television on cablevision from Montreal at 6:30 p.m. on a programme called "Hour Glass". I regretted thaf we were not in a position to monitor the Montreal stations, but spoke to him as outlined above. He seemed to understand the position and indicated he would be watching the 11:00 p.m. news on CBOFT, Channel 9, Ottawa. Tou may know that CBO, Channel 4, and the CTV station on Channel 13 carried reports (attached) apparently drawn from the La Press article; similar references were/heard on CBOFT, Channel 9. not �PTjpiBUes •etrtttres, prutt^*.,!. ..<, ^^....^ -T&ftlMt• •^'gouvernement touchant ie "Z 3 ;V«lr BCURASSA en page A 6 ^ A f ^ f H p a r L u c i e n RIVARD • -. 3 L'enquete. instituee afin de decouvrir -. les circonstances entourant la r/iortdu 3 ministre du Travail'et de l'lmmigra• tion. du Quebec, "M.

A 008786 �POP BULLETIN DATE November 14, 1970 SOURCE CJOH 1830 CLASSIFICATION UNCLASSIFIED Former Prime Minister Lester Pearson has called the Cross - Laporte kidnappings a new dimension in violence on the part of the FLQ. Pearson ^ade the comment during the taping of the CTV program "Question Period" which will be broadcase tomorrow (November 15). Asked why the government had failed to outlaw the FLQ during the mid 1960Ts when the terrorists engaged in mailbox bombings and killings, (he replied) A. There have been many bombs and many killings, I don't know what you mean by many . There has been violence, violence of course in other parts of Canada, but there wasn't, at least to the knowledge of the government or to my knowledge, a conspiracy of organized violence which we have in the kidnapping of a diplomat and the kidnapping and murder of a cabinet minister. I think that is a little different, I think, a different dimension of violence. Q. You don't feel then charges of subversion might have been, laid against some of the members of the EEQ, there wouldn't have been any necessity for any War Measures Act or outlawing of the FLQ for those charges. A. Well the provincial authorities who were in charge of the administration of the law might have felt that but they didn't. And I donH admit the situation was bad enough or quite the same as a few weeks ago. Q. The royal commission on security was saying (as early) as mid 1968 that efforts ought to be made to infiltrate the FLQ and other subversive organizations by the security organization. I take it from that, that no more efforts have been made to infiltrate. A. Well, I can't answer that question, the police made efforts of this kind sometimes I'm not in a position to comment on the efforts they may or may not have made,to infiltrate what they considered to be subversive organizations. f(«^ GAF (Sco) CIDA MINISTERE DES A F F A I R E S PDG GFE PGP (ffij EXTERIEURES GEU GEUE GEUW CENTRE D'OPERATIONS CENTRE TEL. 5-6331 ECP ECD ECL ECT AFP APP APO D E P A R T M E N T OF EXTERNAL SRB.

Dans cette lettre, il formule cinq demandes au Barreau. On sait que Me Lemieux est presentement sequestre* en vertu de la Loi des Mesures de Guerre et qu'auparavant il avait servi d'intermediaire entre le Gouvernement du Quebec et les membres du FLQ. Des copies de sa lettre ont egalement ete envoyees a. Messieurs Trudeau et Bourassa de m©me 'qu'4 plusieurs avocats. Leb&tonnier du Barreau du Quebec, M. Cinq-Mars, nous explique maintenant I'attitude du Barreau face aux demandes de Me Lemieux. " Les cinq demandes contenues dans la photocopie de lettre de Me Lemieux peuvent se resumer comme suit : La premiere demande est d'exiger que le Barreau demande au Ministere cle3la Justice de lui accorder un cautionnement; la deuxieme que le Barreau demande qu'on cesse la procedure contre lui. Vous comprenez que,'a ce sujet-la, l'affaire etant (JS& J.t2*lfafi$, c'est-a-dire, sous le contrdle du pouvoir judiciaire, que le Barreau ne peut s'en occuper. Une autre demande est a 1'effet qu'il lui soit donne l'acces a. ses dossiers. Des dispositions completes ont et£ prises a cet effet, avec I'autorisation du Procureur en Chef de la Couronne ainsi que des autorites de la maison de detention. Une autre demande est a 1'effet que le Barreau interv ienne vigoureusement contre ce que Me Lemieux appelle la degradation et le raidissemeht de 1'administration de la justice du Quebec. Nous considerons qu'il appartient au Ministre de la Justice de porter les accusations qu'il croit devoir porter et qu'il devra, evidemment, en porter la responsabilite devant le public. La deniere demande est qu'un confrere ou un comite du Barreau soit nomme pour suivre l'affaire et voir au bon deroulement. Ceci estjieja fait et le Syndic du Barreau, ou son adjoint, asdiste a toutes les procfedures judlciaires-.- } .. :-GEUE GEUW O W Q ? ecp : ^#.-;FCNPP^P :ECD' 0MA OAD "N.STERE.DES AFFAIRES ^XTEmEURES PCENTRE D'OPERATIONS CENTRE 3 TEL. 5.63313 j££R> SO.

Asked why the government had failed to outlaw the FLQ during the mid 1960's when the terrorists engaged in mailbox bombings and killings, (he replied) A. There have been many bombs and many killings, I don't know what you mean by many . There has been violence, violence of course in other parts of Canada, but there wasn't, at least to the knowledge of the government or to my knowledge, a conspiracy of organized violence which we have in the kidnapping of a diplomat and the kidnapping and murder of a cabinet minister. I think that is a little different, I think, a different dimension of violence. Q. You don't feel then charges of subversion might have been, laid against some of the members of the FLQ, there wouldn't have been any necessity for any War Measures Act or outlawing of the FIX} for those charges* A. Well the provincial authorities who were in charge of the administration of the law might have felt that but they didn't. And I don't admit the situation was bad enough or quite the same as a few weeks ago. Q. The royal commission on security was saying (as early) as mid 1968 that efforts ought to be made to infiltrate the FLQ and other subversive organizations by the security organization. I take it from that, that no more efforts have been made to infiltrate. A. Well, I can't answer that question, the police made efforts of this kind sometimes I'm not in a position to comment on the efforts they may or may not have made,to infiltrate what they considered to be subversive organizations.

Bonjour, M. Morency Q. Mr. Bourassa, la semaine qui vient de se termine a ete une fois de plus lourde d*evenements de toute sorte mais si vous voulez nous allons atomes la conversation avec un sujet qui vous tiens a coeur, 1'economie, les emplois, et le gouvernement federal au cours de la semaine a publie des statistiques sur le chdmage dans notre pays e&t-ce que vous en avez pris connaisance et est-ce que vous pourriez nous en apporter des commentaires? A. Mime que quand j'etais depute, M. Morencie, Je jeudi.ou se donned des statistiques du chomage,etait toujours pour moi un jeudi important. Comme vous dites c'est un sujet qui m'interesse hautement et qui m'interesse autant plus depuis que je suis premier ministre parce que j'ai la responsabilite a la lumiere et dans le domaine de mes jurisdictions de combattre ce chdmage. J'ai constate evidemment comme on I'avait prevu que le chomage avait augmente de 6.3 a 6.8 et que 9a justifiait toute I'action necessaire de la part des autorites federales, provinciales, et d'autres autorites pour essayez de contenir" le ch6mage ce qui est plus une situation qui s'explique en raison spi de confoncture nord americainne • S'est que les gouvernements federales canadiens., le gouvernement americain , federal egalement, orf prit des mesures pour reduire le chomage, et des mesures dracomnierinsj, et il a£f resulte un ch6mage —. pour reduire 1'inflation, je m'excuse, il avait un tek taux d'inflation qui etait tres eleve-la lutte contre 1'inflation a ete arreted mais le prix a ete* un chSmage accrual. Ilfaut renverse*-la situation, il faut absolument prendre des mesures c'est pourquoi nous sommes en negotiations avec differentei autorites avec le capital^ prive,pour mettre en marche i des pro jets et redures surtout lea chomagea d'hiver,'' Quebec considere des projets important notamment ceux qui peuvent itre mis en chantier immediatement parce que les plans sont prits demaniere de reduire ce chomage au cours de l'hiver prochain. On sait qu'il y a plusieurs investissements qui ont ete annonce au cours du mois d'aout gr£ce a au* A certaines modification a la fisjtcalite ou axi»intentions physicaleg K H du gou �- 2 - gouvernement federal et ensuite des negociations qu'il y avait eu , il y a des projets d'un demi million de dollar^s qui ont ete annonce* et qui vont etre mis en marche mais le fait de ee s projets ne se fera pas sentir avant le printemps. Q. Est-ce que vous avez I'intention d'avance la realisation de 9 certain projet justement pour dindnuer le ch6mage d'hiver, si nous parlions des statistiques d'abord, on nous dit que $Sx 8.8$ de la main d'oeuvre au Canada etait en chdmage durant octobre et des prophetes que vous reconnaitrai peut-etre comme pessimiste avance que ca pourrait aller jusqu'a 15$ pour l'hiver, vous quest'ce que vous en pensez de ces predictions IS? A. Le taux du Quebec, M. Monrencie, c'est pas le taux du Canada on doit quand meme constater c'est le taux aussi clair que possible, vous avez denx taux lorsque qu'on donne les statistiques sur le chomage, un taux reelte c'est a dire pour le taux qui existe reellement a la mi*-octobre et un taux qui ne tient pas contre des variations s a i s o n i e r e s ; c ' e s t a d i r e que s i onjfe? parle de 15$ j ' e s p e r e que ca n'arrivera jamais et on va tout faire pour ne pas atteindre ce niveau, qui est completement inadmissible, c'est le taux qui pourrait arriver dans les mois ou il y a ce qu'on appelle du chomage saisdhier. Done le taux qui ne tient pas contre des variations aaisohieres est de 8.8 d'actuellement au Quebec, il etait de 8.9 le mois dernier. C'est done une baisse theorique ar^oute-sympathique tres petite mais au moins le chomage n'a pas augments du mois septembre au mois rt % octobre sur la base qui ne tient pas contre des variations saisonieres; et vous avez le taux reel3£, le taux qui augmente durant les mois d'hiver, etait de 6.3 au mois septembre, il est de 6.8 au mois d'octobre. Est-ce que je suis asse?clair entre les differences entre les deux taux de chomage qui sont toujours donneget ca cree certaine confusion dans la population. Q. Qui, est-ce que on peu l'appeler le chomage cronique celui de 8.8$ A. C'est le fait c'est le chomage disons qui est etabli sur une base qui f a i t pas cqnte que dans c e r t a i n mois, qui t i e n t conte de I'ensemble \9 QF des v a r i a t i o n s au cours d'un annee , alors la. £>a£ passe de &ribc 8.9 a 8.8; le 6.8 c'est le chdmage existant reellement a la mi* octobre, il y �-3- a une distinction qui est importante mais qui reverie dans l'occurence que le chomage sur une base annuelle ne s'est pas accrue'au Quebec de septembre a, octobre. Q. Bon, la nous nous avez dit tantdt que vous aviez deja des projets pour ameKte-lbrer ce taux mais au printemps prochain seulement, on a parle d'investissement, il a ete question d'investissement asse^ important m§me de 120 milliorga Baie Quaacour? est ce que c'est une rumeur ou est-ce que c'est ... I, A. Dans le secteur prive* il y a des projets comme je vous ai dipj dans le domaine publiee- toute_jFois on s'efforce actuellement . . . j'aurai pxjafaiax probablement des annonces, des declarations a faire a se sujet 14 la semaine prochaine.. de trouve^des projet* on est en negociation justement toute la journee de vendredi nous avons des travaux discuter cette question IA aussitot apres l'ajournement de la Chambre, il y Kxsxk a certainement des projets qui peuvent §tre mis en chantier immediatement. Dans le domaine prive il y a une a Ass. annonces qui sua ete faite vendredi, un investissement tres u important dans la region de Montreal a Longueil par la compagnie de United Aircraft de 40 millions qui va payer quelque 650 nouveuux emplois et c'est un investissement dans une industrie de pointe; vous me parlez de 1'investissement de Falcon Bridge a la baic 8anceur je ne puis pas commenter cette nouvelle, je ne veux commenter les investissements que lorsqu'il sont definitifs.et il y a eu tellement de deception dans le passe,on parlait d'investissement, negociation et choix et apres rien ne survenaitjalors^ans le cas de BaigjSaaoour lorsque la nouvelle sera certaine y aura une annonce qui sera faite. Q. Alors, pour le moment c'est United Aircraft et plus de 600 nouveaux emplois. A. 650 nouveaux emplois si vous permettez. Q. On a parle* aussi au cours de la semaine de la baisse du taux d'interet dansX les banques au Etats Unis>de meme au Canada, est-ce que c'est une bonne nouvelle, est-ce que ca peut aider a la relance de 1'economie ? A. Qui, ca peut certainement aider et c'est inevitable qu'il y ait une baisse de taux d'interet9 comme je disais au debut de 1'emission, il y a quand meme M B H X une stabiliteV dans les priS^ qu'on a pas connu depuis H longtemps done il est normals* 008799 �- 4•\Cafa. que on relance l'economie par la politique ju^ictCie.ce qu'on fera £ je suppose.par des travaux publiqees Kfcx plus substantielles et par la politique monetaire par une baisse de taux d'inter§t se relancer sont deux incitements ±xks. traditionelle pour XXXBSBT l'economie. Q. L'Assemblee Nationale, les deputes se sont retrouver au cours de la semaine, marKi c'etait le debut d'une autre session, voulezvous nous en parler jusqu'ici ce qui c'est passe des quatres premier jours? A. C'etait la reprise de la session, il y avait eu une session tres breve durant la crise pour 1'adoption de la loi sur 1'assurance sante #arce que nous voulions absolument faire(foisjentre"la vigueur le premier novembre et disons que le gouvernement devait faire face kji un debat d'urgence des le debut de la premiere journee; que le gouvernement n'avait aucunne objection bien au contraire, a debattre toute les questions et a acepte^a repondre au*questions de l'opposition sur la crise,qui n'est pas encore termineP et que nous venons de traverse^et c'a ete evidemment toute la semaine; consacre ' c'a ete, la semaine parlementaire a ete consacreea ce gre, le publique a peut-6tre constater qu'il y a eu evidemment des repetitions qui c'a ont ete dites, SK ete inevitable et j'avais prevu durant la crise que o je ne voyaife pas la necessite * d'allant justifier ensemble de convoquer A ce moment la l'assemblee nationale parce que il n#y avait pas de loi a adopter comme tellejjlorsqu'il a fallu convoquer l'anaaemblee nationale pour adopter les loie*s pour que se soit dans le domaine de la constitution de l'assurance sante, nous I'avons fait, mais faire un debat d'urgence sur la crise alors qu'il avait un ministre qui etait enleve a ce moment la , les paroles qui pouvait se prononce^ pouvait avoir une portee tragique, aurait gtre interpreted de toute sorte de fagon par les terroristes. et moi-meme durant le debat qui avait dure toute une journee sur la question d'assurance 5 �- 5- sante, j'avais discute^ cette question avec les chefs de partif et je l'ai dit a I'assemblee nationale, M. Bertrand et M. Samson d'aeord avec moi trouvait que il n'etait pas opportun de faire un debat, ^ ait le partie* quebecois lui avait propose que il y a un debat mais la motion avait ete rejete^ puisque tout les autres deputes trouvaient plus sage de ne pas provoque* ou disonfcs', mar nuire d'avantage a une situation extrement delicate par des debats parlementaires qui parfois peuvent tourner d'une facon imprevuv et causer dans _l±occuEent dans les circonstances qu'on traversait des effets extreriiment dangereux. Q. Alors on a pas eu tellement le temps d'etudie^les projets de loi qui ont ete aporte* a l'attention des deputes entre outre celui pour la protection des consomateurs, je pense bien qu'eventuellement on aura d'autre occasion d'en parler. A. C'est a dire la pendant toute la semaine ca ete le debat d'urgence J les quatre/ chefs de partie, ont donne^ leurs points de vues sur la question. Moi j'ai donne le point de vue, j'ai explique la situation du gouvernement notamment sur les prisoniers politiques. Les adversaires politiques du gouvernement ont d i t que saefc c ' e s t l e gouvernement federale* qui avait decide, j'ai donne la preuve concrete et certajjfne du contrairef parce que nous avions le appelle controle direcW sur 11 prisoniers qu'on prieoi?iers politiques^ alors que c'est seulement q^te 5 qui ont ete offert au FLQ/d'apres que ces 5 la etait eligible pour la liberation conditionelle'il y a donee' une preuve 14 que si le gouvernement avait voulu Ae- ceder d'avantage il aurait pu ceder sans avoir a demander la permission 4 qui que se sola. C'est que nous avons juge^ que si le gouvernement cedait au chanteur? autrement qu'en offrant un sauf-conduit au^ravisseurPet en recommandant la liberation QllAJ conditionelle a 5 FLQ qui etait eligible, le gouvernement ouvrait r\ la voie A l'anarchie . Evidemment le partij^ quebecois dit pourquoi pas ceder apres. ecraser le^ terroriste, mais c£ aurait ete extrement difficile d'ecraser le^ terroriste^parce que si vous cedez -ca veux dire que* apres il s'agit d'un autre enlevement pour forcer far logiquement le gouvernment 4 cedes. — POU Comment le partie' quebecois W \n. 008801 �- 6JZ pouvait-il guarantir comment ceux qui s'oppose a la these du gouvernement 0*. du Quebec et du gouvernement federal, pouvait-il guarantir qu'il n'y aurait pas eu d'autre enlevement par la suite, et 14 ±\ aurait dit'vous avez cedey jbou*. les prittsoniers dans le cas de M. Cross, dans le cas de M. Laporte, 14 il y a une autre vie,on a enleve que ca soit un C- " homme publique, un homme d'affaire ou un cultivateur-. ou on peut prendre nimporte quel citoyen du Quebec* et 14 faire chanter le gouvernement, c'est une vie humaine, vous avez cede pour les autres^ . ii donfi vous devez c£de pour lui egalement et 9a aurait 6te 20, 30, 40 prisoniers, alors 9a voulait dire une incitation . Une incitation 4 ceux qui sont des terroristes en puissance de devenir des terroristesrastifsparce qu'i]^aurait pu s'en tirer, il aurait pu penser que ik pouvait subir le meme sort que les prisoniers qui aurait pte en Cuba ou en Algerie ,' alors c'est ca qui est un point important dans toute cette affaire, c'est que cedant d'avantage, le gouvernement ouvrait la voie 4 l'anarchie et le partial quebecois n'a pas encore repondu Q. 4 cette question. Parlant toujours de ce que on a appele cette crise d'octobre il y a une question qui ne me parait pas encore tranche^ c'est celle du coup des services de l'armee 4 Quebec. iJarfc Pourtant M. Trudeau avait dit aux'Communes il y a quelque^ semainej deja que le Quebec avait paye pour ce service et est-ce que je me trompe en pensant que ee n'est pas regie ca? A. Bien, M. Trudeau a dit en «nterpretant strictement la loi que le Quebec allait paye^pour ee service mais par la suite au cours de la journee suivante il a dit que c'etait 14 un point de vue theorique que' avec la loi sur les mesures de guerre ce n'etait plus simplement une question d'application de la loi sur la defenge nationale., que 14 ca devenaitAl y avait un aspect nouveau dans la situation et que il etait certainment pret 4 negocier avec moi 14-dessusj j'ai eu plusieurs conversation^avec lui sur cette question et je suis tres, tres confiant que le L2uebec aura pas 4 debourser pour les services EJHBX de leurs frais de Quebec. 008802 �Q. Mais pour le moment la question n'est pas tranche? A. Elle n'est pas tranche^mais comme je vous dit 4 la suite des conversations que j'ai eu avec M. Trudeau, je suis tres confiant et lui-m§me arixfcxadmi$ que la loi sur les mesures de guerre justifiait dans une certaine mesure la position du gouvernement du Quebec puisque c'etait une mesure federale;alors je suis tres confiant que le Quebec n'aura pas 4 payer eant donne les circonstances qui vont entourer le recoup 4 1'armee dans la situation actuelle. Q. Et pendant ces negociations pendant c'est premieres journees 4 1'aHBulmble nationale de Quebec etait emuae* 4 Colombt'e-des-deux Eglises la depo#c1«mortelle du General De Gaulle. On en a parle beaucoup et je pense que plusieurs ont critique^ severement le fait que le Quebec n'etait pas represente par son premier ministre. Est-ce que vous voudriez nous en parler un peu? disons A. J'ai vu un ou deux editoriaux sur cette question, moi j'ai X H dit que s i s ' a v a i t ete en dtaaars d ' a u t r e circonstances j e me s e r a i s rendu personnellement au funerail*%du General De Gaulle comme chef du gouvernement quebecois et aussi parce que j'ai une tres grande admiration pour c e t ^ homme politique qui est un des plus xslustreg du siecle. Disons qu'il a donne* des legons de fierte* 4 tout les hommes politiques du monde par son attitude depuis trente ans.par la marque qu'il a imprim^4 la politique frangaise, 4 la politique europeenne/ et surtout 4 cause du raprochement entre le LQuebec et la LFrance auquel il a contribue* de la faccon que vous connaissez. mais c'est 4 le debut de la session, d'ailleur on l'a admijj, c'etait une session qu'on attendait depuis asse\ longtemps, le gouvernement A. devait exprime son point de vue sur l'une des crises les plus importantes qu'a subiis Quebec dupuis tres longtemps et il aurait fallu que le gouvernement retarde encorej c'etait quand m§me les journee^ principal^ dutiebat(etait/mercrediet jeudi alors le chef du gouvernment pouvait difficilement etre absent du Quebec alors qu'on debaftait cette crise, les raisons pour cette crise; d'ailleurj, ^'a ete reconnu par d'autre, Le chef du parlementaire du part ie* quebecos M. Camille Laurin a dit 4 la television a* un journaliste que il �- 8 - croyait que dans les circonstances ca se comprenait t r e s bien que j e r e s t e au Quebec, et c ' e s t avec grand r e g r e t que j ' a i dtl m'abstenir d ' a l l e r aif f uneraille^ e t corame j e i*a±x l ' a i d i t , en toute a u t r e ciriorastance j'y serais alj.e.

The admission follows a demand i i for an inquiry into Police handling of the Cross-Laporte cases...... i \ ....... Reports in some newspaper indicated that during the search '- of an apartment last week where Bernard Lortie was arrested, 3 wanted men hidden in a concealed wall space managed to escape with Police arms. The Director of the Quebec Provincial Police, Maurice St-Pierre denied today that the fugitives had managed to steal any arms. He could confirm that the 3 men had escaped after hiding in the apartment. The two men who have been searching the apartment for finger prints were from the identification section. One man was an unarmed civilian, the other carried a revolver which he took with him when he went lunch. The trio apparently stayed in the apartment for 24 hours waiting for Police to leave before fleeing through the rear entrance. Finger prints prove that the 3 men were Paul and Jacques Rose and Francis Simard, the trio that was implicated in the kidnapping'of Pierre Laporte by Bernard Lortie in testimony before an inquest.

N^/7 2g:00 CLASSIFICATION SOURCE CR<^ /JNALASAZlAALrf) CBC UNCLAS NOV 17, 1970 (23h00) The Quebec Minister of Justice, Jerome Choquette says that Prime Minister Trudeauts remarks about the efficiency of the Police in the FIQ, kidnappings came at a bad time. Mr. Trudeau speaking yesterday in the Commons, suggested study of improved police methods by the three levels of government. Mr. Choquette: " i„thought it wasn't too opportune because I feel that at the present time the morale of our forces, who have been giving a terrific effort for over a month and a half, merits to be sustained by aEU&nd the way at least in which Mr. Trudeau's statement was interpreted casts, let's say, some doubts on the adequacy of their work, llfcf course, we would all like success to come.but we are facing a different kind of criminality and I would not be the one to put the blame on the police forces themselves or the officers. I think maybe society as a whole didn't realize the importance of the criminal elements that we face. Therefore this should be more a lesson to us that v/e must study the nature of police work and police action to make it much more fruitful in the future.

A, gtfv^ yQ (Bazet) "The group calls itself the French Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoniers in Quebec". It was set up two years ago to protest against the handling by Quebec courts, of people accused of terrorist activity. In two years of existence the French committee has rallied the support of only 19 Frenchmen, including 7 lawyers, 5 professors and 3 writers. At least 1 member of the French committee is described by both French and Quebec sources here as a man of prestige. He is Jean-Marie Domitfiac, Director of the Catholic Magazine "Esprit". Mr. Dominac is also a member of the Board of Governors of the France - Quebec fouth Office, financed by the French and Quebec governments. He has a reputation in Paris as a supporter of the Separatist movement. The Secretary of the French committee for the defense of the socalled political prisoners is a 46 year-old lawyer from Paris, Mrs. Nicole Dreyfus. She explains the r61e of her committee: "....The committee doesnft take any position concerning the political situation in Quebec of the problem of nationality. Its work only has to do with the question of individual liberties, and we think that those liberties are presently in danger". The French committee tried to attract the attention of the Paris press by holding a news conference last week, but they got virtually no coverage - their press conference coincided with the death of General Charles de Gaulle. At the news conference Mrs. Dreyfus compared Canada»s War Measures Act with legislation used by the Greek military regime to jail its opposition. A small group of Quebec students has joined forces with the French committee to denounce what it describes as " a flagrant violation of civil liberties". One of the students is Georges Labelle, a 28 year old laviyer from Montreal, working on a doctorate at La Sorbonne: "This law in Canada...Every person who is near of the Marxist ideas can be put in jail under these stipulations".

"The call, almost a plea, came in a major statement by the Opposition Leader to the lawyers club at Osgoode Hall. In a smoke-filled convocation hall he said •Canadians can and should be fully informed*. In his words we owe it to ourselves as Canadians to get the facts on the extent of terrorism and the effectiveness of measures taken against it - facts of the reasons made by Government and the treatment of those detained. Hevsaid Canada had practically a government by rumour for several days and for that he blames the government.

M. Bourassa ne manque pes d'intelligence, loin de la. Mais celle-ci est tellement appliquee a chercher dans le manuel la reponse qui lui vaudra du maitre (en ^'occurrence, l'opinion publique) la note la plus elevee, qu'elle en oublie le contenu reel de la question posee. Favorise par un cadre de discussion assez commode, M. Bourassa est sorti indemne de sa rencontre avec les huit ou neuf invites du canal 10. Je serais etonne que ceux-ci aient tire quelque lumiere des reponses qu'ils ont regues. Les explications promises par le gouvernement semblaient devoir continuer a ce rythme (on pense aux discours des Choquette, des Hardy, des Bienvnue) jusqu'a ce qu'enfin, mardi soir, M. Claude Castonguay vienne, du cote ministeriel, jeter un peu de verite dans le debat. Le ministre de la sante et du bien-etre social a participe, comme ses collegues. aux graves decisions que l'on sait. On s'attendait, en consequence, a ce qu'il s'en porte solidaire. M. Castonguay devait s'acquitter dun devoir d'elementaire responsabilite. II l'a fait en trois brefs paragraphes qui ne laissent planer aucun doute quant a son attitude. Nous n'acceptons pas son diagnostic. Nous le respectons neanmoins, surtout quand il est presente et defendu avec la sobriete et la modestie qui est de mise dans les circonstances. M. Castonguay, soit dit en passant, n'a eclabousse personne. II ne s'est pas vante de mobiliser a sa rescousse tous ies journaux du monde. II n'a pas cherche a discrediter les dissidents. Cela. loin d'affaibhr sa position, confere a celle-ci une certaine elevation dont on avait perdu toute trace dans les propos fleuves de ses collegues. Mais la n'etait pas, de toute rnaniere, l'essentiel de 1'intervention de M. Castonguay. Tres tot, le ministre a voulu prendre ses distances par rapport aux evenements recents. Oubliant les causes exterieures des evenements qui ont secoue le Quebec, il a voulu passer a 1'etude des causes lointaines et profondes. D a dit a ce sujet des verites qu'on ne saurait trop souligner La violence a connu au Quebec, ces derniers temps, des manifestations d'une brutalite inedite.
