Resolutions

At one of its recent, regular sessions, the municipal council of St. Pierre Broughton, in the county of Beauce, Quebec, adopted three resolutions which have been formulated and expounded by the Social Crediters of the Union of Electors.

The first two resolutions, proposed by Councillor Roland Cyr and seconded by Councillor Raymond Paquet, asked the federal government to double the Family Allowance rates and to grant the Old Age Pension to individuals 60 or over without any enquiry.

The third proposal, proposed by Councillor Raymond Lecourt and seconded by Councillor Fridolin Cloutier, requested the federal government to give the necessary instructions to the Bank of Canada so that all municipal public works and developments might by financed by loans free of interest rates.

These resolutions were originally brought to the attention of the municipal council by Mr. Leo Paquet, a Social Crediter of St. Pierre Broughton.

More than 540 municipalities in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick have adopted these resolutions and submitted them to the federal government in Ottawa.
