They dealt only with the union incident. At the same time, Mr. Bennett said: “The government of B.C. is determined to pro- fect the rights of privacy of all citizens.” But he didn’t put it into writing. The Attorney-General hinted that the inquiry might lead to a new law protect- ing privacy. That wasn’t in writing either. Now Chief Justice. Wilson has thrown aut the Royal Commission that was invest- igating the union bugging. incident. He was right to do so. He was perfectly correct in deciding not to take note of anything the provincial government did not put in writ- ing... Races ig ; i ae Aftér redding the terms of reference — which are the only documents that bind the Royal Commission; political speeches have no -bearing.— he decided that the government wasn’t really out to protect the public interest. “There is not the slightest sugges- ‘tion,” he said, “that any matter of public concern, such as, for instance, the undesir- ‘ability of invasions of privacy. by. the use ‘of electronic devices, is being ig VICTORIA REPORT with a view to controlling such matters by: legislation.” The way the hearing was ‘going, the union that complained its privacy was be- ing invaded was about to suffer an even greater invasion. Recordings of a private meeting were about to be made public. This can hardly be condoned, if the gov- ernment’s objective was solely to protect the public from electronic eavesdropping. All that need be established for such a purpose is that snoopers did listen in to a private meeting. Ig the people responsible for listen- ing in claim they did it in the national interest, or to guard against subversion, then perhaps the royal commissioner should listen to the tapes privately to de- cide if the claim is valid. But that gets into a completely different area of philoso- phy and morality. ; The important thing now is to ensure that the public interest, as opposed to any partisan. political interest of the govern- ment, is protected: GM ato Ou The new attempt by thé. cabinét to define the duties of the Sargent Comuiis- sion is much nearer the matk thin the earlier one. - wet eee that a personal desire for: self improvements was selfish and non-social.’ In every large city I saw lating Styles.
