SPENT OVER $130,000

Ministers spruced up offices

By VIC PARSONS

CABINET MINISTERS spent $131,158.90 having their
Parliament Hill offices renovated during the first six months
of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's government:

A recently tabled response to a written question in the
Commons from George Henderson, Liberal MP for Prince
Edward Island's Egmont riding, shows -that 25 of then-40
ministers decided to spend public funds to have their offices
refurbished in the manner to which they'd like to become
accustomed. Since the question was asked, former defence
minister Robert Coates has‘left the cabinet.

Minister Don Mazawkowski, who held his costs to $463;
Fisheries Minister John Fraser, with a tab of $495, and
Veterans Affairs Minister George Hees, whose bill totalled
$541.84.

Coates, who left the cabinet after a news story surfaced
about a late evening drinking session with a stripper in a
sleazy West German bar, spent $1,138.44 on office
renovations before the end of his short-lived cabinet career.

OUT OF LITTLE acorns, big oak trees grow.

A faux pas by reporter Bruce Little of the
Toronto-based Globe and Mail seems to have stirred the
Senate into a modicum of action on the issue of recording and

Capital Notebook

The total does not include the $63,609 that Mulroney
spent on his own Parliament Hill office and the $100,000 for
work in the Langevin Block, across the street from the
Parliament Buildings, which houses the main offices of the
prime minister. Those amounts were reported earlier.

Health Minister Jake Epp, the affable Manitoban and
veteran of Joe Clark’s cabinet, was the big spender on the
latest list, committing $22,327.24 to get his office in the
imposing Confederation Building redone. Oddly enough,
most of Epp’s staff work out of the departmental office about
three kilometres away

A newcomer to Parliament, Mines Minister Bob Layton,
a mechanical engineer from Lachine, Que., spent the second
largest sum — $17,712. He was followed by Sports Minister
Otto Jelinek, the Toronto-area former world champion
skater, who skated away with $13,496.

Among the more frugal spenders were Transport

Last Wednesday, Quebec ‘Senator Fernand Leblane had
a motion approved that calls upon the Senate's rules
committee to consider the issue of recording and
broadcasting its committees. From the remarks made by
some senators, it became apparent that there could be
discussion of coverage of Parliament's upper house as well.

The affair began recently when Little, who has been
working for The Globe since last summer, was found tape-
recording a Senate finance committee meeting and Senator
Eymard Corbin raised a point of order bringing it to the
committee's attention. Little explained he was unaware of
any prohibition and quickly apologized. Some senators
expressed indignation, but others did not treat the matter
too seriously.

Leblanc said Wednesday he wanted to raise two issues
— whether it is necessary to request permission to record
Senate committees and whether the committees have
authority to give that permission. “It seems that at the
present time there is no unanimity on the subject.”

Corbin, from New Brunswick, said he thought the issue
of live radio and television broadcasts of Senate proceedings
should be investigated as well.

Corbin grumbled that the Senate only gets media
coverage when there is a crisis, being largely ignored the
rest of the time.

“After everything has died down, we are completely
forgotten and our future is left in the hands of unknown
oifficials,” complained Corbin, a former MP. “What is lacking
in this institution, it seems to me, is a more direct link with
the public, for it has a very fuzzy perception of the role,
function and traditional heritage of the Senate.”

Senator John Godfrey of Ontario agreed that both radio
and television broadcasting should be looked at, and pointed
out that committee hearings on a marijuana bill were once

WHAT A VIEW . . . Snow-capped mountains provide a background for a

rural neighborhood scene in Castlegar.

OTTAWA (CP) — The lovable, rumpled gumshoe of
the past may soon have to hang up his raincoat for good —
his dogged sleuthing outdated by an arsenal of high-tech
gadgetry and sophisticated studies.

In the pursuit of mean Mr. Big, traditional detective
methods are being replaced by such equipment and
methods as voice or stress analysers, chemical dope
sniffers and compliance psychology.

In this world of high ry law
enforcement, Canadian companies have quietly become
leaders and the federal government is also playing a part

Government studies are looking into everything
from bomb suits and body armor to why some firms obey
regulations and others ignore them — that's compliance
psychology. Other experts are investigating the
statistical risk of parole and why people turn to
prostitution.

WAIT OR GO

Devices are being developed in RCMP labs that will
analyse voices, to identify suspects or interpret stress
levels in hostage-takers and help police tactical squads
decide whether to wait out a desperado or go in and get
him by force.

In this high-tech approach to crime-fighting, most of
the big money is spent on hardware. The departments of
the solicitor-general and justice between them spent
$964,000 on studies between April 1, 1984, and Jan. 31,
1985, not including police-related contracts let through
other departments or agencies.

Perhaps one of the most powerful tools being
developed in Canada for crime-fighting is a $1-million

system that will make it easier for police to detect
contraband drugs, arms or explosives quickly, with a high
degree of certainty and without the smugglers being
tipped off.

This super dope-sniffer, the Aromic system, is under ©
development by Sciex Ltd. of Thornhill, Ont., and British
Aerospace, which hope to sell the machines to major
airports. Operated by a policeman with only basic
chemistry training, Aromic can detect in the air “a few §
tens of parts per trillion,” of contraband substances, says
Bori Shushan, a technical marketing specialist at Sciex

HAS SUPER NOSE

Humans can detect a few parts per billion of certain
acrid substances and a German shepherd has a nose
roughly 100 times more sensitive than a person. But
Aromic will analyse tiny amounts of air from a freight
container and within four minutes reveal any contraband

The machine represents a novel application of
well-known technology, a mass spectrometer which
detects alkaloids, the main substance in most illegal
drugs or nitrates, central ingredients in explosives.

Shushan said Aromic will be used in tandem with a
“mega electron-volt X-ray” which will be able to see into
metal containers as they pass through freight areas in
airports, train stations, bus terminals or transport yards.

Canadian companies are also developing new devices
that can save police lives. Remote-control robot
bomb-detectors equipped with video cameras can move
explosives devices to safe detonation areas, or carry a
shotgun to detonate hard-to-get-at or booby-trapped
bombs.
