Asked as he entered the weekly meetin; f Conservative ‘MPs and senators if his challenge had been a throw-away line, Mulroney replied: “It was serious.” But later under questioning from reporters Mulrone y appeared to stress the proposal was made “under the express condition that Mr. Turner get up immediately (in the Commons) to give his approval. “There was a clear and clean proposition on the ta! and Mr. Turner refused.” enue Mulroney was referring to an exchange in the Commons on Tuesday when New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent told “Mulroney the NDP would back government moves to abolish what called “this abomi i Attacks by Conservatives and New Democrats on the Liberal-dominated Senate were brought about by last month's stalemate in the upper chamber over a $19.3-billion borrowing bill that had been approved by the Com necessary number of provinees would go along with plans limiting the powers of the Senate. Most have said that if Mulroney is serious about abolishing the Senate, he should “cut-out the diversionary tactics, bring in what he has in mind, tell us if he has the consent of the provinces — then we'll look at it seriously.” Today, Turner said that without provincial consent it appears Mulroney is trying a “bluff.” But Turner repeated that he would look at any proposal presented by the government.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Michael Wilson contended the stalling tactics cost taxpayers at least $10 million in added borrowing costs.

In a survey of the rapid rise in social spending since 1960, the Paris-based OECD warned “significant con- straint” will be needed if “the essential features of the wel- fare state can be preserved through to 1990.” As a proportion of total government outlays, Canada spends less than average on social welfare. Among the seven major non-Communist economies, Britain, France, spend a bigger chunk of their budgets on social welfare than Canada. Only Japan and the United States, which has no national health insurance plan, allocate a smaller slice of government spending to social welfare. In 1960, social welfare pro- grams accounted for 12.1 per cent of government spending in Canada.
