His main claim to fame was
his 12-hour speech during

long before that time, Phillips
was making long speeches. Last
fall, when the print media
liquor and tobacco ad ban was
being lifted, he railed away for
two hours at a time about the
evils of such advertising, while
a Havana cigar (or was it
Dutch) sat on his desk: in full

When Mr. Williams replied
that this is “part of an on-going

Smith suggested the govern-
ment had gone into the deal
with no knowledge of the sums

12-hour speech’ is actually
helping to make B.C. a better
place to live. ~

The South Peace member
is a Dawson Creek car dealer.
He was the sitting Socred for
several years before 1969, but
was replaced in nomination by
Don Marshall, a quiet, serious
methodical fellow who crossed
the floor to the Conservatives
last. spring. Marshall went
down the tube by only ‘a thin
margin when Phillips ran for
the Socreds again last summer.

Some might rate Phillips
asa liability to the Socreds. But
more and more he is emerging
as a key hole-plugger. Each
party must hold up its end in
debate, and the party whips
and caucus chairmen work out |
strategy bearing in mind each

member's strong points.

And it just happens that

among the Socreds, Phillips’ +

strong. point is holding the
floor.. For a short, pungent
speech, the official opposition
turns to Bob McClelland. For.a
dramatic expose of some -
government members's faults,
real or alleged, Jim Chabot gets
the nod. For the facts and
figures stuff it is Ed Smith and
for a carefully worded query
during question period it is
either Newell Morrison, Alex
Fraser or Frank Richter..

mock outrage. That is an
effective time-consuming tech-
nique, because all he needs is

benches and he begins to

meant to show that the member
appeared to be what he had
called him and on and on.

The favorite trick of
members across the floor is to
try to get Phillips to sit down,
Often he will ask a rhetorical
question and the premier will
call out “sit down and I will
explain.it to you".

he point, naturally, is

that if Phillips sits down, he
loses his place in the debate —a
tactical error which hinders his
party's job, .

Attorney-general Alex
Macdonald suggested that
“Phillibuster” costs. the tax-

payer $1,000 an hour when he is :

it costs to keep the legislature

But behind the wind there
is a purpose.: Phillips is a
barometer and the experienced
political eyes in the govern-
ment can read him and’ his:
actions for certain segments of
public opinion. Phillips’, 12-hour
speech is probably, one. reason
(butonly one), why. Bill 62 was
so extensively amended at the
committee stage.
