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

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.
