There is no doubt the incidents reported are true and it is possible that more of these regretable incidents will happen. I am sure that in this part of the province, for those who know Bob personally, ne nee s no e ence. He is, without doubt, a very compassionate and understanding man and feels a very great responsibility for those people who come under his jurisdiction. Under our political system the minister in charge of a department of the gov’t has the.ultimate responsibility of how that department is operated. I agree with this principle. This same principle applies to a farmer whose hirejman, driving e armer s truck, causes an accident. The farmer is legally responsible for damages. But I feel it is unfair to say that he, and he alone is totally responsible for the accident. Bob Bogle has approximately 8,000 people working in the Department of Social ervices and Community Health. Many of these people make several decisions each day that affect people under their care, and there is no doubt that some of these decisions are questionable. But on the whole, these employees do a very credible job in a very demanding field. I won't mention any names, but I feel that in my constituency, the Raymond Home is a very well run institution, with a dedicated staff and there are many more in the province like it. ' Large institutions for wards of the government are, by far, the most efficient way to look after these people, from a government point of view. In an institution t. ere is far better control of staff and procedure; and generally speaking, the support facilities are better. However, it has a devastating effect on those who are institutionalized. This is especially true of the younger people. In many cases it s very dirficult tor those who are able to enter normal society, to make the adjust­ment . . The government has made the decision to put as many of these people as possible nto.different programs. These systems are working well, however they put a great strain on the administrative staff, in their position of supervision. There may be regretable incidents, but hopefully they will be few, none at all would be better. Our society is.changing rapidly. Many in my generation feel it is breaking down. People are demanding rights but are not prepared to accept the responsibilities that go with those rights. The government cannot change the social attitudes of the public. H°wever, they are responsible for the results of these attitudes. The opposition has called.for Bob Bogie’s resignation. I am sure that if Bob felt he could change the direction that our society is going by resigning, he would glady do so. Bob has handled the very unfair criticism very well. His family has been under a great.deal of strain. I can assure you that the Premier and the rest of the Pro­gressive Conservative Caucus supports Bob Bogle 100%. -Johnny Thompson, MLA- (california) .
