The NDP leader then said Prime Minister Trudeau had juggled unemployment figures in a search for excuses for the current seasonally-adjusted job less rate of 6.5 per cent. When he returned to the con tents of his motion, on which under the rules there was no vote, ho said he would not bother repeating them in his speech because they had been put forward on many previous occasions. USED TOP GUNS The government countered with a team of cabinet ministers and two parliamentary secretaries.

Hugh Faulkner (L Peterbor ough), parliamentary secretary to State Secretary Gerard Felle- tier, called Mr. Lewis motion opportunistic and irresponsible. He said Mr. Lewis had presented a broad set of attractive proposals. But, the NDP leader had attached no cost figure to his "large-scale program" to promote winter employment.

He had called for a reduction of taxes when the government's tax change till, currently at second reading in tile Commons, would remove a million people from the tax roles and reduce taxes for 4,700,000 people.
