Original Toronto Star caption: Parliamentarians sweat under glare of TV. Members of the House of Commons sit today beneath brilliant glare of TV lights during opening ceremonies of the 28th Parliament. Many members complained of the heat; and one member remarked. This is what we have to look forward to if television covers the daily sessions. Two-hour coverage of the opening was provided by CBC network. CTV; which planned to cover opening also; balked at $6;000 price charged by CBC; and was refused place for its won cameras.
