Finance Minister Gérard-D Lévesque announced in the National Assembly that he has asked the Solicitor-General to launch a full provincial police investigation into the circumstances surrounding the leak. The decision to table the $30-billion budget was made soon after the Quebec City reporter for CFCF, the Montreal affiliate of the CTV network, announced details on the 6 p.m. news. Premier Robert Bourassa was at Meech Lake, Que., attending constitutional discussions and Ronald Poupart, spokesman for the Premier, said Mr. Lévesque would not resign over the incident. "Mr. Lévesque said, 'I can resign or can present a budget at 9 o'clock tonight,' and Mr. Bourassa said, 'OK, you can present your budget at o'clock tonight, Mr. Poupart said. Ghislain Fortin, the Finance Minister's special adviser, told reporters last night that full budget details had to be divulged because premature release could affect stock exchange trading and business. The budget was to have been released next Thursday. The major provisions of the budget, which became effective at midnight last night, include spending of 0.08-billion on revenue of 27.68-billion for a projected deficit for fiscal 1987-88 of $2.4-billion, down from the predicted $2 7-billion; $100million in fiscal advantages to promote investment in research and development: and $180-million in tax breaks for low-Income families. Reporter Ralph Noseworthy said he obtained his information from "reliable sources" and was working from "solid information.* He said he had no budget documents. Steve Pownall, CFCF assistant news director, said the information but not a copy of the document due at the Government printer yesterday was obtained in "recent days. He would not identify the source of the leak. Retired Senator Eugene Forsey. one of the country's leading constitutional experts, said he had no knowledge of Canadian legislature ever rushing to table budget. "It's the sort of sensational thing that would have gotten into the books,' he said in Ottawa, He called the Government response "very sensible way of handling the thing. Spending measures will include $200-million over the next two years for road safety, including $60-million this year; $33-million in current spending for the Health and Social Services Ministry and $40-million this year in additional financial resources for universities.

'Even the Russians paid the prevailing wages when they were building here,' said Richard Drake business manager for Local 100 of the Sheet Metal Workers International Association. 'But the Canadian Government did not have the courtesy to ask that the prevailing rate be paid. Most of the work on the $40-million (U.S.) project is being done by unionized workers, but a few nonunion subcontractors are on the job, including one employing sheet metal workers, who install the heating and air conditioning ducts. Several of Mr. Drake's members have been picketing the site of the new embassy on Pennsy Ivania Avenue several blocks from the White House daily since January but there has been no disruption of the construction work. 'We'd like to have a nation-wide boycott on vacations in Canada, Mr. Drake said, "and we' going to start picketing soon against Canada at the UN building in New York. He said the non-union workers are being paid between $6 and $12 an hour compared with the union wage and benefit package of $21 an hour.

At the urging of his prison counsellors. Mr. Sauvé applied for an escorted pass to attend the graduation ceremony on the Queen's campus. His application had been approved by the Kingston police force, Mr. Sauvé was told. and he had been assured by prison officials that the pass would almost certainly be granted. But last week Mr. Sauvé learned that his application had been denied Prison spokesmen refused to give details of their reasons for the decision and, like all federal prisoners. Mr. Sauvé has no right to access to the evidence against him. Dennis Hutchinson, an assistant warden at Collins Bay, said yesterday that the staff and prisoners at the federal medium-securi ty institution are "very proud of inmate Sauvé's accomplishments, and he praised the former biker's record in prison. But an internal review committee has determined that it would be "just too early" to grant Mr. Sauvé, who has served eight years of his sentence, even brief escorted absence, Mr. Hutchinson added. The decision follows by two months launching by federal Solicitor-General James Kelleher of an ambitious new prison literacy program designed to promote and the PERMISSION Page A2 Two views emerge in farm debate BY HUGH WINSOR The Globe and Mail OTTAWA The emergency debate on financial problems of Canadian grain farmers crystallized yesterday into two opposing views of the state of Prairie agriculture - and gave the Government a chance to announce more aid.
