Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. Gregg:

I feel that on the whole the arrangement that has been worked out with the contractors by the regional unemployment office in British Columbia is a very equitable one indeed, and since both terminals of the pipe line are in United States territory I think the fact that a few welders are to be used in the Canadian section is not unfair.

Mr. G. K. Fraser (Peterborough):

I should like to address a question to the Minister of Trade and Commerce under whose department Crown Assets Disposal Corporation is

administered. Has the government sold the old stone customs house building at the corner of George and Charlotte streets in Peterborough? If so, to whom was it sold?

I have made inquiries of Crown Assets Disposal Corporation. I am told that this building has not been declared surplus, and it was the opinion of the officer with whom I discussed the matter that it is not likely to be declared surplus.

Mr. Fraser (Peterborough):

I should like to ask a supplementary question. Since the minister mentioned that the building in Peterborough is not likely to be sold, can he tell us what department of government is going to use it?

If the building is not going to be sold by the government, then some department is going to occupy it when the new federal building is completed?

Mr. Howe (Port Arthur):

I would assume the Department of Public Works has a purpose for the building which is of sufficient importance to lead to the conclusion that the government should retain it.
