March 9, 1953 (21st Parliament, 7th Session)

Mr. Macdonnell (Greenwood):

The hon. member for Dauphin was very fair in his reference to me at the opening. I want to ask this question. I made that statement in good faith. I believe it. Does the hon. member question that simple statement that what they really did was sign on the dotted line the agreement that had been on the point of being signed while Mr. Bennett was still in office? There are other points which arise by reason of what the hon. member for Dauphin has read subsequently, but I am asking whether that statement is true.
