Most Recent Speeches (Page 3 of 1323)
April 6, 1945
Mr. CRERAR:
Very well; I will say it
whether I have the permission of my hon. friend or not.
April 6, 1945
Mr. CRERAR:
May I say to my hon.
friend that he knows as well as anyone else that the war in Europe is not yet over.
April 6, 1945
Mr. CRERAR:
The quotation from the Prime Minister's remarks the other day, which was read a few moments ago by the hon. member for Parry Sound, stated the matter clearly. The situation after the European war is over will be reviewed with the other- allies in the Pacific area, and I take it that in the light of the circumstances as they may then exist the contribution that Canada shall make will be determined. No one knows. It may be that Japan will collapse before Germany does.
April 6, 1945
Mr. CRERAR:
As the Prime Minister told the house, it is in the light of the circumstances then existing that the decision of the government will be made at the proper time. When my hon. friend says, "You must tell us now how many men are going to go," I say that is an unreasonable position for the hon. member to take.
April 6, 1945
Mr. CRERAR:
Mr. Chairman, I did not interrupt my hon. friend, and I would be very grateful if he did not interrupt me.
