Mr. VENIOT:

I did not say that. I was not referring to the hon. member for Ottawa; I was referring to the statement made by the Minister of the Interior. I have knowledge of two cases, one in the Department of Public Works and one in the Post Office department, where returned soldiers, fathers of families- 22110-1851

one of six children and the other of seven- were retired in order to make room for civilians. The principle adopted by the Minister of the Interior is certainly not followed by the other ministers.
