Mr. MACKENZIE (Vancouver):

No; as a matter of fact I think negotiations were carried on entirely by the company's representative in England for the last two years, since 1936.

Yes; I understand a valuation of about a quarter of a million dollars is placed upon that machinery. That much will be saved, as against the necessity for new purchases.

Mr. MACKENZIE (Vancouver):

No; in one or two instances the principle has been followed of the government sharing with industry, the government purchasing equipment and retaining ownership. In this instance I understand the British War Office pays one-third of the price, and Canada pays two-thirds, with the entire ownership being vested in Canada.
