HONG KONG COMMISSION

PRESS REPORTS OP STATEMENT OF COLONEL DREW WITH REGARD TO COMMISSIONER'S FINDINGS

On the orders of the day:
LIB

Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. THOMAS REID (New Westminster):

I should like to direct a question to the Minister of Justice. What steps do the government intend to take in view of -the serious attack which has been made by Colonel Drew upon Sir Lyman Duff, Chief Justice of Canada, whose findings on the Hong Kong expedition were made public in the house on Friday last. It is not my intention to read the dastardly statements appearing in the press, but the attack upon the judiciary of Canada, especially that upon the chief justice, to my mind should not be allowed to go unchallenged. Therefore I ask the government what they intend to do to protect one of the chief bulwarks of our democratic institutions against attacks of this kind.

Mr. DOUGLAS (Weyburn):

In this case he is not the chief justice; he is a commissioner.

Hon. L. S. ST. LAURENT (Minister of Justice): I am afraid I am not in a position

to give a complete answer to the hon. member this afternoon. My attention was attracted to a press dispatch purporting to contain certain extracts from a statement made by Mr. Drew. I asked the officers of the department to secure if possible the complete statement and to examine it and give me a report. As yet I have not received such report.

Mr. HANSON (York-Sunbury):

No. Sir

Lyman Duff is an old friend of mine, and I say advisedly that there was no attack on the Chief Justice of Canada. There may have been an attack on the royal commission and the report of a royal commissioner, which is an entirely different matter.
