Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. JEAN FRANCOIS POULIOT (Temiscouata):

Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of privilege. My attention has been drawn to the following sentence appearing in the issue of Maclean's Magazine for November 15, 1946:

The "Independant Liberal" is Jean-Franqois Pouliot, regarded by the government as one of its most implacable enemies.

I should like to know if such a statement has been made by any cabinet minister to any gentleman of the press. If so I would ask all cabinet, ministers, or any one of them, please to raise their hands, or his hand, or rise so that I shall know with whom I have to deal. No one rises; therefore I must be an implacable friend, if the word can be used in that way.

Hon. LIONEL CHEVRIER (Minister of Transport):

The railway service between

Point Tupper and Inverness was reduced to a service of three days, by order of the transport controller. The hon. member has suggested a means whereby that service might be restored to its original state. I have asked the management of the Canadian National Railways to ascertain whether the hon. member's suggestion can be adopted, but I have not yet received a reply. Just as soon as I do, I shall be glad to inform him.
