Mr. CHEVRIER:

I have realized that since this debate started, because no one has been flooded with more telegrams than I have from members of the province of Saskatchewan. And this indicates to me that there is some attempt to make a political issue out of this question.

Mr. CHEVRIER:

All right; my hon. friend has prompted me by his interruptions into stating that if that is not the case, why is it that all these telegrams come from one province and do not come from another?
