David James Walker (Minister of Public Works; Minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation; Minister responsible for National Capital Commission)

Progressive Conservative

Mr. Walker:

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for seeing me. This has been better than the 5BX exercises.

I am always anxious to answer quickly the questions asked by the hon. member for Vancouver East. In reply to the question he put to me yesterday I would point out that drawings for a camp in the Agassiz area to confine Doukhobors convicted under the Criminal Code are under way. The housing units which will provide the bulk of the accommodation are prefabricated huts obtained on loan from the Department of National Defence.

The erection of the huts and the provision of services together with a perimeter security fence, are being undertaken on a day labour basis, with materials being obtained under the local tender call system and subcontracts for specialized work, such as heating, being awarded following competitive bidding.
