May 29, 1934 (17th Parliament, 5th Session)

Mr. ONESIME GAGNON (Dorchester):

I should like to direct a question to the Minister of Labour (Mr. Gordon). In yesterday's issue of the Montreal Le Devoir there appeared a dispatch with regard to the accounts due the city of Montreal. The article is headed, "Ottawa is Responsible" and it is to the effect that if the accounts Of the city of Montreal are unpaid it is because of the delay on the part of the federal government. I should like to ask the minister if such statements are true.
