Richard Bedford Bennett (Leader of the Official Opposition)
Conservative (1867-1942)
Mr. BENNETT:
The minister has entirely failed to appreciate the point that I made. He has seen fit to make a recommendation to council based upon a recommendation made to him by the deputy minister, which provided for the acceptance of a tender that was not the lowest, which lowest tender was declined because, it was stated, "of reports received concerning this firm." Did the minister take any steps to ascertain whether they were correct or not? Did he give the man an opportunity to make an answer? Did he communicate with him at all?
