June 3, 1938 (18th Parliament, 3rd Session)

Mr. BENNETT:

No, and that is British justice. Right there in black and white is a document impugning the reputation of a firm that enjoys at least as good a reputation as the deputy minister, and he attacks it and gives no reason for it, and does not communicate with the man. Why? This gentleman could not get a set of the tender forms, not being on the list of the Minister of Labour (Mr. Rogers) and not being able to get the forms, he puts in his tender and says: " I will fill out any form you require." The director of contracts felt that he could not deal with the situation, and so the minister says: "Do not accept the lowest tender; he happens to be a Conservative."
