May 31, 1940 (19th Parliament, 1st Session)

Mr. W. P. MULOCK (York North):

I should like to address a question to the Minister of Munitions and Supply (Mr. Howe). Has his attention been drawn to a report appearing in the Hamilton Spectator of Wednesday, May 29, wherein it is alleged that certain charges of the hon. member for Parkdale (Mr. Bruce) are borne out by the statement of an official of the Sawyer-Massey firm of that city, in these words:
His firm, said the Spectator informant, was prepared, in the event of being awarded a

contract, to start production on a form of tank known as the Bren gun carrier, without delay.
I should like to ask the minister whether tanks or Bren gun carriers were involved in the matter.
