February 8, 1951 (21st Parliament, 4th Session)

Mr. Riley:

It is fine to hear his voice raised occasionally in the House of Commons, because I have sat here for the last few days wondering when he was going to make, not a simple ineffective speech in opposition but one of those mighty speeches that we have heard him deliver in the past. I am keenly disappointed that this hon. member, who must definitely be aware of the great role which he must play if he is conscious of his responsibilities in parliament, has not given more effective opposition to this government which he persists in criticizing by means of catcalls in a sotto voce.
