George Alexander Drew (Leader of the Official Opposition)

Progressive Conservative

This house then heard a discussion of external affairs and later it heard a discussion of national defence. The minister for external affairs showed scant regard for the members of the house in the course he followed; moreover, when defence was being discussed the Minister of National Defence (Mr. Claxton) showed even less courtesy toward the house when he absented himself during a substantial part of that debate.
