Lester Bowles Pearson (Leader of the Official Opposition)
Liberal
Mr. Pearson:
Of course, Mr. Speaker, our title, like theirs, would depend upon our capacity to obtain and retain a majority in this house in favour of the measures we would bring down; but we would put forward policies which would, I hope, secure that support.
We resigned last June because we did not feel we could reasonably hope for a majority in the house at that time, and in order to give the Conservative party a chance to show what they could do.
