February 8, 1926 (15th Parliament, 1st Session)

Mr. SUTHERLAND (South Oxford):

If
my hon. friend is one of those who did not make the statement I presume he has a perfect right to say so, but I do not think that I am called upon to name specifically the hon. members who took that stand. It would take considerable time to name them. 1 would also refer to a statement reported in the press as having been made by the Minister of Customs (Mr. Boivin) in Montreal a few days ago to the effect that the Progressives were Liberals in a hurry. The minister was reported as stating what would happen if those gentlemen got into too great a hurry, and he intimated another appeal to the country by the government.
