Mr. Mitchell:

I can do it in two minutes. I suppose the hon. member wants an answer, although to be honest I know nothing about the case to which he has referred. I would say that on the average these people are just as good as any others. We could not have undertaken the power development on the Ottawa river if it had not been for such people. I am not concerned about voices in the street; I want facts.

Mr. Mitchell:

I will check it. What I want to impress on the committee is that, like my hon. friend, I get thousands of letters,

Supply-Labour

but just because somebody picks up a pen and puts something on paper it does not necessarily follow that the facts are as they outline them.
