Most Recent Speeches (Page 1 of 1863)
May 4, 1972
Mr. Harkness:
Mr. Speaker, I wonder if any consideration has been given to placing the Royal Canadian Engineers in charge of this project?
Subtopic: MACKENZIE VALLEY HIGHWAY PROJECT-INQUIRY AS TO LETTING CONTRACTS AND CONDUCTING SURVEYS-POSSIBLE SURVEY BY ROYAL CANADIAN ENGINEERS
May 4, 1972
Hon. D. S. Harkness (Calgary Centre):
Mr. Speaker, I wish to direct a question to the Prime Minister. What government department-I presume either Indian Affairs or Public Works-will be letting the contracts for the proposed new highway up the Mackenzie River valley, and what detailed surveys, if any, of the route have been carried out?

April 21, 1972
Hon. D. S. Harkness (Calgary Centre):
Mr. Speaker, I should like to address a question to the Minister of National Defence. Has the government decided to purchase Scorpion armoured fighting vehicles for the use of the Canadian forces? If so, how many of these vehicles are to be secured?
April 21, 1972
Mr. Harkness:
Would the minister tell the House what units are to be supplied with these armoured fighting vehicles? Will it be merely forces overseas or also armoured units in Canada?
April 18, 1972
Mr. Harkness:
In view of the fact these negotiations have been dragging on for more than three years at the level of officials, would the minister not consider taking the matter up with his opposite number in the United States government so that an agreement could be expedited?
