Mr. Fournier (Hull):

I do not know much about dredging; but if they have the reports on the soundings in the area to be dredged, it should not be very long. We will publicly advertise and get some tenders; and I think we will proceed in the near future.

Mr. Fournier (Hull):

The government does not need so much help, you know. The answer is that if I become convinced that material suppliers and subcontractors have claims in regard to certain buildings, and if there are holdbacks in excess of the amount needed, I am sure the department and the government will consider the matter seriously. Further than that I cannot go.
