“This is what happened. Last December, during lunch with Mr. Smallwood in Quebec, I said there would be no sense in continuipg. the policy of the Union Nationale which consisted of leaving the question of the

Harkness replied.
Mr. Regier drew other angry replies from ,.Mr. Harkness as he entered the Commons throne speech debate to attack the gov- ernment’s defence and foreign policies. ,
The British Colurmbia MP also stated flatly that there are nu- clear weapons on Canadian soil, and he refused to accept Mr. Harkness’ denial.
There were other references to the question of cabinet unity as the debate continued through its fourth day of what one MP
called an ‘electoral war of nerves." . Lionel Chevrier (‘L--Montreal

He said Mr. Harkness had ap- pealed to Canadian servicemen “to support him in his battle inside the government.”

Mr. Harkness said that state ment was without justification.
Mr Regier said government policy on acquiring nuclear war- heads for Canadian weapons is to delay the announcement until after the election
“We in Canada have nuclear weapons today. but the govern- ment doesn’t have the guts to tell the Canadian people."
