_ » E i. g . fx km. M if » 1', ' Jit S. é S Empire and necessary at all which the Government has introduced, in pursuance of an agreement with the British Admiralty. These remarks have been made by these gentlemen day in and day out since the Sth oi- Decdmber and' now they are admitted to have been made for no use what-_ ever, that they were futile and that they had no eilect. They say now* that we_.cannot build any ships until we get shipyards. What is the cost of tne shipyards that they were going to build? when could these shipyards be completed? Could they equip these shipyards in n year, or two or three years? When would these ships, which we require today for the defence of our country, be con- structed? I think the statement made by the right hon. leader of the Government (Mr. Borden) is absolute- ly correct that it would take at least twenty-five years to put Canada in a position to be able to supply this country with a proper equipment to build these ships. Where would you get the men? We have not the work- menin this country to construct these ships. We would have to import them and before we could get any ships built, before we could put ourselves in a position to defend our country und our trade, we might find the great nations of Europe at one an- other’s throats and we might proba- bly find that Great Britain had fallen owing to the neglect of Canada to do her duty by the Empire. These ad- missions are made tonight in cool blood. The remarks prior to this were made very vehemently by mem-' bers of the Opposition during the twelve days of continuous sitting. But tonight we find these hon. gen- tlemen very quiet, a change has come over the spirit of their dreams. Ons says that we have no rules at all. One member, of the late Administra- tion, the hon. member for St. John (Mr. Pugsley), comes here and makes the bold statement that we have no rules and that we are simply at the mercy of the O osftion. The hon was Pass this DD - member for Red Deer (Mr. Clark)"ate these small factories and what- stands up and says that he does not ngree with the hon. member for St. John. I think we have a divided party. The man who led the House during the twelve days, that the ruin- pus took place is now turned _down by the member for |Red Deer and we have the spectacle in this_Parliament of two leading men who led that op- position to the naval project of the Prime Minister fighting amongst themselves. We know, and the mem- bers oi the Opposition know them- selves, that their arguments do not up some bluil before the country and one of their bluffs was the statement that we could build these ships in Canada. Tonight we find them de- nuded of that argument, and nothing is left to them now except that they came here tonight, as they have come here many other nights and worked up the old threadbare argument that we should submit this question to the people of Canada. Did they submit the Naval Act of 1910 to the people of Canada? Was there one word ut- tered then by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in favor of submitting his Bill to the people? We all know that their con- tention in this respect is insincere. I do not believe they want the question submitted to the people. I do not be- lieve there isa man who has studied this question from one end of Cana- da to the other who believes that the Liberals would have any chance in an election. They do not believe them- selves that would succeed in an elec- tion, and they simply put up this bluil-- Mr. GAUVREAU2 Let us try. Mr. McLEAN: These gentlemen tell the people of the country that ii they got an election they would, be re- turned to power, but what would they do if they were returned to pow- er? I presume they would take up the old thread-bare naval policy of 1910 and dilly dally along with that and do nothing eilective for the de- fence of the Empire. Why are 5,000,- 000 men under arms in Europe today? Suppose a conflict took place, the British navy would be employed de lending the shores oi Britain and what would become of the protection e -Sunnyside _ of our trade routes. We would hav nothing to defend us. Some hon. MEMBERS: Hear, hear _Mi-.
