Diet Seeks Proof of Canada Nuclear Commitments
In Ottawa the Liberal government refused a put up or shut up motion on documentary proof of Canada’s nuclear commitments. External Affairs Minister Paul Martin offered to table excerpts from secret documents he says show Canada would acquire nuclear arms. Opposition Leader Diefenbaker pressed the vote, and the Liberals won 140 to 64 with support from Social Credit and New Democrats. Former Defence Minister Douglas Harkness did not vote. Martin later replied that Canada’s commitments arise from NATO processes and North American defence, and that some documents could prejudice national security. Knowles had moved for copies of papers dated since 1957.
