NATIONAL DEFENCE
NUCUCAB WARHEADS—INQUIRY

AS TO KtCQTIA-

^ ' » 0 * ' w i T H PNTHED STATES

On the orders of the day:
Hon. I_ B. Pearson (Leader of the
Opposition): I should like to ask the Prime
Minister whether he can inform the house
whether the government is continuing to
negotiate with the United States government
over the acquisition of nuclear warheads for
weapons for Canadian forces.
Right Hon. J. G. Diefenbaker (Prime
Minuter): The hon. gentlemandid not give me
notice on this matter, Mr. Speaker, and I
would prefer to allow the question to stand
until Monday so I could give an answer in
the fullest detail. Any expurgated answer
at this time which would result from failure
to cover the entire situation might be misunderstood in its context.
Mr. Pearson: Mr. Speaker, I quite realize
that I did not give the Prime Minister notice;
my question was based on information which
appeared only a few hours ago in the press.
Does the Prime Minister not think it is
desirable to remove at once the confusion
which has been created by the different answers given on this subject by different
ministers?
J&amp;»J^**&amp;?*i
Mr. Speaker, I at once
refuse to accept the suggestion that any confusion has been created by the statements
made. The interpretation of them may be
confused, but the actual statements have
been clear.
Mr. Hasen Argue (Assiniboia): May I ask
a supplementary question. Can the Prime
Minister not tell the house and the country
whether negotiations are or are not going on
now? Does the Prime Minister not know?
