Brings Sharp Reaction

ie If Dief, Douglas «Have Criticism

! he therefore was changing

S$ report to read that Mr. ‘Favreau had advised Mr. Pear- son Sept. 2 about the role of Raymond Denis, then executive assistant tothe immigration minister, and—not-of Mr. Roul- eau.

Mr. Diefenbaker told report- ers Monday: “If ever there was. need to recall a commis- sion . Canadians want te hear the prime minister of Can ada explain the unexplainable.”

He said Chief Justice Dorion in his original report had inter- preted the evidence of Mr. Fav-

reau the only way he could jhave.

The change made by the ijudge was “tomparatively minor.” What was more im- portant, he said, was that Mr. Pearson knew “Sept. 2 that a

$20,000 bribe had been offered to have Rivard released on bail. Mr. Pearson had not done his duty when informed of this

bribery attempt. x

Mr. Diefenbaker said Mr. Pearson used his position ag prime minister to modify what Mr. Favreau had told the in- quiry~ under sath.

“What manner of thing e this?”

“Mr. Favreau had been given _ a second chance to modify hie testimony. -

Why. asked Mr. Diefenbaker, did Mr. Pearson not go before the commission. and give _evi- ‘dence.

QUESTION ASKED

“Was he afraid of what the eee questions might Mr. Douglas said Mr. son and Mr. Favreau waited until the commission concluded its hearings and then ‘twisted the arm of the chief justice te change—his report in_a—_matter of vital importance.”

“Does this mean that af other persons named in the re- port are to have a similar ‘op- portunity to secure changes in the commission’s findings or is this privilege to be reserved for Mr. Pearson and Mr. Fav-

- “By their actions rose govern. \ ment have made a farce. of the whole inquiry.”’ |

Mr.* Douglas also sgaidin a statement it seemed preposter- ous that Mr. Pearson and Mr. Favreau should have asked for a change in the report after it had “been tabled in Parliament.

If Mr. Favreat had felt dur-

.ing_the _inquiry__his testimony. was not clear he could have - .

asked to be recalled.

COULD HAVE ASKED

Similarly, Mr. Pearson could have asked to testify at the in- quiry.

There was no comment from Mr. Pearson.

When the disptite arose fast week, Chief Justice Dorion said jhe based the Sept. 2 sentence lin his report on the sworn tes- timony of Mr. Favreau as it appeared at paze- 7308 of the transcript.

At the inquiry. March 25 Mr. eae was asked “Mr. emblay ‘then immigration

minister) told us that he asked _yvou,_to_advise—the—prime—min-— ister of the fact that Mr. Roul- eau could he_involved, or that this affair existed?”

Mr. Favreau replied "I de not believe that Mr. Tremblay” asked me to advise the prime minister. What was decided was that T should he the one to advise the prime minister, even if it was his assistant who was. concerned .. .

Thursday Mr. Favreau said the assistant he was_referri to in this reply was Denis, Mr. Tremblay’s aide, and not’ Mr. Rouleau. :

In Quebec City, Ross Drouin, Conservative lawver during fhe inquiry, said Mr. Favreau did’ not use the “normal’’ method of correcting his testimony
