Excerpt from Speech Delivered by the Hon. John Hall Before the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Quebec, on 4th and 5th December 1894, Against the Loan of 27, 632, 647 FrancsOn rising to make some remarks in support of the motion, I am free to confess that I find myself in an unpleasant position of having to deviate from colleagues and persons with whom I have worked for a length of time. The financial position of the Province, however, is one of such importance, and I, as treasurer, being looked to by the public to direct those affairs, it became necessary for me in a question of this kind to decline to accept any responsibility in connection with the transaction, which I thought not according to a policy and plan capable of working out our financial affairs. It led to my resignation, and the correspondence in connection with this resignation has already been laid before the House, and the Members and the public have had an opportunity to read it over, therefore I pass over any discussion of it.No matter what may have passed, it is quite evident that as regards the public and the party, I must be considered as having been Treasurer and so primarily liable and certainly officially responsible for the Loan, and the financial policy of the Government, and this I cannot assume.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
