20 The advocates of a vigorous policy of nationalization had been disappointed by the failure of M. Duplessis to include Dr. Hamel in the Cabinet, and in February, 1937, the Hon. Oscar Drouin, minister of lands and forests, resigned after the rejection of his demand for a stronger policy (Monireal Gazette, Feb. 24, 25, and March 15).

21 Meanwhile the government had announced that it had reached, by direct negotiation, an agreement with the Quebec Power Company for a reduction of rates, no mention being made in the press report of any reference of the matter to Electricity Commission (see ibid., Nov. 21, 1936).
