Mr. Speaker, we have an old refrain here, “Conservative Party stepping in to scapegoat a supposedly inexperienced official agent”. He proved unable to competently run a local election campaign within the rules, but Reg Bowers was still so well regarded by the Prime Minister that he was awarded with a plum appointment to the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board.
Reg Bowers a été incapable de mener convenablement une campagne électorale locale dans les règles, mais il jouissait toujours de tellement de prestige auprès du premier ministre qu'on lui a trouvé un excellent poste au sein de l'Office Canada-Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador des hydrocarbures extracôtiers.
