generosity towards the people
of Canada. His legacy helped
shape Canada into the great
nation that it is today. The
Statute of Westminster that
saw our Parliament gain its
independence from Great
Britain, the Relief Act of
1932, the creation of the
Canadian Wheat Board, the

Canadian Radio Broadcasting
Act (forerunner of today's
CBC) and the creation of the
Bank of Canada are just a few
of the accomplishments of
this often forgotten
influential Canadian.
   In the end it will be
clear what we mean when we
say: “Not bad for the son of

a shipbuilder from Albert
County.”
