| Mr. Elmer S.
Knutson (now passed), owned Alberta Tractor, Edmonton, Alberta authored
this treatise.
Mr. Knutson (Who's Who Canada) financed most of the research with
the following two gentlemen. Research took over one and a half years and
cost a million and a half dollars. His dedication, and the dedication of
the other gentlemen below, was inspired by the desire to have Canadians
design a constitution from the ground up, one that would reflect the kind
of policies that they may want. Mr. Knutson wanted Canadians to
form a proper and legal constitution, one reflecting the will of the people,
such as other countries (U.S.A, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South
Africa, etc.) have attempted.
Mr. Roger Smith (1884) of Fort Qu'Appelle in the district of Assiniboia in the North West Territories, mechanical engineer; constitutional research was his hobby. He assisted in research. Mr. Walter Kuhl, Jasper/Edson. Member of Parliament, Ottawa, also assisted in research. His presentation before The House of Commons Ottawa, Thursday November 8, 1945. |
