 With the Cabinet still divided between adherents of Green and Harkness, Diefenbaker made a speech in the Commons on January 25 that Fleming (by then Minister of Justice) termed "a model of obfuscation".Harkness was initially convinced that Diefenbaker was saying that he would support nuclear warheads in Canada.After talking to the press, he realized that his view of the speech was not universally shared, and he asked Diefenbaker for clarification.
