What assurance did mackenzie king give canadians during the debate on canada's involvement in the war? why did he do this?

He assured the population that he would not resume the policy of conscription as he understood the implications of political demise in regards the Quebecois views on him. He understood that the maintenance of conscription was already something which had split the nation, and he did not intend for it to do so again.

A picture is needed so I can see what your talking about
