Henry Herbert Stevens

Henry Herbert Stevens was a British Columbia politician who served as a Conservative MP from 1911 to 1940. He served as Minister of Trade and Commerce under R.B. Bennett but broke with the party in 1935 to form the Reconstruction Party over disagreements about corporate regulation and price spreads. The new party won only one seat (his own) in the 1935 election but split the Conservative vote badly, contributing to the Liberal landslide. He later returned to the Conservative fold.
