I'm confused.

Although it may seem foolish I agree, CD Howe does need to be in the game!

I was confused, too. But I figured this out:

Clarence Decatur Howe
Canadian federal Munitions Minister / Canadian Minister of Munitions and Supply
Widely known as the “Minister of Everything” in the government of Prime Ministers Mackenzie King and Louis St. Laurent, he organized and managed Canada’s industrial war effort throughout World War II.

In 1935, Howe was talked into running for Parliament as the Liberal member for Port Arthur. With no prior political experience, he won his seat in a Liberal sweep of the country and was given a dual Cabinet position as Minister of Railways and Canals and as Minister of Marine, but these ministries were soon combined into the Ministry of Transport.

Canada entered World War II in September 1939 unprepared both militarily and industrially. In the next few weeks legislation was rushed through Parliament creating a War Supply Board headed by C.D. Howe that was given wide-ranging powers over private industry to direct arms production.

In the game, Ian A. McKenzie is the Armaments Minister in the 1939 scenario, and Howe is nowhere to be found, even not in the year 1940.
I hope that all other readers are not that confused after reading my post...
