INSPECTION OF GRAIN.
Rt. Hon. Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT (Minister of Trade and Commerce) moved for leave to introduce Bill (No. 113) respecting the inspection of grain.

LIB

Liberal
Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT.
The object is to consolidate in one measure a very large number of amendments introduced from time to time to the law regulating the inspection of grain, and also to assimilate io some extent the law as it now exists between the two divisions of eastern and western Canada. There are some differences between the inspection in Manitoba and the Northwest and the inspection in eastern Canada. I wish to have this Bill printed for distribution. And I may mention that, after the second reading, I intend to propose that the Bill be referred to a special committee, before whom the parties interested may appear.
Topic: INSPECTION OF GRAIN.
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the first time.
