INQUIRY FOR RETURNS.

?

Hon. GEO E.@

FOSTER, Before the Orders of the Day are called, I would point out to the Minister of Railways that in compliance with the order of the House yesterday in reference to the hay matter, he brought down a supplementary return, but the main return which was ordered five days before, he has not brought down, and of course the codicil is of no use without the will. I wish to have the return as soon as possible.

I may be a little premature, but I would like to know if the Minister of Finance can tell us, about what time he proposes to bring down the financial statement.

I wish to ask the Minister of the Interior, or the minister who is acting for him, when I may expect the return ordered early in the session as to the lands that had been sold in the Northwest during the past year. ,

Mr. FOSTER.

Has the First Minister had time yet during these busy hours, to inquire as to an official statement or semiofficial statement that was distributed recently in reference to separate schools in the different provinces ?

Sir WILFRID LAURIER.

I understand it was distributed by the Secretary of State, and I am further told that the document contains no comment but is composed simply of extracts from the former debates of the House.

Mr. FOSTER, My criticism was that though there is no argument in so many words, yet the whole is arranged in the form of a sustained argument and the clauses

which bear particularly upon tbe maintenance and establishment of separate schools are italicised all tbe way through. That would not appear in an official statement, or ought not to. Evidently there is a tendency in it to make an argument as well as to present official information.
