Mr. GERVAIS.

I may say that the report was made to this House yesterday. A sub-committee of the Debates Committee was apiiointed some time ago to examine into the question whether or not we should

change the form of indexing our debates, and after due examination of the question, the sub-committee reported to the general committee that the former system of indexing the official debates should be maintained. The report is presented in consequence of the recommendation of the sub-committee. In a nut shell, the sub-committee, as well as the general committee, did not think fit to adopt the English rule of indexing the debates of the House of Commons. We prefer to maintain the general index which has formerly been in use which gives an index of names and an index of subjects bound with each volume of one thousand pages.

Mr. GERVAIS.

In every volume. Everybody is satisfied with the two indexes and we have therefore reported in favour of retaining the old system of indexing.
