RECIPROCITY TREATY WITH THE UNITED STATES.

CON

Robert Laird Borden (Leader of the Official Opposition)

Conservative (1867-1942)

Mr. BORDEN (Halifax).

I would like to ask the right hon. the Prime Minister whether there are any other documents to be brought down in connection with the proposal presented yesterday by the Minister of Finance, and whether there are any protocols in connection with the negotiations. Also at what date it is proposed to take up again the same question.

Sir WILFRID LAURIER.

There are no other papers to be brought down, so far as I am aware. I cannot tell to-day when the debate will be resumed, but probably within the course of next week.

Mr. FOSTER.

I would like to suggest that before we go on with the debate we should have some commercial statistics to guide us, and give us a basis of information-statistics of imports and exports as between Canada and the United States and Canada and other countries.

I have been trying to get that information, but it involves our asking every employee in the department, whether he comes from South Grey or not.

Mr. BLAIN.

That should not be a very difficult task. Surely the list cannot be so very large, and the hon. member for South Grey (Mr. Miller) could give the information.
