I desire to lay on the Table 50 copies of a Census of the male population of Canada between the ages of 20 and 45.
Sir WILFRID LAURIER:
Might I suggest that several copies of this be printed?

There is no objection to that, but I .would point out that 50 copies have already been laid on the Table.

The Minister of Militia informs me that a large number of copies in the form of those already laid on the Table will be supplied.
