Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. ROGERS:

I am not quite clear that it would be possible to give my hon. friend any very correct list, because we have not in the department a list of that sort. We have a general knowledge of the rivers that are navigable and those that are hot. If there is any particular river about which my hon. friend would like information, he can have anything we have in the department.
