The information

will be forthcoming shortly.

CORRECTION-Mr. PUGSLEY.

On the Orders of the Day:

Hon, WILLIAM PUGSLEY (St. John City): I wish to correct a statement which I am reported to have made yesterday, and which appears on page 6384 of Hansard. I assume that the error occurred because my language was not clear. I read a resolu-

tion adopted by the Great War Veterans' Association, of Sit. John, and during the course of my remarks I referred to the fact that a certain number of gentlemen held positions-the report says "in St. John," hut what I intended to say-and what I think I did eay-was in "Military District No. 6." .

Mr. REID:

I remember that the hon.

gentleman said "St. John."

Mr. PUGSLEY:

Did I? Then I made a mistake. I should 'have said Military District No. 6, in the Maritime Provinces. I wish to correct that error.

Mr. A. K. MACLEAN (Halifax):

May I ask the Prime Minister whether the Nova Scotia voters' lists, as last revised by the province will be printed and furnished to candidates, including defeated candidates, as required by the provision of Part 1 of the Dominion Elections Act? It would be a -ery great advantage to all parties to have this information. It is true that the lists will be somewhat revised; still, a great deal of work would be saved, if the provisions of the law were carried out.

Sir ROBERT BORDEN:

My hon. friend asked a similar question the other day. I oommunieated with the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery and expected to have a reply from him, I believe that .such a reply has been prepared', hut it has not yet reached me. Part 1 of the Dominion Elections Act is suspended for the purposes of thie election; therefore the provieions which requires the printing of voting lists are suspended because they are in that part of the Act, and are not elsewhere to be found. My hon. friend, however, has put it on the ground not of legal obligation, but of convenience. I should not care to give a definite reply at the moment, but I shall discuss the subject with the Secretary of State and give the best consideration that may be possible to what my hon. friend suggests.

Mr. A. K. MACLEAN (Halifax):

I would suggest to the Prime Minister that when the Military Voters' Act and the War-Time Elections Act are printed, a considerable number of copies he sent to the members

so that they shall not be obliged to write to Ottawa for them.

Sir ROBERT BORDEN:

I think that is an entirely reasonable request.

Sir WILFRID LAURIER:

May I, in this connection, suggest to my right hon. friend that the lists which are now in force in the four eastern provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova 'Scotia and Prince Edward Island, should he distributed, because the number of those whose names will be taken off those lists is very limited. Apart from the number in one or perhaps two cities, the number of those who will be disfranchised can be counted upon the fingers of one hand. If we had copies of the lists of those provinces, it would be a great advantage to us.

Sir. ROBERT BORDEN:

I shall give my best attention to the suggestion of my right hon. friend.
