COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE-SUPPLY OF LABOUR.


Mr. R. C. Henders (Macdonald) presented the following report from the Select Standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization: Your Committee have had before them for further consideration the question of labour in connection with agriculture, and how it best can be applied until the end of the war. Sub-committees appointed to consider the matter have gone very carefully into it, as well as other matters of equal importance, and have made their several reports which your Committee adopted and agreed to report the same herewith for the information of the House.


CONCURRENCE IN ORDERS IN COUNCIL


Sir GEORGE FOSTER moved that the Orders in Council laid on, the table of the House on the 2nd April, 1918, be concurred in. He said: The Orders in Council which have been issued and laid, on the Table form a long list of two pages. They are formal to a certain extent, but the law requires that these Orders in Council when passed shall be laid on the table of the House within a certain time. I think they are not law until they are so laid on the Table of the House, and thereafter if approved by the House.
