Order. There is no objection to the hon. member asking whether the resolution has been received, but he should not cite the contents of the resolution. This question might more properly be placed on the Order Paper. There is no objection to the question whether the resolution was received.

Mr. J. J. DENIS (Joliette):

I heard a rumour this morning to the effect that the Government would press for a vote on the second reading of the Grand Trunk Bill tomorrow night. This would be in direct opposition to the declaration of the Minister of the Interior (Mr. Meighen), who

stated that the fullest opportunity would be given hon. members to discuss this question. - Is there any foundation for that rumour?

Sir GEORGE FOSTER:

There has been no arrangement made looking in that direction. It has been repeatedly stated that the House shall have all the time it wants to discuss this question. I hope, however, that its wants will be reasonable, because we do want to get away in fair time. We are not going to force the matter to a vote, however, until the House is reasonably ready for it.
