Mr. MEIGHEN:

The purpose of this amendment is to enlarge the opportunities of placer mining in the Yukon. The Yukon has been pretty well developed to its capacity, or rather, I should say, as that might be a dangerous statement, that it has been developed so far that now the prosipect of the placer mining worker is not so alluring as it was. This Bill enlarges the area on new creeks and old creeks over which the miner may prospect and enlarges also the rights for which he may record.

May I ask my right hon. friend the Minister of Trade and Commerce, what is the object of the present conference in Ottawa between the delegates of the West Indies and the Canadian Government? Is the object purely a commercial one, or is there something else?
