Mr. LEMIEUX:

With reference to the

editorial committee it seems to me-

Mr. SPEAKER:

There can be no discussion on the presentation of a report; a die-

euesion can take place only on a motion for concurrence.

Mr. CURRIE:

I understand the report

will appear in the Votes and Proceedings on Monday.

Mr. SPEAKER:

Yes.

Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING:

Does

the return the Prime Minister has just presented include all the correspondence, or has some been withheld?

Sir ROBERT BORDEN:

It is all included so far as I am aware.

Mr. JOSEPH ARCHAMBAULT (Chambly and Vercheres):

I wish, to call the attention of the Government to some orders for returns which were passed by the House, some even last session, .and which have not yet been brought down. There were two returns of last session, one regarding the Ste. Anne military hospital, the second regarding the list of the Grand Trunk shareholders. On the 29th March of this session an order was passed calling for specifications and plans in connection with the Vancouver drydock and the contract given to Messrs. J. Coughlan and Sons, Limited. Another was passed on April 19 calling for a list of all farmers who enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Another was passed on April 21 regarding the War Stamps Act, amounts collected, expenses of administration and fines in the different cases. Another was passed on April 26 asking for- a return showing the amount of

liquor imported into Canada from 1913 to 1919. Another was passed on May 26 asking for a return showing the average prices of anthracite coal from 1914 to the present. Another was passed on June 14 asking for a return showing the names of insurance companies which have complied with section 115 of the Insurance Act of 1910, chapter 157. All these returns are important, and I hope the ministers will find time to lay them on the table of the House before the end of the session. I wish to call special attention to the order respecting the list of Grand Trunk shareholders. I insist on this one especially.

Sir ROBERT BORDEN:

I shall direct the attention of the ministers to my hon. friend's request. It brings back to me some old memories, because I recollect that on one occasion, as leader of the Opposition I read out a list of about three typewritten pages of returns that had been ordered during the then session and two previous sessions and which had not been brought down. The failure to bring down returns seems to be common to all administrations but I shall endeavour to expedite these returns.

When the right hon. gentleman is leader of the Opposition we shall see that he gets his returns.

Mr. J. H. SINCLAIR (Antigonish and Guysboirough):

More than a year ago I obtained an ordeT of the House of Commons for the production of all correspondence relating to the appointment of a Lieutenant Governor for Prince Edward Island. The order has not yet been coimplied with. I should like to know when I may expect the return to be brought down.

Sir ROBERT BORDEN:

I do not think there is any correspondence; at all events, any that can be brought doiwn, but I shall make inquiry.
