That 1,000 additional copies of the third and final report of the Special Committee on Pensions and Re-establishment be printed in English and sent to the clerk of the committee for distribution as instructed, and that Rule 74 be suspended in relation thereto.

He said: The original motion authorized the. printing of 1,000 copies, but the demand for copies has been so great that the supply is almost exhausted, and it is quite evident we shall need more copies for distribution throughout the country.

As chairman of the Committee on Printing, which has control of these matters, I would say that no application for the printing of further copies has been made to the committee, and it is therefore contrary to the rules of the House to make a motion of this kind. I (would iaisk the hon. member to make application to the Printing Committee and we will see that he gets the extra copies printed within the next two or three days. , i

Mr. HOCKEN:

The charge in this case was made because the Bill was not introduced within the time prescribed by the rules of the House. The responsibility for that was upon the solicitor for the applicant, and he feels that his client ought to- get -this relief, which has- been granted to so many others in the same circumstances .

Mr. SPEAKER:

Speaking from memory, it has been done this session in one or two instances. It has also been done, I believe, in previous sessions. The motion in its terms states that it is based on the recommendation of the committee.
