Right Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN (Prime Minister) :

Mr. Speaker, it was my

intention to move at this, the correct time, the motion of which I gave notice on Monday last relative to the amendment to the Dominion Elections Act. I have, however, conferred with my friend the leader of the Opposition, who is unable to be present just at the moment, and it has been agreed that, provided the House concurs, the motion he not gone on with now but that it be taken up later in the afternoon when the leader of the Opposition is present. I hope this is acceptable to the hon. member for Marquette (Mr. Crerar) and to the House generally.

SELECT STANDING COMMITTEES Right Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN: I beg to move, seconded by Right Hon. Sir George Poster:

That the name of Mr. McDermand he added to the Select Standing Committees on Agriculture and Colonization, Miscellaneous Private Bills, and Standing Orders.

Mr. JOSEPH ARCHAMBAULT (Cham-bly and Vercheres) :

Mr. Speaker, I wish to draw your attention to an inaccuracy in Hansard. On February 17, at page 89 I find in the report of the speech made by the hon. member for St. Hyacinthe-Rou-ville (Mr. Gauthier) these words:

The accusation came, and X am glad to see my hon. friend the member for Chambly and Verchdres (Mr. Archambault) in his place, for he was the president of the convention when this matter was threshed out.

I was in the House when the speech was made, and I do not believe my hon. friend referred to me, because a little later on he refers to the hon. member for Berthier (Mr. Gervais) in these words:

During- the special convention, which was presided over by my friend the member for Berthier (Mr. Gervais), we took congnizance of all these facts. '

I rise simply to correct this statement and to state that I never was at any convention of the Artisans, especially at the convention that whitewashed my hon. friend.
