Second Report of the Select Standing Committee on Railways, Canals and Telegraph Lines-Mr. Armstrong (Lambton).
That four hundred copies in English and two hundred in French of the trade agreement between France and Canada, laid on the Table of the House on the 29th instant, be printed forthwith, and that Rule 74 be suspended in relation thereto.
Mr. MURPHY:
May I suggest to my
right hon. friend that there is likely to be a greater demand for French copies of this treaty than for English copies?
Sir GEORGE FOSTER:
I do not think
so.
Mr. MURPHY:
My right hon. friend
should have at least the same number printed in French as in English.
Sir GEORGE FOSTER:
I do not think there will be the same demand for the French copies. The demand for the English copies will come from traders and business houses.
Mr. MURPHY:
French business houses
will be interested to the same extent.
Sir GEORGE FOSTER:
I have no
objection to. making the number of French copies four hundred.
Mr. SPEAKER:
The motion now provides for four hundred copies in English and four hundred in French. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion as so amended?
Motion as amended agreed to.
