PRIVILEGE-MR. SHAW

On the Orders of the Day: , Mr. JOS. T. SHAW (Calgary West): f rise to a question of privilege. An article appeared in the Grain Growers' Guide under the heading of "Our Ottawa Letter," apparently from the Ottawa correspondent, under date of 14th February last, in which the following reference was made to myself: The fourteen Progressives who voted against the Shaw amendment did so because not only was it, in their opinion, superfluous, but they for the most part thought that it was presented somewhat as a result of an understanding with the Conservatives, who refrained from submitting a motion. Reports had been going the round to the effect that there was an understanding in this direction. I want to say that there is not the slightest foundation in fact for the insidious suggestion contained in the portion of the article which i have just read.
