This is item 400 in the supplementaries. This is a warrant that was taken for the expenses of Colonel Belcher, who travelled from Vancouver to Halifax, speaking in various towns and cities on his way, interesting people in the various provinces in the British Empire Exhibition which will be held in 1924.

Sir HENRY DRAYTON:

This is an item of considerable importance, and I think the House would like to have full details in connection with the status of the undertaking, how many applications we still have, how many are still open, and generally the position of the undertaking. I expect there will be some discussion on this item. I do not know whether we will advance it much by taking it up at five minutes to eleven.

The only point about that is that if a statement is made and the matter is not proceeded with, it will all have to be gone over again. I do not think anything will be gained by it. If there are some small non-contentious items they might be put through.
