Hon. Mr. GRAHAM:

I would ask the

hon. gentleman not to press this motion. The same principle would apply to it as applied

to the one moved yesterday by the hon. member for Calgary East (Mr. Irvine) which the House thought it not wise to press for the reasons I then gave to the House.

Mr. GOOD:

I do not think the expense

involved in answering this question would be considerable, nor could L quite appreciate the objections that were raised yesterday. I might call attention to question No. 5 on to-day's order paper which also involves bringing down a considerable list of civil servants in Ottawa. However, if the government declines to give the list, I shall have to be content.
