That the first report of the joint committee of both Houses on the Printing of Parliament as appearing on page 204 of the Votes and Proceedings of this House be amended by inserting Nos. 35, 36a, 37 and 37a under clause 1 which enumerates the documents to be printed, and that the report as so amended do pass.

I must advise the hon. member that the motion as worded is out of order. The report ought to be referred back to the committee, and be there amended.

Mr. GAUVREAU:

Mr. Speaker, the documents enumerated were printed during the recess at the request of the Prime Minister. When the committee sat the other day it approved of this printing, and the report should have contained a list of the documents, but this was forgotten at the time and the report appeared without the particulars which are contained in the proposed amendment.

The committee on Printing is a joint committee of the Senate and of the House of Commons. Do I understand that the insertion of these numbers was agreed upon by the joint committee?
