Mr. ROBB:

I would like to draw attention to the fact, Mr. Speaker, that during the last session some hon. members advised doing away with Hansard in committee of the Whole

Budget Changes

House, as a method of economy. It would now appear that we are gradually enlarging Hansard, and are not only having it in the House, but in the committees as well.

Mr. STEVENS:

I would like to draw to

the attention of the minister the fact that under the rules of the House all such motions are supposed to go to the committee on Printing, there to be dealt with. I have noticed this session that in perhaps five or six instances the rule has been suspended and printing has been authorized, but I think if the minister would allow the motion to go to the Printing committee that would solve his difficulty.

Right Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (Prime Minister):

With the consent of the

House I should like to move the following resolution, of which unfortunately I have not given notice:

That when this House adjourns on Wednesday, May 12, it stand adjourned until Friday, May 14.

I may say that it has been the custom in previous years for the House to adjourn over Ascension Day.

Mr. STEWART (Edmonton):

This amendment is for the purpose of eliminating from the forest reserves of northern Saskatchewan some lands that have been found fit for agriculture. When the bill was put through it included more land of a good agricultural character than was anticipated, and it is now desired to withdraw that land. The amendment also provides for the addition of some land to one or two of the forest reserves in Manitoba.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
