Mr. LAPOINTE:

I have noticed, Mr. Speaker, that when an explanation is made on notice being given we have to give the same explanation when the resolution comes up the following day. This has never been done before; it is a new practice inaugurated this year to give explanations when we give notice of resolutions.

Vancouver Harbour Commission

pose to move that it is expedient that a loan be m,ade to the harbour commission of Montreal of an amount not exceeding $12,000,000. The loan is made under the same conditions as previous loans have been made to this harbour commission; there is no change at all. The contention is that additional works are required to meet the developments of the port of Montreal, and we propose to make a loan on which they will have to pay interest, as they have paid interest on the money advanced previously.
