Mr. MOTHERWELL:

Six municipalities

in Last Mountain formed the next restricted area, and that has not been extended, although there are applications in for its en-

Immigration Act

largement. Next, we established a small area in New Brunswick about ten miles out from the city of Fredericton, containing about two or three thousand cattle. A year ago this spring Prince Edward county in Ontario was organized as the first area of this nature in this province. In Nova Scotia we have practically the whole province, in hand, with the exception of Cape Breton island. Twenty-nine veterinarians have been there since last October, and will continue possibly until about July 1. It is considered that Cape Breton is sufficiently segregated from the rest of the province to avoid any risk of contagion being spread to the mainland from there. The farmers of Cape Breton island are not quite ready to ask for this service until they see how it results in the other parts of the province. I think all the information in connection with this matter is contained in very concise form in a return to an inquiry by the hon. member for Bow River (Mr. Garland).

Progress reported.
