M'r, DUNNING: Perhaps my hon. friend will agree to include, along with the Department of Railways, the Canadian National Railways. If that were done all the information respecting the matter would come down at the same time. This would be more convenient for the house and for everyone concerned. If the words " Canadian National Railways " were inserted after the words " Department of Railways," in the fourth line, it would accomplish the object. The government is very anxious to bring down the papers, and this amendment would enable it to submit them all at the same time.
