Mr. Speaker, I should like to draw the attention of the Postmaster General (Mr. Veniot) to the return which was placed on the table recently in connection with the dismissal of Mr. Whittaker, postmaster at Simcoe. This return does not appear to be complete. Will the Postmaster General have any objection to placing the original file on the table?
