Right Hon. W. L.

Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

I have no objection, but it is a purely formal motion. However, it can stand until the leader of the opposition (Mr. Bennett) is here. I see that

the hon. leader of the opposition is in his seat at the moment, and I would therefore mote the motion now. As I explained, its purpose is simply to enable us to proceed should we so desire with the budget debate on Thursday and Friday with Mr. Speaker in the chair.

Hon. R. B. BENNETT (Leader of the Opposition):

The only point I had in mind

when thinking over the matter this morning was whether it might not be desirable to discontinue the discussion on the budget and go ahead with supply, rather than leave all the supply to be dealt with at the end of the session and then perhaps not be properly considered. It was in my mind whether that course would not be more in the public interest so far as time is concerned.

Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

The motion

would permit us to proceed with ways and means if we so desired, but we also have the right to proceed with supply, and I shall be glad to confer with my hon. friend as to what may be best to do in that regard.

Mr. CARDIN:

One object of this bill is

to remove a doubt as to the authority of the inspecting officer to inspect containers of fish before they are put on the market. A second amendment is to include under the act the inspection of fish oils and their containers. A third amendment provides for a change in the Inspection and Sale Act. At the present time the inspection of fish oil is made by the Department of Agriculture under the Inspection and Sale Act, which is administered by that department. That department agrees that this inspection should come under the

Vancouver Harbour

authority of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, and we are providing for a change in the law accordingly.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first and second times.

NATIONAL PARKS

Hon. CHARLES STEWART (Minister of the Interior) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 135, respecting national parks. He said: Mr. Speaker, the object of the bill is to establish the boundaries of the national parks, particularly those of the Banff and the Jasper parks in Alberta. It is not proposed to change any of the existing regulations, but to embody some of them in statutory form. Generally, the purpose is to place our national parks more under the control of parliament than they have been in the past. I will make a more extended explanation on the second reading of the bill. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
