There is very little explanation. The title of the bill really indicates its purpose. It is to ratify and confirm certain agreements between the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian National Railways for the joint use of terminals and premises of the Canadian Pacific Railway in Regina.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
