Right Hon. R. B. BENNETT (Prime Minister):

I have pleasure in laying upon the table two copies of the report of the royal commission to inquire into railways and transportation in Canada. The French copy is not yet completed, the translation is in process of being made; it is hoped that if there is no interference with the present rate of speed it will be completed in a few days.

I desire to move, seconded by Mr. Guthrie:

That six hundred copies in the English language and two hundred copies in the French language of the report of the royal commission

Questions

to inquire into railways and transportation in Canada, laid on the table of the house this day, be printed forthwith; and that standing order sixty-four be suspended in relation thereto.
