Right Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (Leader of the Opposition):

During the

Imperial economic conference certain volumes of statistics were compiled for the use of members of the conference-one on the trade of Canada with British Empire countries and the United States, another comprising statistical abstracts of trade with British Empire countries, and another relating to the trade of Canada with Australia and the other dominions. May I ask the Prime Minister whether copies of these statistical documents are to be made available for members of the house in connection with the consideration of these various treaties.

enable a copy to be available for each member of the house, but I will endeavour to secure complete copies of them and lay them on the table tomorrow, so that there will be at least one copy. If there are more available. I shall have great pleasure in laying them on the table.

Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

I feel that they are very important public documents and if each member could be furnished with a copy I think it would be of advantage to all concerned.

Mr. BENNETT:

They were prepared, like other documents, for use at the conference. It has never been the practice that such documents be laid upon the table or that they be made available for general use. If there are copies available for general use I shall be glad to make them available, but the type obviously has been broken up and we would hardly incur the expense of reprinting. There may be copies and to that extent I shall make them available.

1. What are the names of senators who having their electoral division in the district of Quebec reside in said district or in the division they represent?

2. What are the names of the senators who reside outside of the geographic district of Quebec where said electoral divisions are located?

Mr. BENNETT:

This question can hardly be asked properly in this chamber. The Senate would be the proper branch of parliament in which to ask the question, I think.

Mr. SPEAKER:

Question No. 14 would

more properly be asked in the Senate and consequently it will be dropped from the order paper.

Question dropped.

1. Did the government receive a request from the city of Montreal for a contribution to carry out certain works in order to help the unemployed ?

2. If so, what is the intention of the government as regards such a request to contribute?

3. Is the government aware that the Quebec government undertook to make such a contribution providing the Dominion government undertook to do its share?
