I think the bill will have to be printed in English and French before it can be given second reading. I am afraid someone might object if that were not done.

Hon. ROBERT WEIR (Minister of Agriculture) :
In reply to a question asked yesterday by the hon. member for Weyburn (Mr. Young), based on a telegram he received, I may say that the marketing board has advanced money to organizations in western Canada, with definite conditions attached to the advancing of such money. None of these conditions state that it is for the purpose of promotion.
