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

Several of my colleagues have suggested that it might be desirable to print the report of the Bank of Canada on the Saskatchewan situation. It is a matter of grave public interest and I think the suggestion is not unreasonable having regard to the importance of the matter from the point of view of the nation as a whole as well as of the community concerned. Perhaps the minister would consider whether or not the report can be printed.

Mr. DUNNING:

The bank is now beginning an examination with respect to the province of Alberta. I will look into the question whether it is practicable and desirable to print the report separately. If any are printed I think it will be agreed that all should be.
