Mr. F. E. LENNARD (Wentworth):

In view of the fact that there will be no mail delivery in the province of Quebec to-day, and as it as a statutory holiday in that province, why was there one full letter carrier delivery in Hamilton, Ontario, on May 24, which was also a statutory holiday?

Hon. W. D. EULER (Acting Postmaster General):

Mr. Speaker, the hon. member's question is no doubt based on a reply I gave yesterday to a question by the hon. member for Quebec-Montmorency (Mr. Lacroix). I had not had notice of the question asked yesterday, and I stated I was not quite sure of the facts. I should have said, however, that to-day there will be no carrier delivery in Quebec city, that there would be full delivery in the cities of Montreal and St. John, and a partial or no delivery whatsoever in other places, according to the discretion to be exercised by the postmasters at those various points.

_ With regard to the one delivery on May 24 in the city of Hamilton may I say that the course taken there was the one followed generally throughout the whole of Canada. Ascension day is not a statutory or legal holiday, but it is observed generally as a religious day in the province of Quebec. For that reason discretion was given the postmasters as indicated in my reply of yesterday.

Mr. T. L. CHURCH (Rroadview):

Mr. Speaker, I wish to make a correction in connection with the report appearing at page 3233 of Hansard. I had intended calling the attention of the house to the point yesterday, but was prevented from doing so just when the message was received from the Senate. The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Gardiner) is reported to have said:

I well remember that on one occasion the hon. member for Broadview (Mr. Church) moved an amendment to the motion to go into supply which took up all that evening, so that it was not possible to get my estimates before the house.

That is not correct. I never at any time made a motion upon going into supply; it was the hon. member for St. Paul's (Mr. Ross).
