Hon. W. D. EULER (Minister of Trade and Commerce):

Mr. Speaker, on Friday last the right hon. the leader of the opposition (Mr. Bennett) asked for certain information with regard to certain operations of the wheat board in connection with the supplying of seed wheat to the province of Saskatchewan. He made reference then to a car of wheat which had been delivered to a place called Coleville. I have a telegram with regard to that matter which I should like to read to the house. It is as follows:

Referring telephone conversation and reference to Coleville car. This small car of wheat ordered shipped to Coleville by Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture May ninth. Shipment was made May eleventh. We were advised by department this car had been ordered by a rural municipality in error and were instructed night of May twentieth to rebill to Lakehead. Instructions given railway morning May twenty-first and situation immediately dealt with. Accordingly this car arrived at Fort William May thirty-first.

My right hon. friend stated that according to the weekly statement by the wheat board there were apparently some two million bushels of seed wheat still left in the hands of the government.

Mr. EULER:

Of wheat, yes. While according to the weekly statement of May 21 rendered to the department there was apparently a stock of wheat of something over two million bushels, the fact is that there is no wheat in stock. The wheat has all been disposed of as seed wheat. The reason it still appears on the statement is that it is the practice of the wheat board generally to have it appear, unless the wheat has actually been invoiced to a purchaser. It has all been sold, but not all invoiced.

A further question asked by my right hon. friend was with regard to cash on hand. I am informed by the chairman that it is impossible to make an accurate statement as a number of adjustments have still to be made.

Mr. Speaker, it is not open to hon. members to propound questions on the floor of the house in this way. As a matter of fact I know nothing about it, never saw it and I do not know what is in it. The hon. member has no right to catechize me-

Right Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (Prime Minister):

Mr. Speaker, I understand the whips have concurred among themselves, and it appears to be the general wish of hon. members that the house should sit on Thursday. Last year the house in Great Britain sat on June 9, the king's birthday, and presumably would do so this year but for the fact that the house is in recess at the present time.
