Mr. HOWE:

The purpose of this bill is to give effect to the convention adopted at Warsaw, in 1929 to unify the rules for international carriage of goods and passengers by air. This convention has been adopted by Great Britain, Ireland, the United States, Mexico and practically all European countries. In view of the increase in international carriage by air it is felt that Canada should ratify this convention. The bill provides that in addition to governing international carriage by air the provisions of the Warsaw convention can by order in council be applied to carriage by air within Canada. The bill also provides for limitation of liability for loss of passengers and baggage.

Mr. EULER:

This bill proposes a pretty general revision of the grain act. It involves

Questions

some seventy amendments. Most of these merely provide for changes in the method of procedure or something of the kind. I could give a fuller explanation if it were desired at this time, but in view of the fact that it is proposed that the bill be referred to a committee, probably the standing committee on agriculture, I suggest it can be more fully discussed there, especially since members of the board of grain commissioners will be present, and possibly others may be heard as well.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
