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

Mr. Speaker, the house will remember that the other day I stated that I hoped to be able to make a statement on foreign affairs to-morrow. I am prepared to make that statement, and would like to do so on the motion to go into committee of supply on the estimates of the Department

of External Affairs, which have not yet been called. Thursday is a day upon which His Honour the Speaker leaves the chair without any question being put, and if I am to have the opportunity of making a statement in the manner I have suggested, which I imagine would best meet the convenience of the house, it will be necessary to obtain the unanimous consent of the house to suspend standing order 28. With the consent of the house, therefore, I move:

That standing order 28 be suspended in relation to the committee of supply with respect to the sittings of this house on Thursday and Friday the 30th and 31st March, 1939.

Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

The procedure adopted last year, and in previous years, was to have a statement made in the first instance by the Secretary of State for External Affairs while His Honour the Speaker was in the chair, and then have the debate proceed with the Speaker in the chair. When the debate concludes we will then go into committee on the estimates of the Department of External Affairs, at which time detailed discussion can take place, as it always does, in the form of questions and answers.
