Mr. CHAMBERS:

May I point out briefly that the private bills committee appointed three of its members to sit with the senate divorce committee which considered the divorce bills. Of the three members so named I had the pleasure-doubtful as it may have been-to be one. May I assure the committee that on every possible occasion I attended before the senate committee. The senators-

Mr. CHAMBERS:

-were most courteous in their reception of us, and we had an opportunity of cross-examining witnesses, if we so desired. As a result, I would say that these bills have been carefully watched, not only in the committee of the senate, but in the private bills committee of this house.

Mr. PERLEY:

Mr. Chairman, at this stage perhaps I might be permitted to reply to a statement made by the Minister of Trade and Commerce (Mr. MacKinnon) this afternoon. He referred to the fact that conferences had been held with certain western men and that there had been meetings with the pool and with representatives of rural municipalities in the three prairie provinces, and then he read a number of press clippings to which I shall not refer because it was more or less political propaganda. He concluded by saying-

The CHAIRMAN:

Order. We have had something like fifteen hours of discussion on the bill. Standing order 58, section 2, directs that the committee must confine itself strictly to each clause of the bill as it comes under consideration and that each section of the bill shall be considered separately. The hon. member could make his general statement on the third reading, but I do not think it would be in order for him to make it in committee when we are considering the bill clause by clause.
