Mr. GRAYDON:

Is the minister referring to the Dumoulin case?

Mr. ST. LAURENT: No. I saw no report of what the leader of the opposition refers to as the Dumoulin case, that I asked to have investigated. I was referring to the case to which the hon. member for Parkdale referred, that of Jacques Sauriol, whose speech was reported as having been made on July 9.

Mr. GRAYDON:

The reason why I asked is that Mr. Dumoulin is a member of the government of Quebec-at least, a supporter of the government of that province. To put the attorney general, who is also of the same political faith and belongs to the same party, on that case, I should think would add complications which would be very serious. I am hopeful that the attorney general's advice will

not be accepted too readily by the Minister of Justice, and I am also hopeful that the investigation will not take too long.

Item stands.

Progress reported.
