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

Mr. Speaker, the bills have gone from this house to the other, and I assume they will be passed by the other house

as they are supply bills. According to the announcement made this afternoon His Excellency will be prepared to have royal assent given to the measures on Monday afternoon at three o'clock. Word will come from His Excellency to that effect at any time and I think it might be well for the sitting to be suspended pending the receipt of that message. That does not mean that all hon. members will have to wait in their seats until that hour, but it would be well I think that the word should come from His Excellency this evening and be read by the Speaker so that hon. members will be prepared for royal assent on Monday afternoon at three o'clock. I accordingly move that the sitting of the house be now suspended during pleasure.
