Mr. COLD WELL@

May we expect an early decision and statement?

Mr. ST. LAURENT: Well, it is a matter of considerable importance, and the setting up of this commission is something which will have to be done in a form that it will not be easy to change afterward. There will be a large number of bodies interested in educational, scientific and cultural matters who will be concerned; and it will not be easy, after the plan has been announced and the commission has been set up, to modify its composition. We therefore feel that we should take considerable care and be sure that we are getting it in the form in which it will be convenient to have it permanently established.

Mr. J. H. BLACKMORE (Lethbridge):

I desire to ask three questions of the Minister of Finance. I have not given him notice of these, so perhaps they will have to remain as notices of motion.

1. Has the minister investigated to find out how many acres of beet contracts the Canada and Dominion Sugar Company had signed up by the close of May 1?

2. Will the minister investigate before Monday, May 5, at three o'clock and report to the house on Monday afternoon?

Mr. SPEAKER:

Order. As the hon. member knows, it is not in order for him to ask oral questions on matters which are not urgent. I would suggest to him that as there is no urgency in this matter, he should put his questions on the order paper.

Mr. BLACKMORE:

May I point out to Your Honour that 50 million pounds of sugar are involved for Canada in 1947, and the urgency is that if these beet contracts are not signed up immediately, it will be too late.
