Mr. MacNICOL:
Where is the dredging to be done?
Hon. ALPHONSE FOURNIER (Minister of Public Works):
Does the hon. member want the complete list?
Mr. MacNICOL:
The areas would be sufficient. ,
Mr. FOURNIER (Hull):
Dredge No. 2 will do dredging at Beach Point, Summerside, Victoria, Grand Etang and Margaree Harbour. Dredge No. 12 will do dredging at Little Shippigan, Miscou, St. Simon and Wood Islands. Dredge No. 14 will do dredging at Rocky Point, Wood Islands, Little Sands, Graham's Pond, Launching and Wood Islands. Dredge No. 15 will do dredging at Vogler's Cove, Little Harbour, Appletree Cove-
Mr. MacNICOL:
That will be sufficient. I was especially interested in the proposal in connection with the draught of the boats at Wood Island. The department is going to dredge the harbour at Wood Island?
Mr. FOURNIER (Hull):
Yes.
Item agreed to. Dredging- SOT. Ontario and Quebec, $940,010.
Mr. TUSTIN:
Some months ago the St. Lawrence-Kingston pilots association wrote to the Department of Public Works requesting that dredging be done at Indian Point. A
Supply-Public 1 Vorks
short time ago the minister's secretary advised that there had been an appropriation for soundings to be made. Will that dredging be done this summer?
Mr. FOURNIER (Hull):
I find that
dredging is to be done at Salmon Point. Would Salmon Point and Indian Point be the same?
Mr. TUSTIN:
Yes.
Mr. FOURNIER (Hull):
It is down for
dredging this season.
Mr. SENN:
Is any dredging to be done
at a small harbour called Nanticoke creek on lake Erie? The minister's officials from the London district looked over the harbour and recommended that something should be done. It was to have been done last fall. Does that work come under this vote or under some other?
Mr. FOURNIER (Hull):
Does it go
under another name? I have a list of projects in Ontario here, but I cannot find that name.
Mr. SENN:
I think that is the name. I
understand that it was impossible to get a dredge in there last fall. It was a small undertaking, and no dredge could be found to go in. It might possibly be called Sandusk.
