Questions
Mr. NICHOLSON:
Will the Department of Agriculture be responsible for the registration of greyhound racing stock as the department is now responsible for the registration of race horses?
Mr. MeCUBBIN: The Department of Agriculture will not be responsible for the registration of greyhound racing stock any more than it is now responsible for the registration of race horses, as such. The function of the department in regard to registration consists in the examination and approval of certificates of registration duly issued by a breed association affiliated with Canadian national livestock records. Eligibility for registration is determined by the ancestry of the individual animal through several generations of breeding, not by its use for racing purposes.
