Mr. ROSS (St. Paul's):

My question is this. In view of what Mr. Patteson said, is the government aware of the parlous condition of Canadian commercial interests in that country arising out of economic forces and the prevailing foreign exchange situation, and has the government given consideration to the relaxation of some of the controls, restrictions and prohibitions so that Canadians may buy more British goods, which will meet our shortage here and help our foreign exchange situation? If so, what consideration has been given?

Has the minister or any other minister had no representations from Mr. Patteson, retiring president of the Canadian chamber of commerce in Great Britain, to that effect?

I think I should say a few words in reply to some of the statements that have been made. I am not sure that I should do so, but in any event my remarks should be very brief.

Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. ILSLEY:

I shall just say a word about the amendment. I will accept the amendment. It is merely an empowering amendment. It is understood of course that it is not in any sense a direction to the committee. It merely gives the committee power to make certain recommendations to the House of Commons, which it may or may not choose to make, and so long as that point is clearly understood I accept the amendment.
