Mr. MARTIN:

As we come to each item, I shall be glad to give that information without being prompted.

Mr. FLEMING:

Very well. Will the minister give the total?

Mr. MARTIN:

I will give my hon. friend anything he asks for.

Mr. FLEMING:

Will he give us the total of expenses now?

Mr. MARTIN:

When we come to each item I shall be glad to give the information on it.

Mr. FLEMING:

The minister is talking about giving it on each item.

Mr. MARTIN:

Yes.

Mr. FLEMING:

I am talking about giving the total now.

Mr. MARTIN:

I shall be glad to give the information with regard to each item as we come' to it. My hon. friend and I had the same argument last year. I intend to give him the information he wants, but not in the form in which he wants it, because I do not think it is the most practical way of doing it.

Mr. FLEMING:

When shall we get the total of expenditures, not the figures segregated into items?

Mr. MARTIN:

After the last item.

Progress reported.

Mr. MacNICOL:

What will be the business on Monday?

Mr. FOURNIER (Hull):

If the Minister of Finance is here, we shall consider the two resolutions standing in his name, the one concerning the Tariff Board Act and the other to authorize the Canadian National Railways to issue securities to meet capital expenditures or capital indebtedness. Then we shall proceed with the following bills: No. 334, to amend the Land Titles Act; No. 340, respecting the supplying of electrical power in the Northwest Territories; No. 341, to amend the Yukon Act; No. 337, to amend the criminal code.

When these have been considered we shall move to go into supply, and call one new department. Then we shall proceed with the estimates of the Department of National Health and Welfare, Trade and Commerce, Reconstruction and Supply; but I cannot say in which order we shall take these different matters.

Mr. KNOWLES:

Does the minister mean merely that he does not know in what order the departments in supply will be taken, but that the other matters will be taken in the order indicated?

Mr. FOURNIER (Hull):

I am not sure whether we can proceed first with the resolutions or the bills. Three bills are in the name of the Minister of Mines and Resources, and one is in the name of the Minister of Justice. I cannot say exactly the order in which they will be taken. However we shall try to take them some time during the day.

Mr. ADAMSON:

Which new department will be taken?

Mr. FOURNIER (Hull):

The Prime Minister's office.

It being five minutes after eleven o'clock, the house adjourned, without question put, pursuant to standing order.
