2. Of such applicants, by provinces, how many were enlisted in the armed forces as being in "A" category?

Mr. Gregg:

The records of the department are not maintained to show statistically the category in which applicants for pension were enlisted in the armed forces. The answer to part 2 cannot be secured until after the cases referred to in part 1 have been identified, when each file would require to be drawn and examined individually, thus involving a great amount, of time, labour and cost. The hon. member who asks the question has agreed that, if the cost should be found to be substantial, part 2 of the question may be answered by stating that statistical records do not reflect the information. Subject to this reservation, the question may pass as an order for return.

Mr. Pouliot:

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a question of privilege. The question is, how long does it take to give the touch of history to any public paper? I shall make myself clear. This motion refers to a paper that dates back nearly thirteen years. Is this a sufficient lapse of time to enable it to be called an historical document? What period of time must elapse before a public paper may be given to the public?

Mr. Speaker:

Order. I am sorry to interrupt the hon. member, but there is no motion before the house. If the hon. member wishes to speak on a question of privilege, of course that is a different matter.

Mr. Poulioi:

Would Your Honour be kind enough to put the motion to the house?
