Milton Fowler Gregg (Minister of Veterans Affairs)

Liberal

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.

MOTION FOR PAPERS

DOMINION-PROVINCIAL CONFERENCE, 1936 VERBATIM REPORT

IND

Jean-François Pouliot

Independent Liberal

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 Is this a sufficient lapse of time to enable it to be called an historical document?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?
