Mr. M. J. Coldwell (Roseiown-Biggar):

Mr. Speaker, in connection with the resignation of a minister or a high official, letters are sometimes read. The minister has tabled the letters in this case. Could they be printed in Hansard so that hon. members might have access to them?

Clarence Decatur Howe (Minister of Trade and Commerce)

Liberal

Mr. Howe:

No; the custom is to table letters of resignation. It is not the custom to print such correspondence in the records of the house. This is the resignation of an officer of a department. The letters have been tabled, and my hon. friend can get them from the Clerk.

Is there any reason why they should not be read by the minister, if they are not printed in Hansard?

Mr. Harris (Danforih):

As one minister seems to have one idea in the matter, and another senior member has another, let us clarify the situation and get this group together as one unit. I think the Minister of Justice should clarify the situation. Let us have it.
