Mr. Cote (Matapedia-Malane):

This bill is intended to repeal the Dominion Day Act and substitute therefor a Canada day act. The changes are in the title and section 2, where the word "Canada" is substituted for the word "Dominion". For the benefit of those who were not here in the last parliament I should like to inform them that the same bill was introduced in the House of Commons on the 27th day of March, 1946, and was passed on the 4th day of April, 1946.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
