Mr. W. M. Benidickson (Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Transport):

The

hon. member was good enough to give the department notice of this question; but in view of the fact that this question was raised on the estimates and the hon. member is reported as estimating that it would involve an expenditure of only $600 or $700; in view of the fact that the Minister of Transport indicated that this was being considered as a 1951 budget proposition for the Canadian National Railways, and in view of Your Honour's recent instructions, I wait for you, sir, to indicate whether or not an answer should be given now, or whether the question should be placed upon the order paper.
