Mr. Fournier (Hull):
On Monday as the first item we will take up Bill No. 393, to readjust the representation in the House of Commons.
Mr. Fleming:
Period.
Mr. Fournier (Hull):
Then we will consider the estimates.
Mr. Cardiff:
Not on Monday; not as long as I am here.
Mr. Fournier (Hull):
We shall start with post office estimates and then take agriculture, national revenue and the balance of the items.
Mr. Drew:
Just so hon. members may make their arrangements accordingly, what is the government planning with regard to July 1?
Work.
Mr. Fournier (Hull):
Adjourning at 11 o'clock, I suppose. This is for Monday.
Mr. Drew:
I know. But what about July 1?
Mr. Fournier (Hull):
Oh, July 1?
Mr. Fleming:
You have heard of that day, I suppose?
Mr. Fournier (Hull):
I thought we would adjourn for good Monday night.
Oh, no.
Mr. Fournier (Hull):
If we do not, we shall continue to sit on Dominion day. That will be one way of celebrating the day.
Mr. Drew:
I asked the question having regard to the fact that I believe a number of members may perhaps be making arrangements with regard to the official garden party.
Mr. Fournier (Hull):
The intention was to sit on July 1.
It being five minutes after eleven o'clock the house adjourned, without question put, pursuant to standing order. [The following items were passed in committee of supply]:
