Mr. Speaker:

May I inform the house that the committee on procedure has its first report in the course of preparation, in English and in French. I had hoped to be able to present it to the house now. If it should be ready in the course of the afternoon, would the house permit me to present it when it is ready?

Hon. Alvin Hamilton (Minister of Agriculture):

I wish to table the text of the 1962 international wheat agreement in its original version, which is in English. I am also tabling a French translation. For the convenience of hon. members I ask leave to have the text of the agreemeent published as an appendix to today's Hansard. Following the usual practice, both houses of parliament will be asked to approve by resolution Canada's ratification of the agreement.

Mr. Speaker:

May I have leave to present a further problem. The Minister of Agriculture presented today, and got leave of the house to have printed as a schedule to Hansard, a very lengthy document. Hansard today will be lengthy enough without the addition of a further 50 pages and, subject to the approval of the house, I have taken the liberty of having this document printed as an appendix to tomorrow's Hansard rather than today's. Is it agreed?

Right Hon. J. G. Diefenbaker (Prime Minister):

Mr. Speaker, as the house is aware there is a vacancy on the international joint commission. I wish to announce that the governor in council has today appointed Mr. Arnold D. P. Heeney, presently our ambassador to the United States, to that position. His appointment becomes effective on the 15th of this month.

Mr. Heeney will remain for a few days as ambassador in Washington before returning to Ottawa. Naturally I am very pleased that Mr. Heeney has accepted this position. The house is fully aware of his distinguished record and qualifications. As a student and teacher of international legal matters, as one time secretary to the cabinet, as former under secretary of state for external affairs and as ambassador to the United States, he has for many years been concerned with those matters which will come under his interest and consideration in this new position.
