February 2, 1939 (18th Parliament, 4th Session)

Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

My hon. friend is quite right in saying that the motion is debatable, and that is the reason I interrupted the hon. member to draw to his attention the fact that he could not debate it, according to the resolution which the house has already passed, until we have disposed of the debate on the address. If he wishes to make a formal motion the house can debate the motion, or decline to, as it wishes: the documents are on the table and they can be referred to the committee at once.
