Liberal

Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

I am sure my hon. friend will not mind my mentioning that it has been the custom as long as I have been in the house for the leader of the opposition, when he intends to ask an important question on the orders of the day, to give notice if possible to the Prime Minister in advance. I have not thus far had from my hon. friend any notice of any question he has asked. I shall be happy to answer immediately any question I can, but I hope I shall not be expected to encounter a sort of catechism at the opening of the house each day.
