Mr. THOMAS REID (New Westminster):

I desire to ask the Minister of Labour a question based on a press dispatch to the effect that national selective service is endeavouring to procure help from other provinces for work in industry on the Pacific coast, with the assurance given them of permanent employment following the end of the war. My question to the minister is: Are such steps being taken, and if so, is the same guarantee being given to all those who have left British Columbia?
