April 13, 1945 (19th Parliament, 6th Session)

Mr. STIRLING:

Am I right in believing
that the five-twelfths plus the one-sixth plus the one-twelfth, plus the items that have been

passed already, bear a distinct relation to the total estimates of over $1,000,000,000? I should have thought that as we were proposing to vote five-twelfths of the amount required for the civil estimates there would be an exact relation between that sum and this total of $1,023,621,597.
