William Stevens Fielding (Minister of Finance and Receiver General)
Liberal
Mr. FIELDING.
I can only say to my hon. friend that I do not think the good purpose that he has in view, and that we all must have in view, would be advanced by making any statement at the present time. The matters in dispute remain as matters for friendly negotiations, and beyond that it would not be expedient to make a statement at this moment. At an early date I hope to give the House fuller and better information.
