April 8, 1910 (11th Parliament, 2nd Session)

Mr. SPROULE.

If the law clerk holds that opinion, of course his opinion ought to be of more value than that of a layman like myself. There was another question which was brought to the attention of the minister when the Bill was under discussion, and one that seems to me to be worthy of consideration, and that is whether it would be advisable to introduce a clause to limit the time during which food may be kept in cold storage. I still think, especially in view of the information we have been receiving from the United States within the last few months, that this is a desirable subject of legislation, and one that should receive early attention from the minister and the government. I would ask the minister if the government have made up their mind to introduce legislation, for this purpose at any time in the near future?
