Mr. McCREARY.

I suppose not. But the Manitoba government assumed respons-bility for $10,000 a mile on a portion and $20,000 on another portion. I may not be correct in my contention, but I want to have It shown that I am not correct. I want to see that the Manitoba government will not have to guarantee interest on $25,000 per mile instead of $10,000. I want to see that the farmers of Manitoba who are supposed to get the benefit of that road will not have to pay interest on that extra bonding per mile. It is the duty of the Minister of Railways to clear up the point. He was thoroughly cognisant of the matter when it came before the Railway Committee and I have no doubt he will be able to explain.
