April 30, 1903 (9th Parliament, 3rd Session)

With regard to the question put by the hon. member for Victoria, N.S. (Hon. Mr. Ross) that the party composed of members of the British parliament, Cords and Commoners, who are to visit Canada in the month of August next, should not forego a visit to the maritime provinces, I would suppose that the maritime provinces required no advertisement. I should presume that they jvould not visit Canada without going to the maritime provinces also. The government, as my bon. friend knows, has nothing at all to do either officially or unofficially with this visit. But if by any word of mine or of my colleagues, we can further the end of my hon. friend, I would be glad to do so.
