March 21, 1924 (14th Parliament, 3rd Session)

Mr. MEIGHEN:

There are two other
questions on another point which the Prime Minister referred to, namel>
the point of the formality of the execution. First, how is it determined whether a treaty is bilateral, affecting one part or dominion alone? What precautions are taken to make sure of that? Second, in the event of its being found to be a bilateral treaty affecting one part alone, upon whose recommendation does His Majesty act in authorising the execution by the appropriate dominion representative?
