Richard Bedford Bennett (Prime Minister; Minister of Finance and Receiver General; President of the Privy Council; Secretary of State for External Affairs)
Conservative (1867-1942)
Mr. BENNETT:
Perhaps I should have added to that sentence and said unless the resolutions had been considered by a committee of the house. These resolutions are now before the committee of the house, and the proper course is to take no further step until the committee have completed consideration of the resolutions which were placed in the votes and proceedings the other evening and proceeded with yesterday by consent of the house, for which I thanked the right hon. gentleman yesterday since it enabled us to advance practically all the items. I think there are very few items outstanding; we will dispose of those this afternoon and then take the further step in connection with the bill.
