Mr. Murphy:

Mr. Speaker-

Mr. Murphy:

May I be permitted to make an observation, Mr. Speaker. May I point out to the hon. member who finds it difficult to contain himself, that the navigation season opens immediately and what the governments are endeavouring to do, I think, is to work jointly with the shipping companies to eliminate this evil.

Mr. J. W. Murphy (Lamblon West):

Mr. Speaker, I should like to direct a question to the Minister of Transport. This matter also concerns the Minister of National Health and Welfare. As I have not given notice of this question, perhaps they would take this question as notice. Could the ministers bring the house up to date on what has been done in the past few months in co-operation with the United States federal government toward the elimination of oil pollution on the great lakes?

Mr. Murphy:

Mention the provincial grants, then.

Mr. J. W. Murphy (Lambton West):

I wish to direct a question to the Prime Minister. Has he any comment to make on the remarks made at 10 o'clock last night on the "News Magazine" program of the C.B.C. by a Senator Keating from New York, who said he found it disappointing that Canada did not go along with the United States trade embargo? The senator also criticized the Canadian people and the government of Canada.
