Mr. MIOHAUD:

I should like to ask the hon. member a question with respect to potatoes. I understand he implies that the government had interfered at that time with the marketing of potatoes. I am not quite clear on the point he makes, and I would ask him to state clearly if he did make that statement.

Mr. MIOHAUD:

Of the number who got relief, 2,411 of the 8,400 applications, how many are from New Brunswick and how many from the county of Restigouche? As far as I know there have been a dozen or so applications in my county and no landlord has had any relief.

Mr. MICHAUD:

I desire to lay on the

table of the house-
