Mr. MOTHER WELL:

That is the way it works.

Mr. MOTHERW ELL:

The practice simply grew up, like Topsy, overnight as it were, until finally it was legalized. Later we began to discover the evils of the practice. As a matter of fact, shorts as we have them now, even without screenings, are not much else than fine bran. Some people like things mixed, but there is no reason why we should not know what we are getting in our by-products from the mill, and they should be standardized like everything else.

Mr. BO WELL:

The resolution now before the committee is to give effect to the report of the Committee on Pensions which has been considering this matter ever since the House opened, and upon this report the Government will introduce the Bill which that committee has already prepared and reported to the House.

Hon. Mr. ROW ERL:

If my hon. friend

will permit me-what I said was that in regulating packers and cold storage warehouses we had passed more drastic regulations and had more strictly limited their profits than any other country in the world.

Mr. CAR YELL:

It is not very often that I heartily congratulate this Government on the measures it introduces, but I do so on this occasion. I have some objection to the details, but to my mind the principle is such a step in the right direction that we can very well forgive the Government for any error of detail it may make. I can hardly forgive my hon. friend from Halifax (Mr. A. K. Maclean) for reminding the minister that he stated some time ago that this income tax could not be worked out, because that was almost finding fault with the minister, or trying to point to some of his delinquencies in the past.
