It included newspaper advertising.

Mr. PARMELEE.

Hon. gentlemen on the other side persist in confusing accounts that are paid for printing and accounts that are paid for advertising. As a matter of fact, a very small portion of the public printing is done outside the Bureau, and when it is done outside the Bureau it is because the Bureau is congested with work and is not able to turn it out in proper time and shape. The Bureau is fairly well equipped. As everybody knows, this is a growing time, and during the last ten or fifteen years the amount of printing' done for parliament has probably doubled, while the Bureau has not been increased in order to keep pace with the increased public printing and the printing of all sorts in connection with the departments of the government. Now, when the hon. member for Leeds (Mr. Taylor) says tbat the Montreal ' Herald ' has been paid $100,000 a year for printing and advertising, he does not make the distinction between printing and advertising. But I venture to say that he is entirely wrong in his figures. The

Mr. PARMELEE.

That is where the hon. member (Mr. Sproule) has been led astray. He has not separated the two accounts. In the Auditor General's Report appears what is paid to each newspaper receiving the government patronage. But a very large proportion of that is for advertising and not for printing.

Mr. PARMELEE.

Bring it up in the Public Accounts Committee.

Mr. PARMELEE.
