Mr. Coldwell:

That is the whole point.

Mr. Coldwell:

I am sure there is.

Mr. M. J. Coldwell (Roseiown-Biggar):

Is

it not usual when an appointment of this description is made by order in council to have the terms of reference tabled and given to parliament? Is this not a most unusual

procedure, showing entire disregard for the regular parliamentary procedure?

Mr. Coldwell:

I said I would not mention the pipe line question again. Don't provoke me.

Mr. Speaker, I think we have had a very interesting day. We have had a very tiring day. I always find it a little tiring and trying to listen to very long speeches and we have had them today. However, I suppose that the speakers are justified in putting on the record all that they can find to put on, and I should not think that much more could be found to put on the record on some future occasion. The amendment is before the house. I suggest it is a good amendment and that everyone in this house should vote for it.

Mr. M. J. Coldwell (Roseiown-Biggar):

Mr. Speaker, the house has listened to some long speeches today, in fact two of them, and I do not propose to speak at any great length tonight and to take up the various points made either by the Prime Minister (Mr. Diefenbaker) or by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr. Pearson). But I am going to say to the Prime Minister that I want to congratulate him first of all on his restoration to health, which I forgot to do this afternoon, and second, on the good guess he made. Of course, it was so obvious that no one could really miss it.

I must say that I was surprised at the Leader of the Opposition moving an amendment of this description containing the words which the Prime Minister pointed out a few minutes ago. I wonder whether the Leader of the Opposition and the Liberal party have forgotten last June.
