Mr. MACKENZIE KING:

I have in

mind the same object exactly as the people of the country, to which my hon. friend has referred, had in mind when they enacted their legislation, namely, to have a restriction that will be effective. If there is any meaning to the English language at all, the term "effective restriction" comes as near as anything that I can think of to describing what has been aimed at where it has been sought to bring about an effective restriction of any character. I cannot find words to describe anything short of exclusion other than the words "effective restriction".

Hon. J. H. KING (East Kootenay, Minister of Public Works):

The hon. member for Lincoln (Mr. Chaplin) inquired yesterday with regard to St. Catharines. In 1919-20 an appropriation of $28,000 was voted for an addition to the public building in that city, but was allowed to lapse. An appropriation of $34,000 was included in the estimates for 1920-21, but after it had been given some consideration it was dropped, and since then it has not been further considered. In reply to the hon. member for Hamilton (Mr. Stewart), I beg to table the correspondence with regard to public property and public building sites in Hamilton. The hon. member for South Wellington (Mr. Guthrie) asked that a statement be given with regard to the ap-

Hon. J. H. KING (Kootenay, Minister of Public Works) :

This amount is required to complete the water-proofing, facing of the walls and construction of stone foundation and undergrading. Part of the work has already been contracted for. The amount required for completion of the contract is $3,219; for drainage and driveway, $1,300 and contingencies $481.

Hon. J. H. KING (Kootenay, Minister of Public Works) :

Mr. Speaker, I see no reason why this House should not concur in this resolution. For the information of hon. members who are interested in the matter, I would say that officials of the Department of Public Works are now

St. John Terminals

making inquiries in the hope of finding that we have facilities at the port that may be utilized for this purpose, or, if possible, to bring about conditions at the port-

Mr. KING:
