Sir HENRY DRAYTON:

Does my hon. friend really think he should go on with Nova Scotia? I am always content to take a night at any job, but two nights hand running is too much. I was quite willing to stay all

Supply-Harbours and Rivers

night to finish, but if we cannot finish I do not see the use of continuing any longer with these estimates.

Mr. Chairman, in view of the news that may come out in the morning paper, I think it might be just as well to get the sad work of Nova Scotia over to-night.

Mr. SPEARMAN:

I appreciate that. But what has happened since we put through the main estimates? I certainly thought we put through a very generous list, and we raised no great exception to them. What exigencies have arisen since then to necessitate another list of this length? Again I protest against bringing in at the last moment a lot of supplementary items which might just as well have been included in the main estimates.

Mr. COPP:

If my hon. friend will reflect for a. moment he will realize that the engineers of the Public Works department are carrying on their work all the time, and as their reports come in they are included in the main estimates, or if too late for these, they are embodied in the supplementaries.

I quite appreciate what the minister says, but in many of these cases the extensions are not of such importance that they can not be left over until next year.
