Richard Burpee Hanson (Minister of Trade and Commerce)
Conservative (1867-1942)
Mr. HANSON (York-Sunbury):
The hon. gentleman will recall that part of it was under a committee of the house last year and part of it under a royal commission. The actual cost of the two was in the vicinity of $475,000 plus some printing, the actual amount of which I have never been able to get. I do not know that my department is specifically responsible for checking the matter because it did not come through us. The first part was entirely a House of Commons matter
rMr. R. B. Hanson.]
and was in last year's vote, but my understanding is that the actual cost of the whole, including the printing, which of course is under the printing bureau, was about $475,000. It may be a little more or a little less.
