Mr. Mcllrailh:

Immediately this motion passes, it is my intention to ask that the bill be referred to the committee set up to examine into the operations of the national research council?

2378 HOUSE OF COMMONS

Business of the House

Mr. Macdonnell (Greenwood):

Very well.

Six o'clock.

Motion, agreed to, bill read the second time and referred to the special committee appointed to examine into the operations of the national research council.

Mr. Fournier (Hull) moved

the adjournment of the house.

He said: This is the first time I have been at a loss to indicate what we should do. If we were to use the short time left before six o'clock I would have to make the formal motion to go into supply.

Mr. Fournier (Hull):

Perhaps we might call it six o'clock.

Tomorrow we will take up Bill No. 178, to amend the Excise Tax Act. That is the only financial bill we can take up tomorrow, I understand. Then we will proceed to Bill No. 181, to amend the Railway Act. That is the grade crossing bill. We will then take Bill No. 153, to amend the Aeronautics Act. We will then go into supply and take the estimates of the Department of Transport.

Motion agreed to and the house adjourned at 5.50 p.m.
