Right Hon. L. S. St. Laurent (Prime Minister):

I am afraid I will have to take the hon. member's question as notice. It goes back over quite a long period. I am quite sure nothing of importance has been supplied to any South American country, but in making an answer in the house I would want to be perfectly accurate and I should like to review all that has been done during the period mentioned by the hon. member.

Mr. Gordon Churchill (Winnipeg South Centre):

I should like to direct a question to the Secretary of State for External Affairs. Has any military equipment been supplied by Canada within the last two years to any of the 34 sensitive areas mentioned yesterday by the minister, exclusive of Israel and Egypt, and if so to which areas?

Inquiries of the Ministry Hon. L. B. Pearson (Secretary of State for External Affairs): I had better not rely on my recollection in respect of that very involved and all-embracing question. I shall look into that matter and give an answer in due course.

Mr. E. D. Fulton (Kamloops):

I should like to direct a question to the Minister of Justice relating to the situation resulting from the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada which was announced yesterday in respect to the Coffin case. Is it the intention of the government to introduce legislation or other appropriate provisions to amend the rules of the supreme court regarding applications for leave to appeal in murder cases, and is this among the amendments contemplated in the announcement contained in the speech from the throne?
