Mr. Castleden:

Mr. Speaker, the purpose of this bill is to restore the Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act to some measure of usefulness. Certain limitations in the original act regarding the date prior to which debt must be incurred in order to qualify have rendered it useless and inoperative. The amendments eliminate those limitations and restore the act as an instrument of some little usefulness which was intended in the original legislation.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

Hon. George A. Drew (Leader of the Opposition):

Mr. Speaker, I wish to direct a question to the Prime Minister. In view of the Prime Minister's statement of May 7 that the government would welcome any proposals from responsible Canadians with regard to the construction of the pipe line, will the Prime Minister inform us if the government has in its possession any proposals or offers of proposals other than those which have already been discussed, namely, those of Mr. McMahon and Mr. Gairdner.

Mr. St. Laurent (Quebec East):

The Minister of Finance (Mr. Harris) spoke to me this morning about those letters and informed me that the proposal contained in the letter of May 10 was one which he felt could not be taken seriously and he would have been lacking in responsibility if he had taken up the time of his colleagues with it.

Are we to take it from what the Prime Minister has said that these proposals have not been placed before the cabinet?

Mr. Si. Laurenl@Quebec East

They have not been placed before the cabinet, and if the letter had been addressed to me I would not have felt they were proposals that required to be placed before the cabinet.
