Mrs. Fairclough:

Stand.

Hon. Sidney E. Smith (Secretary of State

for External Affairs): Mr. Speaker, I must inform the house that there are no papers which could be produced in accordance with the terms of this motion. Concultations have, of course, been held by Canadian and United States officials over the past few years with the object of determining how pilotage matters in the waters of the great lakes basin can be dealt with most satisfactorily. In the course of these discussions, which are of a continuing nature, working papers have been prepared and subjected to joint examination. No documents or correspondence on pilotage have, however, passed between the two governments subsequent to the Canadian aide memoire of March 20, 1958, a copy of which was tabled in the house on June 24 last.

Since there are no relevant papers, I suggest that the hon. member might allow this motion to drop.
