March 22, 1918 (13th Parliament, 1st Session)

Sir ROBERT BORDEN:

There will be the most ample opportunity for discussion of the Bill upon its second reading, and afterwards in Committee of the Whole, where the greatest possible scope is afforded for any discussion of that kind. I am merely asking that the resolution may be passed pro forma in order that the Bill founded upon it may be introduced. The resolution itself provides that the regulations are to be made by the Governor in Council.
Resolution reported, read the first and second time, and concurred in.
Sir ROBERT BORDEN thereupon moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 16 to amend the Customs Act and to provide for the temporary control of exports and imports.
