March 27, 1919 (13th Parliament, 2nd Session)

Mr. MACLEAN (Halifax):

It would all, apparently, be on the Atlantic coast, because I do not think there was any inspector on the Pacific coast. There an inspector was appointed in 1918. There are seven inspectors on the Atlantic coast. I give these figures to show the number of packers who availed themselves of the privilege of inspection year by year. I am informed by the officers of the department that there is quite a substantial demand throughout the country for compulsory inspection.
