Mr. RHODES:
Mr. Speaker, the Senate committee has finished its deliberations and
the Senate has reconvened. I am expecting a message momentarily from the Senate and the Prime Minister will be here presently. I think it might be possible to continue to see if we cannot conclude in the next few minutes.

Hon. E. N. RHODES (Minister of Finance):
On Tuesday the hon. member for Temiscouata (Mr. Pouliot) raised a question as to whether the guarantee which was given regarding a certain advance to Newfoundland had been referred to in the 1934 report of the director of unemployment relief. He will find that the guarantee is referred to and the reference will be found on page 44 of the report. I may say further to my hon. friend that the guarantee was also referred to in the budget speech of this year and also appears in the public accounts. No demands have accrued under the guarantee.
