Mr. DUPUIS:

Would the hon. gentleman explain why he is in favour of the Australian treaty and against the Australian treaty as applied to New Zealand?

I do not see how my friend can be against the New Zealand treaty, and then say that he is in favour of the Australian treaty, because the New Zealand treaty is simply the Australian treaty applied to New Zealand.
