Mr. THOMAS REID (New Westminster):
I should like to draw the attention of this house and of the government to some statements made in London by the High Commissioner, the Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, because I think they merit serious notice. As is admitted by practically all hon. members, we have had for the past number of months a serious unemployment problem which has culminated to-day in an appeal at the parliament buildings. I should like to know whether the statement made by the Hon. G.
Howard Ferguson in London to the effect that there was no destitution in Canada, was based on information given to him by the present government.
The other point I should like to draw to the attention of the house is this: when we met at the beginning of the session we were told in the speech from the throne that an embargo had been placed against Russia because her interests were inimical to the social and economic welfare of this country. Mr. G. Howard Ferguson, speaking in London, has, at least according to my way of thinking, quite a different story to tell.

Mr. THOMAS REID (New Westminster):

Mr. THOMAS REID (New Westminster):
I have a few questions to ask of the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Stewart), in view of a communication that I received this morning in connection with dredge No. 303. Can the minister give the house the reason for tying up this dredge and throwing men out of work when the dredge is required to operate before the freshet season commences on the Fraser river? I should also like to ask whether, when the dredge is again put into operation, the minister can give us the assurance that the same captain and crew will be re-engaged.
