§ MR. ARNOLD FORSTERI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether advantage will be taken of the opportunity afforded by raising twelve new battalions to give effect to the frequently expressed wish of the Government and people of Canada that the 100th Regiment, sometimes called the 1st Battalion Prince of Wales's Leinster regiment (Royal Canadians), shall be repatriated as a distinctively Canadian regiment, recruited in Canada, and bearing the Canadian title of which it was deprived by the War Office in 1881.
MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMSThe matter is the subject of correspondence at the present moment, but the proposal for repatriation has no necessary connection with the raising of the twelve new battalions.
