§ MR. CHARLES DEVLIN (Galway)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any correspondence has passed between the Canadian Government and His Majesty's Government in regard to the mode of appointment of the commandant of the Canadian Militia; and whether the Canadian Government have asked for Amendments to the British North America Act with this object in view.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN (for Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN)The answer is in the negative in regard to both parts of the Question, but I have invited the Dominion Government to discuss with His Majesty's Government the question of some proposed Amendments in the Dominion Militia Act.
