MR. CATHCART WASONI beg to ask the hon. Member for South Somerset, as representing the President of the Board of Agriculture, if he can state if free importation of live cattle is allowed into Canada from the United States or elsewhere; if any quarantine regulations are existent in Canada, and their nature; and how the line is preserved over the 3,000 odd miles of frontier.
§ SIR EDWARD STRACHEYLive cattle are admitted into Canada from the United States and elsewhere subject to the conditions prescribed in the Regulation relating to Animals' Quarantine which were issued by the Canadian Government last year. A quarantine of from sixty to ninety days is enforced on all cattle imported except from the United States, Newfoundland and Mexico. The Board are not in a position to reply to the last part of the Question.
