§ 44 and 49. Mr. NORTON-GRIFFITHSasked (1) the total number of women and children who have left this country for the Dominion of Canada under the auspices of the Imperial Reunion Association of Canada during the year 1912; (2) if he will lay upon the Table of the House particulars relating to the Imperial Reunion Association of Canada, showing where in Canada the association exists, together with the names of different committees in Canada associated therewith?
Mr. HARCOURTI have no official correspondence regarding the association, but I am informed that since the association was started by the Winnipeg Industrial Bureau in 1911 branches have been established at Vancouver, Nelson, Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Regina, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Yorkton, Brandon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton, Peterborough, Ottawa, Brant-ford, Montreal, and St. John (New Brunswick). I have not seen any complete figures for 1912, but I understand that up to August last 1,542 wives and children of men who had emigrated were assisted out to Winnipeg.
