§ 52. Lieutenant-Colonel ARTHUR MURRAYasked the Prime Minister whether any communication has yet been received from the Canadian Government with reference to the announcement made in the Dominion House of Commons by the President of the Privy Council to the effect that a permanent Canadian representative at Washington is shortly to be appointed?
§ Lieutenant-Colonel AMERYNo, Sir.
§ Lieutenant-Colonel MURRAYIs the House to understand that this proposed change is being made without any consultation between the Governments?
§ Lieutenant-Colonel AMERYI do not think the House should understand that; but undoubtedly when the matter is further advanced the Government will be consulted.
§ Lieutenant-Colonel MURRAYThen what is the reason for the announcement in the Canadian House of Commons?
