26. Mr. HOLLAND

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will consider taking steps to place all managing officials associated with coal mining, such as examiners, shot-firers, underground managers, and general managers, under the Mines Department, who shall take full responsibility for their employment with a view to assisting materially in reducing the accident rate and promoting a greater measure of safety for all persons engaged in the industry?

Captain CROOKSHANK

No, Sir.
