§ Mr. STURROCKasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the present need of opening up all avenues of employment, he will cause the Report of Lord Finlay's Commission on the Importation of Canadian Cattle to be reconsidered by the Cabinet, since the embargo prevents employment in shipping, landing, feeding, and tending these cattle?
Sir A. BOSCAWENI have been asked to reply. The answer is in the negative. Any increase in employment in the direction suggested as a result of removing the embargo would be at the expense of employment in other parts of this country, and such action would not contribute to the solution of the unemployment problem, but rather the reverse.
§ Mr. STURROCKasked the Prime Minister whether, before the Cabinet resolved to take no action on the Report of Lord Finlay's Commission on the Importation into this country of Canadian Store Cattle, the views of the Canadian Government on the embargo were invited and considered?
Sir A. BOSCAWENIn considering the Report of the Commission, His Majesty's Government were fully cognisant of the views of the Canadian Government.
