§ 142. Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will amend the present method of grant payment for fishing boats by making the grant and loan available after the owners have met 15 per cent. of the cost, and thereby save them the considerable amount of interest now having to be paid under the present method.
§ Mr. Hoy:No. It would he wrong to commit public funds until the appli- 156W cant's share of the cost has been found. But we are considering an alternative solution to the problem.
