§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Minister of Food the estimated saving in dollars of the proposed cut in the imports of feeding stuffs for poultry during the next six months and the next year, respectively; and the estimated cost in dollars of shell eggs to be imported during the same two periods.
§ Sir B. SmithAs we are not importing feeding stuffs from the U.S.A. there can be no saving in dollars over the next six months. So far as the following year is concerned it is too early to anticipate whether the U.S.A. will authorize the export of feeding stuffs if purchases could be made. As to shell eggs it is estimated that, during the whole of 1946, approximately is| million Canadian dollars worth will be imported, of which about 11 million dollars worth relates to the first half of the year.
