BILL INTRODUCED..

Hon. Dr. Tso's Scheme. One clause of the Bill it is pro- posed to omit in committee. That is clause 1.It was proposed to alter that clause in a somewhat WIS
important detail but it' thought better to preserve it in its present form and I now pro- pose to move the omission of that clause in committee.
There is one provision of the Bill perhaps I should draw atten tion to, though it is not intended at the moment to act under it. If hon. members will look at clause 6, paragraph (b) they will find there some words which, when in- serted their
