ROUSE OF COMMONS.
Minititerha Statement.
Mr. Foster saki, 1 have but very few
remarks to make in reply to my bon.
friend, (Mr, Lanier,) Some ditleremea
%rose in the Cabinet about the question of
remedial legislation, oh1 efl on two li
nes,
Some of our colleagues thought it useless
to prolong negotiatiens, or to enter iato
further negetiations with the Manitoba,
Government, The position a the Federal
Government was that we Would grant te
Manitoba a eortain amount of time to ar-
rive at tin amicable settfement, and that
no resnedial legislation should be introduc-
ed this session by the Dominion Govern-
ment, I rwret to say that one of our col-
leagues finds it impossible to accede to
this view. His resignation has not only
been sent in but, accepted. Asto .the
principle, that remedial legislation was
necessary,there was a divergence upon de-
tails, but not as to the principle. With
respect to two other members of the Gov-
ernment there was a misunderstanding In
respect of details; but this has been,clear-
ed up, and they remain with us.
Sir Adolphe Caron and Mr. Ouimet hom-
ologated Mr. Foster's statement.
Dar. Folitert; Statement.
Mr. Laurier moved the, adjournment of
the House. He said there was one thing
which bound the hon. gentlernext of the
Government together and that was the ce-
ment of office.
Mr. McCarthy could not understand
what this three or our days trouble had
been about. The pretence was that the
majority a the Cabinet might have ao-
cepted something else than the remedial
order. If that wes so,thon the hon.gentle-
men from Quebec were right in haaing a
clear understanding with their colleagues.
"Now we know where we are," It was
perfectly hopeless to refer the question
back to Manitoba,.
• Mr. joncas said he could foresee that
there was now nothing to be gained by
delay.
The motion was defeated_ by 116 to 89.

Mr. Mills moved :—" That in the opin-

Act of 1867, which prevents the removal
of a Lieutenant -Governor of a province for

municated to the House of Commons by
