This is often true of the Dominion Pieeliament, as the debates drag oo wearily for days. But there wasi an exception last .week. When the Grand Trunk Paci- •fic Bill was passed, it appear a that the insertion of one word "implement" caused a loss to the Canadian Trea- sury of several million dollars. Hon. T.

Accoedingly, he brongh t h a bill for the purpose, and it was reed the second time, put through committee, and passed, in five minutes. This shows that Parliament can act quick- ly, if necessary, and emphasizes the frequent loss of time by manoeuver- for party advantage.
