Arising out of that very comprehensive statement, for which I thank my right hon. Friend, might I ask him whether it is a fact that the number of people on public relief in Newfoundland for the months of February and March of this year constituted an unfortunate record; whether it is a fact that there is an entire cessation of all assistance and hospital services for diseases now prevalent; and whether, if those things are so, he will direct some attention to providing some immediate mitigation of these two terrible sets of circumstances?
