asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state when it is hoped to have the promised codification of the fishery laws completed; and if a White Paper on this subject will be issued in the near future.

The work of consolidating the many statutes relating to fisheries enacted during the period 1842 to 1944 and the drafting of amendments designed to bring the code into line with modern requirements is well in hands. A White Paper on the subject will be issued without avoidable delay.
