Mr. Stewart, leader of the Opposition, said he was a member oi the Public Accounts Committee and that the above report had been submitted to him for his signature, which he had refused, because he could not conscientiously agree with the subject matter oi the report. ‘In the first place, ths_"surpius" of 33,-‘ 789,70 set out in the first paragraph had been shown during the Budget debate to be incorrect, it being ar-

Mr. Stewart had had personal contact with the out- side auditors in the-past, and knew the hon. member's statement to be absolutely incorrect. The outside aud- itors nad performed ftheir work thoroughly on every occasion, a d were independent and responsible men who would not publisher» audit over their names yvithout 'a full

On the preeeiitoccasion, the Pub- lic Accounts Fommittee simply took figures that were furnished, them and of which they had _no personal knowledge as to accuracy or other- wise. . '
