The Sinking Funa- I would like to answer the state- ment of the Louder of the Opposi- tion regarding Slilklng Funds and the practice of putting lll ‘Deposit ltecelpts. It has ‘been dealt with already, but a little further explan- ation will do no hartu. ‘He claims that this was the practice of pre- vious Governments and he gave figures, the other night, to show that $70,000 had ‘been handled in this way by previous Governments. Even his own figures show bow un- fair he was, because he tried to give the impression that the Con- servatives bed at some time‘ put $70,000 of deposit slips into the Sinking Fund. The largest amount lll any single year ever treated in that way in ‘the past, according to his own flgilres, was $14,000; nnil he did not tell us that before tile next year was over, that amount was probably doivn to $1.000. That was simply a lllatter 0i’ economy and convenience at the time, and bad no relation ivhwtever to the system practiced by the ‘Bell (lov- ernment. Previously it was a slin- ple matter of convenience. ’l‘lle bond market, at the time, might not be just right, nr ior some iltller lllly bonils at a particular time, and a tleposit receipt might be given to carry over the interest i'or u tem- porary period. But to make a prac- 000 in deposit slips, in that way, in one year, ls an entirely different matter; and 1 just wish to repeat that it was ‘NOT a practice in pre- vious years except as a. temporary exileiliilnt, and that these ileposlts were zllways replaced by bonds illi- or on.
