asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now in a position to state if the Central Railway Company of Canada was one which should have complied with the requirements of Section 274 of the Companies (Consolidation) Act as having a place of business in this country; and, in that event, what steps will his Department take to enforce the penalties for non-compliance?

I am not yet in a position to inform the hon. Member as to the liability of the Central Railway Company of Canada to comply with the requirements of Section 274 of the Companies (Consolidation) Act, but the matter is being dealt with.
