applied the Tuberculin Test to animals intended for expor- 

 tation to Canada will be accepted in the Dominion without 

 the animals being subjected again to the test in Canada, I 

 beg to submit that, having consulted the Veterinary Ad- 

 visers of the Board of Agriculture, and Professor McFadyean 

 in London and Professor McCall in Glasgow, I would recom- 

 mend the members of the veterinary profession whose names 

 and addresses are given on the list herewith. 



I would suggest to your Lordship that when application is 

 made by an importer for the name of a veterinary surgeon 

 who has been recommended as above, a letter be written to 

 the veterinarian from your office, informing him of this arrange- 

 ment, and at the same time explaining that it does not mean 

 any appointment to the Canadian Government service, and 

 that their remuneration for such tests will be paid by the 

 parties on this side who employ them. 



The Minister suggests that the same scale of fees be charged 

 by them as is charged by the members of the veterinary 

 profession in Canada who test animals for exportation to the 

 United States, viz.: for one animal i, for the next nine 

 animals 45. each, for each animal in excess of ten, 2s. I would 

 suggest that these men be informed that, on application to 

 your office, they will be furnished with directions for the 

 application of the Tuberculin Test as applied by the Govern- 

 ment Veterinarians in Canada, and charts on which to set out 

 the results of the test, and a certificate which must be 



signed by them giving their full qualifications and addresses.
