James Macdonnel pc Torono Greenwood expressed satisfaction at the Way in which the new Law was operating. He took Strong exception to some people of the baser sort whom he suggested were wrongly interpret ing the legislation As imposing Tariff Protection when in fact As he saw it Bill 29 was merely enabling the government to enforce its anti dumping Regula. Tons. Or Mccann pointed out that under Bill 29 As it had passed the House last december the valuation for duty purposes of the customs act had been altered. This was done to Deal with a particular problem that presented itself at that the problem As outlined in the House last december was Competition which the Canadian textile Industry had encountered in the form of end of season dresses entering Canada from the u. S. The new Lay mainly household refrigerated had been affected. Or. Knowles suggested that the fear that duties on imports might be increased several months after goods had come into the country would act As a deter rent on importers wanting to bring goods into Canada. Or. Mccann said depart ment so far had received no or court. The president Otth court Hon. Or. Justice j. T. Thorson heard the application for leave to Appeal and rejected the application. He upheld the findings of the Tariff Board. Friday in the commons Hon. J. A Mccann minister of nation Al Revenue was pressed by Stan by Knowles Jorth Centre to state when the Ower rate of duty would be re instituted on the imported mixed fruit. The minister said the matter could not be discussed because it was before the courts and there fore sub Judice. But said or. Knowles it had been decided by the exchequer court that there would be no leave granted to Appeal was the minister announcing that the National Revenue department was going to carry the Appeal to the supreme court he asked. I m not making any announce ment As to our future action snapped or. Mccann. Have right to Appeal he added that his department had been a party in the hear ing before the Tariff Board. His department had the right if it so desired to carry an Appeal from the Tariff Board s decision to the exchequer court. Or. Knowles Are you going we May. I am nato representative Ottawa up maj. J.

We have the right to a peal if we Are not satisfied we can Appeal to the exchequer. Court and then to the supreme the member for Winnipeg North Centre Ani said so. How could the matter b sub Judice he wondered if court had made a decision and n complaints from importers be i Urther appear had been mad provided that where the Market Price of any manufactured goods in the coun try of Export had Ashe result of the Advance of the season declined to Levels that did not in the opinion of the minister reflect their Normal Price the value for duty was to be determined by the minister. The new Law stated that the value for duty shall be the amount determined by the minister to be the average Price weighted As to Quantity at which the goods or similar goods were sold in the country of Export cause of delay or unfair application of the valuation for duty purposes. Or. Knowles asked if the department would know whether any importers were from trying to import because of a fear of what might happen. Or. Mccann said no i emphasized that there is no one who can determine How Many importers have been deterred from making importations by reason of the application of this amendment Bill Carl Nickle pc Calgary South said to the minister s statement we have the invoiced i Price substantially increased and now subject to a still higher rate of duty through the application of the anti dumping or. Mccann replied the whole Point i attempted to make in giving my figures was that the legislation of december has had some effect in bringing the Price up to a level that would represent a fair Market value of the goods in question As against the dumping Price. So we have a Price of As against what you might Call the dumping Price of wants list or. Nickle said the ,.is not the invoiced Price of the item in the country of origin. It is the minister s appraised Price for duty he suggested the House should have a 1st of the items with the actual invoiced Price and appraised Price. The minister said it would be he appealed to any one of the several lawyer maps to give a opinion on that Fine Legal Point or. Knowles dropped the ques there were no volunteers Tion of whether or not an appear was to be made asked or. Me Cann if the National Revenue department was going to continue using lawyers from the justic department to argue its cases be fore the Tariff Board. The min Ster replied in the affirmative the Winnipeg member Sugge Ted it was unfair for the opposite Side in a Case before the to Iff Board if the Justice Depar ment appeared on the scene r presenting the National revenis department and proceeded to shift the ground on which the Revenue department had based its Case.

Custom instructions or. Mccann read into the re cords Given instructions which were to the customs officers in an attempt to carry out the provisions of the dec. 7, 1953, and feb. 2b this year. He said he was sure that the my s be interested in the re sults of implementing the new Law. While we can give some definite result i would suggest that it is impossible for any one to determine to what extent Imp orters have been deterred from making importations into Canada of those goods so affected Ber cause of the fact that they would not know at that time just what the amount of the invoice would be he said. Or. Mccann added therefore i cannot say to what extent this has affected importation. I simply do not know and i suggest it is hard for anyone to make an accurate he gave the House a partial list of goods affected by the new legislation. It included printed piece goes embossed Cotton goods drapery fabrics drapes shirting denims Corduroy synthetic piece goods upholstery floor coverings and Plush fabrics. The minister cited import Fig Uch. A list. However he said it might be possible to give the Louse typical examples. He said he spread Between the invoiced Price and Teh appraised Price for duty purposes varied from item to item. He noted that the example for april he had Given he House earlier showed a percentage increase of about 10 per cent above the Price at which similar goods would have been invoiced in april a year ago.
