Mr. Manross:

Does the Minister of Finance know that there is an error with regard to the tax on soft drinks? The article says that they are taxed twice. The fact is that they are taxed three times-8 per cent, 25 per cent and one cent per bottle.

Mrs. Gladys Strum (Qu'Appelle):

I should like to direct a question to the Secretary of State for External Affairs. What steps has he taken to comply with the request of Premier McNair of New Brunswick for assistance in investigating the baby black market operating out of Saint John, New Brunswick? Can the minister give any assurance that the government has taken action to stop the traffic in babies as revealed by the Alberta royal commission investigation of 1947?
