September 12, 1939 (18th Parliament, 5th Session)

Mr. ILSLEY:

Goods imported before September 12 would come in under the old rate of duty. Section 3 of the bill to be presented reads:
This act shall be deemed to have come into force on the twelfth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine, and to have applied to all goods mentioned in the preceding section, imported or taken out of warehouse for consumption on and after that date, and to have applied to goods previously imported for which no entry for consumption was made before that date.
There is one exception. The increased duty in the case of spirits is to apply on and after September 3.
