June 26, 1951 (21st Parliament, 4th Session)

Mr. Gardiner:

My understanding is that if any provincial government desires to prevent the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine within its own province, it has the right to do so, in accordance with the decision of the privy council and also the decision of our own supreme court before the case was taken to the privy council. Any province that desires to stop it can stop it. As I said a moment ago, Quebec and Prince Edward Island have already done so. The other provinces may do so if they so desire.
