May 13, 1929 (16th Parliament, 3rd Session)

Mr. LAWSON:

I am indeed reluctant to
have anything further to say on this subject by reason of the length of time I devoted to it last week, but to-night the Minister of Finance has made two statements which I cannot allow to pass. One is obviously an error, the other is misleading. If I remember correctly, in the case cited by him to-night, he quoted figures to show that the province of Ontario had derived something like four or five times more revenue from the transfer of shares than the amount received by the Dominion treasury.
