Mr. RYCKMAN:
If the invoice shows
that it would be a case of dumping if they were not partners.

Mr. RYCKMAN:
The hon. member read
it; I do not wish to read it over again.
May 10, 1933
Mr. RYCKMAN:
I didn't think it was
quite as bad as all that.
May 10, 1933
Mr. RYCKMAN:
No it was not. So far
as I know my colleagues are of the opinion that their action was correct. But there was the idea abroad to which I have referred. When I tried to localize it and find out what the trouble was the suggestion was made that we had not the power to fix the average value for duty covering fortnightly periods. So, in order to remove all possible doubt we are asking this House of Commons to pass this legislation, remembering, if you will, that it was necessary to act quickly. I think that while some people may object, in the main the action taken was beneficial to the country.

Mr. RYCKMAN:
Yes, with this addedif the price is the value for special duty, because some have been evading the special duty. How? By using in the transaction the value that has been fixed as the value of the pound for special duty, so that there is no special duty payable at all. In some cases they have been willing to pay the merchant in England a higher price than they needed to pay him, in order to evade paying the special duty in Canada. If I have an affiliated company in England and if I am prepared to pay at a higher rate than the currency exchange rate I am simply taking money out of one pocket and putting it into the other and not giving the government its fair share of duty.
