Most Recent Speeches (Page 5 of 242)
May 10, 1933
Mr. RYCKMAN:
I think it is clear now.
May 10, 1933
Mr. RYCKMAN:
The Department of
Justice revised this section, and they did not have any difficulty with it. I must say I did not at first understand it as fully as I might have wished, but after reading it the second and third times, for I have read it a few times, I think it is plain. I do not believe my hon. friend would have to read it three times to understand it.
May 10, 1933
Mr. RYCKMAN:
Frankly, I think not.
The difficulties have been caused by the complications in the working out of business, the fluctuations we have had; by reason of changes in exchange values a dumping duty may be shown one day and none the next. It is these things that cause difficulty, but anyone in the trade who will follow it, will understand it. I can appreciate the fact that a layman might find some difficulty on reading this over for the first time, but I think a bright minded person, on reading it the second time, would understand it fully.

Mr. RYCKMAN:
I intended to say what
the hon. member has read.
May 10, 1933
Mr. RYCKMAN:
We insist on the fair market value for duty purposes. If someone tries to charge less we step in in the interests of the business of the country and insist upon a fair market value, and the transaction is carried out on that footing.
