§ Mr. RICEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, under the proposed reciprocity agreement between Canada and the United States of America, tin-plates exported from this country will be able to enter the United States by way of Canada free of duty?
Mr. BUXTONThe Bill now before the Congress of the United States of America for giving effect to the arrangement relates only to goods "the growth, product or manufacture of the Dominion of Canada," and does not extend to goods manufactured elsewhere imported viâ Canada.
§ Mr. RICEWould not our Treaty with the United States, which contains the most- 358 favoured-nation clause, allow the tin plates to so enter?
Mr. BUXTONThat is a question which has been raised in the United States more than once, and it is still under consideration. It is not necessarily included in the most-favoured-nation clause.
