§ Mr. Thorneasked the President of the Board of Trade whether there has been a progressive importation of Canadian salmon during the present year; whether Canada has any advantage over Japan in connection with import duties; whether all tins of Canadian salmon are labelled with the country of origin; and whether the price of Japanese salmon is cheaper than that of Canadian salmon?
§ Mr. StanleyImports of canned salmon from Canada in the first six months of 203W the present year showed an increase com pared with the previous three years. These imports are duty free; those from Japan pay a duty of 10 percent, ad valorem. I understand that all tins of Canadian salmon are stamped "Canada" and that there is no appreciable difference between the prices of the best Canadian and Japanese salmon.
