Lucien Lamoureux (Speaker of the House of Commons)

Independent

Mr. Speaker:

TABLING OF WHITE PAPER ON ANTI-DUMPING

LIB

Edgar John Benson (Minister of Finance)

Liberal

Hon. E. J. Benson (Minister of Finance):

Mr. Speaker, I wish to table, in English and in French, a copy of a white paper on antidumping. As hon. members are aware, to implement the anti-dumping code negotiated in the Kennedy round certain revisions are required to existing customs legislation. It is the government's intention to seek the approval of parliament in the near future for a separate statute dealing exclusively with the application of anti-dumping duties. The white paper is being made public at this time to provide hon. members and other interested parties with an opportunity to examine and comment on the kind of legislative provisions being contemplated to give effect to the antidumping code. I also suggest that the white paper be referred to the standing committee on finance, trade and economic affairs, as soon as the house agrees to set up this body.

Marcel Joseph Aimé Lambert

Progressive Conservative

Hon. Marcel Lambert (Edmonton West):

Mr. Speaker, I should like to make a short comment in this regard. It is particularly apposite that the white paper should be brought forward now. However, in view of the fact that recently the United States Senate passed a renegotiation bill which also contains provision for the repeal of the antidumping convention entered into by the United States, and as dumping affects Canada and the United States particularly, I think this house will want to examine this convention and the proposed legislation very carefully in light of events outside this country.

TARIFF BOARD REPORT ON REFERENCE

LIB

Edgar John Benson (Minister of Finance)

Liberal

Hon. E. J. Benson (Minister of Finance):

Mr. Speaker, I have tabled today copies in English and in French of the report of the tariff board on reference No. 134, together with a transcript of the evidence presented to the board at its public hearings.

Reference No. 134, equipment for hospitals and other institutions, covers items in the customs tariff which provide for the duty free entry of goods imported for hospitals, educational, scientific, religious and other institutions, and of goods imported for the benefit of afflicted or handicapped persons.

I assure the house that the board's recommendations will be considered carefully by the government. Interested parties who wish to comment on this report should do so as soon as possible.

PROCEDURE RESPECTING INTRODUCTION OF PUBLIC BILLS ON ORDER PAPER

IND

Lucien Lamoureux (Speaker of the House of Commons)

Independent

Mr. Speaker:

The house will note that on today's order paper there are some 100 public bills listed for introduction by private members. It would be difficult if not impossible for the Chair to review the provisions of each of these bills at this time. May I therefore suggest to the house that we adopt the procedure which was agreed upon by the house in several recent sessions; namely, that we proceed to the introduction and first reading of these bills so that each may be scrutinized between now and the time appointed for its second reading, in order to determine whether there be any defect therein with respect to the practices and usages of the house.

[DOT] (11:10 a.m.)

Therefore in order to save the time of the house, taking into consideration that perhaps more than two hours would be required to introduce each of these measures separately, it is suggested that by unanimous consent all

September 20, 1968

Public Bills

the bills listed for introduction on today's order paper be deemed to have been introduced, given first reading and ordered for second reading at the next sitting of the house, subject of course to a subsequent examination as to the regularity of each bill.

Does the house agree to this procedure?
