I learn that they can not control a provincial government when it undertakes to impose export duties on products going out of that Province. I found that the Provinces of the Dominion may Impose export duty on articles leaving the Provinces and going into other countries. and even going into other Provinces of Canada than the one imposing restrictions. Then today I found out. from the statement of the gentleman from Connecticut. this Information. that: they may Impose a restriction upon immigration from abroad. a head tax. At any rate. they can impose restrictions upon the export of their lumber products. aid do. It was said through every day of the hearings up to the last that Canadian Provinces could not Impose a restriction upon the iyood products cut from any lands other than Crown lands. and yet we found from the law we have. a copy of the law which we have Inserted in the hearings. that one Province does impose restrictions on lands other than Crown landsthat is to say. on privately owned lands.
