Finance Head Halts Canada Takeover Tax Amid Confidence Vote Jitters
Ottawa Finance Minister Walter Gordon suspends a 30 percent takeover tax aimed at curbing foreign buyouts of Canadian firms. The move follows Conservatives' no confidence motion against the Liberal government of Lester B. Pearson. Market prices rose from a slump as the suspension was announced. The tax applied to sales over 50 000 in one day of Canadian stocks to foreign buyers. Gordon cited administrative difficulties and said no final decision on lifting the tax was made. The dispute fuels six days of Commons debate over the budget and a broader question of Canadian ownership.
