Bennett and Dunning Debate Tariff on Galvanized Sheets
In Ottawa on March 24 1940 Canada faced a potential shortage of galvanized sheet iron due to the UK rearmament program. Conservative leader R B Bennett urged temporary tariff relief on black sheets from the United States for galvanizing while Finance Minister C A Dunning cautioned he would act if facts supported the claim. The discussion stemmed from the Canada United Kingdom trade agreement which sets duties on sheets from the UK and a 15 percent preference against the United States. Bennett said western dealers lacked supplies as galvanizing plants faced material constraints and Great Britain could not supply enough iron. Prices rose in the United States and shortages threatened affordable procurement for Canadian firms.
