Canadian Bill Links Coal Bounty to Labour Rules
Ottawa May 28 The bill before the House of Commons ties a 491 percent bounty on Canadian bituminous coal used in iron and steel to provincial labour laws. Payments depend on firms’ hours and wage rates in line with Versailles Treaty provisions. The measure also restricts exporters receiving duty drawbacks on Vituminofis coal from the U S and seeks to equalize Canadian coal with imports in steel manufacture.
