Charles Stewart, minister of the interior, introduced a bill in the House of Commons to empower the Northwest Territories to impose a per net fur export tax. The aim is to raise revenue for northern administration, as current fur exports yield about $2,000,000 annually to colonial traders without federal return. The tax would fall on exportation and seeks to avoid hardship for natives who rely on furs for clothing.
