During today’s Question Period, NDP finance critic Peggy Nash mentioned the Conservative government’s move to eliminate tariffs on some items—hockey equipment, as an example—but raise tariffs on many others. Ted Menzies, the secretary of state for finance, responded that the government has moved to lower tariffs for certain countries, measures he characterized as foreign aid.
