Mr. Speaker, have we changed finance ministers in this government?
Perhaps the question was not fair to the finance minister so I will give him another opportunity to explain it. If he feels it is too tough, perhaps he could explain the $13,000 grant given by the Ministry of Industry to study "Yankee Seamen: A Mariners' History of Massachusetts".
Will this be useful to Canadian industry or is the government researching what happened the last time the people revolted against unfair taxation in Boston harbour?
