An Inquiry Into Tariff Anomalies
The Minister of Finance asked the Tribunal to examine the effects on Canadian businesses of certain anomalies in the phase-out schedule of tariffs under the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement and to advise on how to deal with these anomalies. This report provides the findings and recommendations from the Tribunal's four-month inquiry into five finished product industries: air cleaners, disposable diapers, detergents and household cleaners, pressure vessels, and furniture. Each industry review includes an identification of the finished and input products under consideration and a report on the survey coverage. The evidence of the finished product industry is then summarized, followed by the evidence of the input producing firms. Each is concluded with an assessment of the evidence and the Tribunal's recommendations.

An Inquiry Into Textile Tariffs
In 1989, the Tribunal was asked to conduct an investigation on how to reduce textile tariffs to levels which would be more in line with those of other industrialized countries. The recommendations produced apply to the portions of the textile industry which produce fibres, yarns, fabrics and certain specialty products, and which generally serve as input in the manufacture of other products. This report presents the results of that investigation after public hearings, plant visits and interviews with those involved in the textile industry. The report reviews the structure, performance, competitive factors and future directions of the textile and downstream industries; the international setting, concentrating on such factors as the MFA, VERs and the MTN; analyzes the tariff structures of Canada, the EEC, Japan and the U.S., then shows the actual tariff comparisons focusing in particular on differences in tariffs between Canada and the U.S.; describes the illustrative tariff options developed by the Tribunal staff; then sets out recommendations and the rationale underlying them.
