On Tuesday October 10/06 Prime Minister Steven Harper was at a dinner that was hosted by the Chinese Immigration group. This dinner was over the Chinese head tax that was put up back in 1885 to 1923. This tax made every Chinese immigrant to Canada pay $50 and later $500. Today though Steven Harper gave a formal apology to every one it has effected in the house of commons. all 400 Chinese immigrants that had to pay this tax $20,000. I believe this is the right thing to do and i agree with what Steven Harper has done. I think that $20,000 is a little bit to much and we probably should be giving out a little bit less but none the less i do agree with what is being done about it.
