www.canadaone.org/category/notes/ "Today I wish to turn page of the unhappy period in the Canadian history". These words the prime minister of Canada Stephen Harper has begun the speech on June, 22nd, 2006. He spoke about the head tax which Canada collected from each Chinese immigrant from the end of a XIX-th century till 1923 when immigration from China has been at all forbidden for 25 years. For many Chineses the tax appeared excessive. There was a significant amount of disconnected families - the Chineses who have located in Canada had no means to pay the tax for interested persons to move to them of relatives. Naming it "awful injustice" and having asked for Chineses on behalf of all Canadian people of a pardon for "shameful acts in the past", Stephen Harper has tried to put an end in long dispute which is conducted by the Chinese diaspora with the Canadian government.
