The paper addresses the quantization of minisuperspace cosmological models, with application to the Taub Model. By desparametrizing the model with an extrinsic time, a formalism is developed in order to define a conserved Schr\"{o}dinger inner product in the space of solutions of the Wheeler-De Witt equation. A quantum version of classical canonical transformations is introduced for connecting the solutions of the Wheeler-De Witt equation with the wave functions of the desparametrized system. Once this correspondence is established, boundary conditions on the space of solutions of the Wheeler-De Witt equation are found to select the physical subspace. The question of defining boundary conditions on the space of solutions of the Wheeler-De Witt equation without having reduced the system is examined.
