O'I'I‘AWA. May 16—Evol'y OP- posltion group in the House fell v1.lently upon the resolution to amend the Brrl.l.sh North America Act in the House oi Commons Thursday. From Conservatives. C. C. F. members and Social Cred- ltcrs came vehement attacks on the Governments move to El"? power to the province; to levy in- direct taxation and to provide for the setting up of a loan council.

Calms that the provinces had not given their approval and that. therefore, the entire procedure in amending the British North Am- cr.::1 Art was Ix-.ng c.:a.::gcd. form- ed much of the Opposition argu- ment. Another point prominently stressed was that the granting of further taxation powers to the provinces was likely to be abused. and was, in any case, not neces- sary.

Hon .C. II. Cohan tCons.. St... Lawrence-st. George). forming the spearhead of the Conservative at- tack. declared that inter—provin- cial trade would be stifled by the proposed taxation powers. I-le urg- ed that the leg.slaiion was de- slgned simply to meet an emergent situation and should not become part of the permanent constitution of the Dominion.

Right Hon. R. B. Bennett said that the Dominion was giving away a valuable source of taxation. }lr- was aLso hitter in his Lionmici- ntion of retroacL.rv claues, vall- datlng indirect taxes already lev- ied by the provinces. This feature. he warnrd, rontaiucd the peril of SI‘l'l0lih li‘ljll.I‘_\' to C2uui(l.i‘s crcdil. as did also the alm"sl. open ad- mission that the Dominion had heretofore not had the power guarantee the srcurilles of provinces.

were unanimous in approxlnz; the proposed amendment, (‘x«'!‘pi. that they had wantcd more than l.hc Dominion was prepared to give. In fact the whoir matter had been designed to assist and end the piling up of provin- cial debt; without security and without control.

Mr. Lapomtc in his opculm: bx- planatlon of the resolution. point- ed lo the financial difficulties in which some of the provinces had found themselves. The purpose of the proposed lcmslalion was to deal \vil.h an eiricrgcxicv. but one which might arise again at any time.

Under the field of provincial taxation dealt with in the reso- lution. the Minister said that it would remove doubt as to the rail-

dity of taxes already levied by the provinces. It would. in fact. widen to -ome extent the provincial tax- ation field.

Reviewing the question of Dom- inion and provincial taxes, he re- celied that Confederation provid- ed that the provinces were to limp Dominion subsidies to make up to them the loss of customs and ex- cise revenues. During the Great War, however, some trouble arose. The custom.-. and cruise receipts were not sufficient to meet the Domihlonls need»-_ so it had been forced to invade some of the pro- vincial fields to raise the neces- sary revenue.

Admitting the difficulty which surrounded the retroactive sections of 'ha resolution. he .':(1ll'iI\"(l out that everv amendment to the B. N. A. Act had contallicd the

seme feature. “It would be easier." he said. "it would be the line of least resist-

.znco_ to silly as we are and leave 'tn the provinces the power of dir- ‘ect taxation

and nothing more. Br: we are faced by circumstances crcated by economic difficulties In

which the provinces find them- selves, and because they :annot have sufficient revenues without

using the power of taxation which we are conceding them. The only alternative would be more sub- sidies and all our statesmen in the past have been of the opinion that i‘. was wrong to subsidize the provinces instead of giving them the power to levy and collect their own revenues by taxing their own poo in with the authorization of

cllned to favor letting the prov- lnccs possess the power of using this method of taxation which they have been employing durinz the last few Y0"-

“It is the unanimous wish of the provinces that this WW0!’ 5h°“1d be granted to them. Thai! hi" accepted it. slthough they wanted more. The drafting of the amend- ment was their work as well as that of the law officers of this Government and this amendment meets their views."

Explaining the exact effect of the taxation features. the Min- ister uoinied out that the taxing power given the provinces extend- ed only to retail sales taxu. This power was withheld in the ease of certain commodities brought in under hizh customs or excise dut- ies, as it was felt that it was un- desirable that the provinces should invade this field.

“It is the universal opinion in Canad. said Mr. Lopolnte. "that the system of loaning money to and piling debts upon the prov- inces by the Dominion must be ended. This is for the pirposc of helping the provinces. when fin- ancially embarsesscd. to get the guarantee of the Dominion Gov- ernment, subject to certain con- ditions. for their borrowings and to empower them to Rive securit-

ies to thc Dominion in pursuance tor [hill gnurantce. All the prov- lihces li.r.c agreed to this. but most. of them stated that they iI\'Olild not ‘scheme wiucli may be devised in virtue of this agreement.

"This. pl‘npOS€l'l amendment to »thc Bl'iil.~li North America Act is for the purpose of enabling the ‘ fbominlon and the provinces to solve their nrcsrrlt difficulties. As a Canmiiau. I hope that Canad- ' fan; can find a way to drill with ‘ ithclr (lilfl‘lliliL‘S and -provinces and the Dominion Will I co-operate in the future as they

hope that. I submit this resolution and ask for the support of the House."

Resolution “I’rematun"

the provinces '

Mr. Cahan immediately raised the point. that the consent of all the prm'in_."cs should be obtained b"fn:1' |)I‘O( evdillg with the resolu- , non. In thzs case. he characterized ;the resolution as “prematurr."

I ‘It. may be rattler premature,” he said. “to invoke the legislative power of the Parliament of the

Uuilrci lilluzcioni before it is a-.- ‘ ccrtaincd at least that the Provin-

rlal Goverlzln-ant; of the several

Mr. Dunning: "The correspon- dence the hon. member quotes dncs not bear out that statement."

Mr. Cahan insisted that this was a proper inference to draw from the correspondence in which he was referring.

"We have reached I situation in Canada," he maintained, "which has been brought about partly by undue CXI)CII(lll.Il.I‘(‘5 of some of the provinces. expenditures which could not be justified in public opinion. if their nature were well known to the public of those prov- inces. on the other hand. some of the provinces have been overtaken with emergent rnndil-ions by rea- son of which the Parliunont of Canada may be fully justified in extending such necessary finen- clal aid and assistance as lies with- in the pnwcr and disposition of Parliament.

“I should have liked to have the resolution drafted in somewhat clearer terrns and to have limited it to dealing with emergent con- ditions, as we know them. because I clearly foresee that this Iddress. if expressed in an enactment of the Pu-llaxnent of the United Kingdom, will simply lead to more

eminent of Oonodo to assume liabilities and to guoronteo future iiobl.l.ltles whenever they may be incurred by the several provinces."

Not llondleopped

There were no difficulties in the way of the provinces raising the revenue they needed under the piwent if they would but take advantage of the means at their command. Tl'i¢1!' reel rea- son for falling to do this was the fear that the public, if called on to provide the money through direct taxation. would find out how nec- nssory it was to curtail the ex- penditure of the provinces. It would demand that expenditures be cut down to a level tent with the ability of the people to contribute the money through dir- ect taxation.

He did not oppose entirely the pert dealing with the loan coun- cil. but he did oliect to the port which gave the provinces power to impose certain indirect taxation.

"I look upon the British North America Act. the nstitutlon of Canada." he said. “as something that should not be amended friv- olously or without Just and an- xious investigation and study. The

i

sent ogrom is to be regretted gun its address reaffirm: the post procedure by which amend- ments to the B. N. A.

"If this first amendment is sent to the British Parliament in the form in which it now Is, I do not think 1. will prove 3 credit to whatever department drafted it. I doubt even if one had the enlighten- merit and perspicocity of the fam- ed Philadelphia lawyer. he could decide what would compose the patronage of hotels or the patron- asze of restaurants.
