They involved annual payments by the Dominion to the Provinces computed on a uniform per caplta allowance of $15 to be increased with lncnasea per caplte gross na- tional production over the 1942 level. Such proposals further pro- vided that where in the ease of any province the annual sum to be paid would on such calculations be less than 150 per cent of that Province‘: annual receipts under it wartime tax agreement such province would be paid the larger amount.

It was known that this special provision was intended lo meet the case of British Columbia and had no other application ant‘ fur- ther that British Columbia would on the basis of her wartime tax agreement receipts be paid during the term of any new agreement 318100.000 and that her annual payments would remain s: that level until such time as with the increase in her population onrl the application of the gross national production the $15 per capltn al- lowance would produce for hit-r an amount in excess of, that figure.
