' All four Atlantic premiers ‘ghad apparently taken a second ’look with the immediate prosr :pect of a joint New Brunswick- Nova Scotia commission to study the union of those adjoin- lng provinces that iiad been a single colony up to 1784.

at this time. But New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia could consider such a possibility if it uld be shown such a step was fairly advantageous to both and acceptable to the people of both provinces.

If a similar procedure were put forward in New Brunswick he would request the Nova Scotia legislature to consider the possibility of approving the setting up of a joint commis- sion by the two provinces to study the whole question.

The commission would not be a government measure that would make it ineffective polit- ically but it would provide a handy forum for discussion t‘iat would lead to a report back to both legislatures where joint action could be taken.
