lat Does It Mean For Each Canadian?

By STEWART .MacLEOD _OTTAWA (CP)—With only the formality - of royal assent- re-" maining, the Canada Pension |Plan is about to’ become a fact |—and it's doubtful whether any other piece of legislation has re- | quired so'much effort to bring it ; into effect.

of a Senate-Commons commit- ‘\tee, and three days in a Senate icommittee and before the Sen- ate itself—this is the partial story of how the massive legis- lation -is reaching.. the statute books. No one can reckon the thousands of man - hours that went into the measure. And now that it has cleared its final parliamentary hurdle, what _have. Canadians got for themselves? The ‘short nswer is: that-most Canadians will have a wage-re- | lated..pension—scheme,..compul~. ‘sory in nature, that will provide a maximum benefit of $104.17— the $75 nthly old - age pension—a month when a con- tributor reaches

HOW_IT, WORKS . |“ In tie fiaples sense, it works ilike this:

For contributions of 3.6 per |cent of income—half paid by lemployees and half by employ- ers—persons will qualify at-age

for a pension of about one- |quarter of their previous earn- | lings. Contributions are made on | | earnings between $600 and $5,000 la year, and self-employed per- | sons, who must pay the entire 3.6 per-cent contribution the selves, enter the scheme when j they earn $800 or more a year.

Dtring this 10-vear maturity period a person now 55 can con- tribute until he is 65 and then .draw the same pension as if he |contributed for 40 years.

By JOHN LEGGOE

JAKARTA (Reuters) — White House envoy Ellsworth Bunker Thursday gave President Su- karno a personal letter from President’ Johnson at the first of several meetings over deteri- orating U.S. - Indonesian rela- tions.

‘Major Plank In PC Platform aid Education Aid Question

By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP)—Federal “aid to education and a. Supurban lareas. development ofrogram jwill be major plattks ip the lelection platform of © the ne c-

gressive .Conservative party,

; liable sources said Thursday.

Opposition Lea = er iviefen- fbaker — dropped , hint about jthem in a ielevision _addréss iWednesday night. promising that they will be enundialed in “detail ‘very shortly.’

Informants say the opting gut

legislation passed by the Gam: mons Tuesday night is a key factor in-the federal-aid-to-@d- ucation plank

The ‘Conservatives are "ex- peciéd to propose large:

scale federal education assist- ance, along lines suggested by |

schonl-truétee and teaching as- sociations, -under feders vincial agreements.

Provinces which wilted to

opt out of the programs could do .so without losing the Anan-°

benefits provided by fhe federal government

The suburban areas program is said to include a provision to permit home owners to deduct their municipal taxes in deter- mining their federal income tax

liability: EASE TAX BURDEN

The aim is to ease the tax sburden on the property owner from local improvement. and

school taxes’ which haves grown greatly with the post-war shift of population to suburbia. Informants said the two elec-- tion planks were worked out. by groups in the caucus of. MPs’ and inthe party. Mr.,._Diefenbaker in his televi- sion.gpeech said ‘the time has

icome, if Canada is to take its |that the suburban areas pro-

iwill, have | to be provided by

agreement between the federal government «and the provinces assuring at thé same time that

there shall be no_ interference with the exclusive- jurisdiction of the provinces . over eduta-

tion.”

The aid-to-education plank is undérstood to have been devel- oped as a broadening of the pro- gram of federal assistance for

construction and maintenance of/technical schools initiated by ithe former ‘Progressive Con- servative government.

Under that program the fed= jeral government agreed with

the provinces.to pay 75 per cent ‘of construction costs of techni-

The Governor-General is ex- pected to ‘open a new session Monday with a longer-than-usual throne speech outlining the government's legislative pro- gram for 1965.

The interim supply bill au- thorizes the government to meet day-to-day bills in April and May pending approval of the 1965-66 spending estimates,

The measure was passed with- in 10 minutes after the end of the dinner adjournment on the second day of debate. It was expected to get speedy approval in the Senate today.

The Commons then turned to the final item before the cur- rent session—additional spend- ling estimates of $245,.581,000 for the fiscal year ended Wednes- | day.

Thursday was the 247th ‘sitting | of the session.
