Hon. Mr. Bushes said it was known about a year ago that there would 111K811’ be some dissenting provinces.

Mic cmlioraitloru will pay 3 percent

Mr- Strobe: "Why did that's percent: tax become necessary?‘ ,

Mr. Strong: "That is a flimsy argument." g Not Uniform i H. Hunter: "It boils NE I

Mr. Hughes: "But it will be st a 105s to the Province of Nova Eco? tia." ‘

Mr. Himter: "It will be a saving to the people c! Nova Sootia; itl will be a loss to the Govexmrnenn, Ln the (use of Nova. Scotla. it will‘ go to the people of Nova Sootia. In, our case we collect thg money and hand it over to the nonunion Gov-l

Mr. R. R. Bell said he did not . think the Legislature had a right ' to pass this bill. His under-f standing of the Itmlnion agree-= moat was that the Provinces we're to drop out of the corporation- tax field altogether. ‘Ilte Min- ister has stated that the money w-ill be collected by the Domin- ion Guvei ‘ and go into con- solidated revenue. Olause ‘I of U12 agreement. on the other frond states that; this tax is for provin- cial revenue purposes.

In reply to a question Mr. Hughes said that personal corp- orations which are now assessed: under the Dominion statute would be taxed under this bill.

Hon. Mir. Barbour slid it might be possible to avoid coming under the Act as a corporation. by hav- ing a partnership.

Mr. Strong: "You will find Lllnt they vrl"l wring every cent out of these small corporations that they can."

Mr. Hughes in reply to further questions said the Act was draft- ed so as to work in conform"!

with the Dominion statute. More Bureaucracy Mr. Hunter: "It is probably

the beginning of a new Domin- ion-Provinclal setup. .We know there is a bureaucracy that is; endeavorlng to centre everything st Ottawa. Here we have s tax bill drafted by the Ottawa con-l trailers. It ls very difficult to’ understand the provisions, Mien‘ the promoter admits that he knows very little about it. It is a bill provided to tax ourselves. and it will probably be the be- ginning of the end of provincial autonomy.

Hon. Mr. Hughes: "This I be- lieve is indirectly of inestlmablel value to the Province in any fut- ilre negotiations with Ottawa. By» virtue of this tax every corpora- tion doing business ln more than nnc Province must show ln its returns the amount of its profits earned in this Province."

Hon. M1‘. Stewart: “Iit is the contention that the manufactur- ing Provinces have made s lot of their money in Prince Edward Island. ‘This glvcs a chance to get some of it back."

Mr. Strong: "How art- you go. lntf fo collect it from them?"

Mr. Hughes: "Ontario mid Que- bec particularly say. ‘We pay so much of the corporation and in- come taxes of Canada.’ They don't pay it. they merely collect. for their Province a great deal" of what is earned in other Prov- inces. This breaks the figures dtOWH and we will know after a few years what percentage of the corporation tax is actually earn-l ed." '

Mr. Mathesonz. “This additional! 5 per cent. wouldn't have to be: collected to do that." > 1 i i l

ten, or fifteen years into the fut- ura and prepare for the commg problems. There was no need to worry about the fish "crop". It re- quired no fertilizer. it was in the sea ready for the taking.

Mr. Hamish of Burn: Fisheries.

Di‘. Cooper. It required money to build and operate fl-shing equip- ment and it required o lot of labour to bring the fish to shore. Mr. Hamish found fattlt. with the conduct of the meeting. A lct

of charts on the wail showing the '

increase hi fish production did not mean a thing and offered no enlightenment to anyone present. Everyone knew theradisri been an increase in fishery production. The essential thing was v.0 tlo something about the surplus fish in cold storage and "start with a clean slate." There were 180 mil- lion pounds of fish in cold storige in the United States and two mil‘- lion pounds irrCanada, Most of that fish was now a poor‘ article of food and the best thing to do would be to get clear of it. in some way and keep the market supplied with s. wholesome product.

Mr. T. R. Ciourton thought fish could be kept in sood condition in cold storage for a considerable pcr- lod. His firm dealt wholly in froz. en fish and their business was growling steadily.

Before the meeting adjourned. Messrs. S. W. Fairweathcr and W. M. Maxwell of the Canadian Na- tional Railways arrived accom- panied by Mir. Stewart Bates, de- puty-minlstcr of fisheries, Ottawa.

Mr. Fair-weather said his office

concerned itself with research and development. The railway had been constantly seeking ta improve its refrigerator cars and the new car with tho overhead bunker liacl Proved to be superior to the old end-cat- type. The railway, Mr. Fairweather said, was interested in giving the bcst service possible to the fishing industry. ’ Mr. Maxwell sad that tht- Rail- way was more conscious now of the importance of Canada's fishing industry to the economy of the country than it had been before; the war and would continue to g.ve' its best to- the industry.

Mt". Bates said the hour was bun late to say anything but ha hoped‘ to be able to contritbute something to the conference before its close.

Afternoon Meeting

Ml‘. Clyde Planta, secretary-man- ager of the Fisheries Council of Canada. started off the ufterttuon discussion by saying that the fu- ture of the Canadian fishing in-

of ils product. The “honeymoon was over" and the return to more normal conditions would requzre a higher quality of ‘fish products ‘if the Canadian industry was to meet the world's competition. The Canadian people. Mr. Plants said, only ate 8.4 pounds of fish per capifa annually; they ate 159 pounds of meat; 35 pounds of poultry; Ni pounds of eggs; and four pounds of cheese. Mr. Plants suggested

the luxury classification. The ob- ject of the regulation on the part of Britain was. Dr. Gilbert said, to enable her to spend as little ll possi-ble in dollar exchange.

Col. A. L. Barry, chief supervisor eastern fisheries division, ‘showed by means of charts the great in- crease in Canadian fish production during the war years. Practically all fish and fish products with the exception of canned herring in- creased both ‘m quantity Ind in price. 1943 was the peak year for production.

Discusses Income Taxes

Dr. A. M. A. Mnclliean, president New Brunswick Fish Gunners, speaking at the morning session said the only way for Canada to increase her production was by re- ducing the income taxes on‘ the lo-w-income brackets. Absenteeism in the coal mines of England was owing, Dr. MacLean said, to the miner refusing to work when his taxes began to approach the latter part of his week's earnings.

Hitler had spurred his people on to increased production at the beginning ‘of the war but defeated his object when he increased taxes.

It was folly, Dr. Mbcheart sai-d, for the Government to expect that the Canadian worker would work when that labour only meant giving the reward of his toll to the Government. If the socialist- minded worker of Britain balked at working long hours for it Soc- ialist Government, how could at Canadian Government expect to keep its workers on the job under free enterprise? ~

Dr. MacLean said the Catttrdian married woman feels she ls being told to get back to the house when she i-s taxed on anything she earns over $250. The imposition of such a tax is causing industry and the professions to lose the service of many valuable women, Dr. Mac- Legn said. He recommended that the single man be exempted up _to $1.200 and the married man up to| $2.400. Then production will go ahead at full speed, Dr. MauLeon concluded.
