HEALTH SERVICES

W! will set up a positive national health programme including im- proved nutritional standards, an efficient preventive health service |and a. contributory health insur- ance scheme.

The health of a. Canadian in any one province is as much a matter oi’ vtal national concern as the health oi a Canadian in any other province.

Therefore pending the setting up of this national health. programme. we will make grants to all the Provinces according to standards and in amounts to be agreed upon, so that they may work out health programmes of their own.

FARMERS

In our economy up to now the farmer. his fasnil and farm workers have been n the class of the forgotten man. Except in war time and other exceptional per- lods many farmers have had to exist at standards oi living below the level of common decency, while as a class they have received less than a roper share oi the nation's

prosperity. Al attempts in the past to alle- viate their conditions have been of a haphazard and piece meal chur- aoicr. Yet, on agriculture depends the whole basic life of the nation, it; food and its health, including its economic health. When the farmer is prosperous the nation is prosperous. What we propose is a complete and scientific programme for the farmer so as to assure him standards of living consistent with portance in the llie of the whole community.

is will be done by s system o! iair prices to be announced before the season of production so that

confidence tha he will receive a just share of the national income. The farmer can thus plan on assured decent standards: he will

EXPANSION OF INTERNAL ECONOMY

tremendous con-

Canada must adjust its sights L human needs. We need more a1; better food. Properly balance- diet must be brought within tn.- reach of all Canadians. We need lhundreds of thousands oi new lhomes and the removal of thous- iands of unsuitable dwellings, enough to keep the building 1x17. dustries busy with large employ-l ment for many years. .

We need more clothing.

We need more schools, morei medical and dental care: more hospitals and hospital beds. l

We need more automobiles, elec- ‘ tric power, bath tubs. refrigerators. vacuum cleaners and other home conveniences, particularly for rural use.

We need more transportation b road, rail, sea and air.

We need more vacations with pa, and more tourist trade.

We need to spend more money on more scientific research. 1 We need more venture capital to develop our natural resources and expand our production. We need more purchasing power and less repressive taxation.

In supplying these needs Can adians will obtain increased pur- chasing power. which will mean in-l ‘CTGBJQG wages. increased farm ’prices and fair industrial profits.

The Progressive Conservative Party recognizes these needs and the potential consumer market wvhlch results therefrom. Our pol- icies are designed to stimulate thc production oi the goods required to meet the needs of the Canadia" people and those of our GXDO’ trade, and to provide the pilffihll’ ing power necessary to buy then" thereby maintaining a high levc of production and of national in» come. In any threatened perlo? of trade depression, the Govern- ment will put into effect a pro ‘gramme of socially desirable pro. ‘jects planned in advance and dc signed to create employment. Th real foundation of social securiv is jobs at good pay, to which ob Jective this Party's policies are dlr» ected.

UTILIZATION OI‘ WAR PLANTS

i

Our objective is the full utillz: tion of these plants after the waz! for the Purpose oi employmen." and production for peacetime use | To the extent that it may be nee-l essary for the continued manufac-f ture oi war materials in any of‘ these plants, our policy is that! such plants should continue to be owned and operated by the gov-‘ ernment. l

We believe that all other or these plants should be, disposed oi to industry. on iair terms, and operated by industry and not by: the government in competition with private enterprise. »

NATURAL BEBOUIQB

The unnecessary and wasteful exploitation oi our forests, fish- eries. soil. mines and water re- sources must cease.

Up to now, vest areas oi our forests have been laid waste, our fisheries have been seriously dam- aged. the fertility oi the soil has been lessened. our mineral wealth is rapidly diminishing; the risk of spring floods. drought and soil erosion has been increased.

In short. we have been living on

the nation's capital and the peoples mlrthrlght has been seriously dim- inlshed. ' This course must be reversed. There must be development - but development with conservation. not development with unnecessary waste. . Our policy will be based upon the‘ prlncip oi managing. developing= and conserving our natural re-A sources so as to achieve the great- est possible annual return from Ithem oneietent with their pre-. servation as a continuing source oi‘ wealth for future generations. To this end we will make provision ior, ,generous financial assistance from ithe Dominion to the Provinces to aid them in planned development and conservation.

This is a matter of such na- tional importance that it will be given one oi the top priorities at the Dominion-Provincial conference to be called immediately after the election.
