B.N.A.A.

OITAWA. my l5—Ovcr the protests of opposition parties, the House of Commons passed a resolu- tion tonight as the first stop in amending the British North Am- e’-‘ico Act. the wrlttai constitution of the country. It now goes to the Senate and eventually to the Par- liament of the United Kingdom for final action.

Ttvo changes would be made in the constitution. The first would Widen the taxation field of the provinces by permitting them to impose sales taxes on all retail transactions with the exception of liquors and tobaccos. The second would empower the Dominion to guarantee provincial borrowings and permit the province: to hy- pothicato their federal subsidies on securities.

“Unwisc," Sly! Bennett

Conservative leader Bennett said the taxation change was unwise and the guarantee provision un- §l€oe&S5Ty. the power already exist- rig.

Hon. H. H. Stevens (Recon. Kootenay East) claimed the tax- ation Prltblems of the provinces would not be settled by the changes. I-lo foresaw a situation where the federal sales taxtwould be nullified by conflicting and excessive pro- vincial tum-over taxes.

It would have been a better solu- tion to taxation problems, Mr. Stevens said. if the provinces had agreed to impose no ‘ taxes. Then the Dominion could have raised its percentages and split the proceeds 50-50 with the provinces.

The revenues of the provinces. said Finance Minister Dunning. were not equal to their demand! and something had to be done to strengthen their finances. In the past six years. the Dominion had loaned $ll5.000.000 to the Western Provinces and "if we continue along the road we have been trav- elling we will soon reach the state where in connection with several provinces the Dominion will be the principal creditor."

Replying to criticism from the social Credit group, the Finance Minister said there was nothing sinister about the guarantee pro- visions. There was no attempt be- ing made to dominate the prov- inoes or subordinate them to the Dominion in financial matters.

The government, continued Mr. Dunning, was attempting to co- operate with the provinces in some regularined way to take them out of the morass into which they had drifted in recent years. He defend- ed the proposal for the Dominion to dictate the terms under which its guarantee would be made. claiming it was necessary if Par- liament was not to nbdloate its control over Dominion credit.

Legislation Unnecessary

The Conservative leader claimed both the provinces md the Do- minion had the powa to give and accept gusnniees without more legislation.

Minister of Justice Lcpointc said all provinces desired the 08809105 changes, going on record at the December Dominion-provincial con- ference. It was not an 1ll-consld- cred move but done only “W months of consideration and study-

Provincial Governments To Be Authorized To Impose Still More Taxes.

The Justice Minister could not agree with the Conservative leader the Dominion, by giving the prov- inces the right to collect a sales tax, lost jurisdiction to collect one itself. He quoted parts of the British North America. Act to com- bat the argument.

Why not argue the provinces would use the power in an honest. common sense way. Mr. Lapointe asked. He was referring to the argument of the Conservative lead- er thc provinces might abuse the power by allowing municipalities to collect sales tax. It must be as- sumed legislntive power would not be abused.

The Minister of Justice insisted neither the Dominion nor the provinces bad power necessary. to sign guarantee agreements. He wondered lf.people thought the government introduced the resolu- tion just for the fun of it or to harm someone. The government merely was making sure the con- stitutional barriers were removed- "doing the right thing in the right way.”
