Provinces Inquiry

“unadjusted”.

OTTAWA, Nov. 5 4cm _ The Provinces have failed to refund $3,- 790389 of a total of $6,360,240 in un- employment relief advances from the Dominion which it Vas consid- ered they had not been entitled to receive, it was shown in U16 annual report of the auditor-general, Wat. son Selior, today.

The report, tabled in the House of Commons by Finance Minister Isley and covering the fiscal year 1940-41, said that in 1932 the audi- tor-uenerai was directed to conduct such an audit of provincial and municipal accounts in connection with unemployment rellef expendi- tures as he deemed essential to safeguard the interests of the dom- inion treasury.

These examinations resulted in recommendations that $6,369,240 be recovered, either because the ex

pendituies did not qualify wilful.‘

the terms of an agreement. or he- couse the claimant authority had not adequately proved its claims. "Of this amount. $l.076,2l9 was refunded and the dominion govern- ment has waived the right 10 re- claim with respect to accounts Io- talllng $1.523,73l." Mr, Sella!" said. He said counter claims had been ruitcred by British Columbia and Quebec in particular and the long lapse of time since the expendi- tures were made and changes m administrative agencies now pro- vided obstacles to adjustments. The unadjusted amounts by pr.)- vinces follow; Prince Edward Is- land, $27,360; Nova Scotia, $97,806; New Brunswick, $59,001; Quebec, $916,074; Ontario, $379,112; Mfllll- toba, $210,978; Saskatchewan. $4,227

033,640.

Total of relief expenditures by the dominion, including loans out- standing, was $859,376,946, Mr. sei- lnr said.
