Confederation

OTTAWA (CP) — Liberal Sen- ator Calvert C. Pratt of New- foundiand said Thursday that if the federal government does not live up to its legal and moral obligations confederation with the island province can be written off as a failure.

He said in a Senate debate on federal-provincial tax-sharing ar- rangements that “the union of Newfoundland with Canada is only partly completed.” The province was as much a “foreign country”’ to most Canadians as it was before Confederation in 1949. ;

Senator Pratt said “‘widespread alarm” was caused in Newfound- jand by Prime Minister Diefen- baker’s Commons statement March 25 that the federal< gov- ernment will have fulfilled spe- cial financial agreements with the province under terms of un- jon when it has paid grants amounting to $36,500,000 between now and March 31, 1962.

NO OBLIGATIONS?

Mr. Diefenbaker’s statement, Senator Pratt said, created the impression that the federal gov- ernment “will not regard itself as having any special obligations to Newfoundland arising out of the circumstances of union in 1943.”’

“If that is to be an official at- titude by the government of Can- ada we in Newfoundland . must take it for granted that after 13 years we may have to face up to a condition that we are not wanted any longer as a prov- ince.”

The terms of union, Senator Pratt said, contained an obliga- tion by the federal authority to review the terms of its financial arrangements with Newfoundland and to make adjustments in the future. There was a clear impli- cation that such a review was to be of « continuing nature to en- able the province te maintain public services at appropriate levels without burdensome taxa- tion.

Under Article 29 of the terms of union the federal government ap- pointed a royal commission in 1957 to review the province's fi- nancial position. It was instructed to recommend the form-and scale

if any, required by the province to enable it to maintain public services on a par with those in the other Atlantic provinces with- out additional taxation.

NO MENTION OF TIME

There is no mention in the

Diefenbaker said March 25 that it should continue only to March 31, 1962.

The commission recommended the payment the government pro- poses to make to Newfoundland between now and 1962, and it also recommended an annual payment of $8,000,000 after that year. The province asked for $15,000,000 a year starting in 1957.

Mr. Diefenbaker has said the government will review the mat- ter of aid to Newfoundland after 1962 in the general context of pay- ments to all provinces, agree- ments for which will expire in that year.

Senator Pratt described the commission recommendation as inadequate. The province had submitted a “fully substantiated case” for the $15,000,000.

WRONG INTERPRETATION

“Tt was never intended nor was it implied that the revision, as and when recommended by the royal commission, was to be final and complete and that all con- sideration of Newfoundland’s spe- cial circumstances and changing situations would be cut off on a certain date,” he said.

out effort to implement good faith by a thorough understanding, then union can be written off as a failure.”

Unless Newfoundland’s unique financial circumstances were rec- ognized by Ottawa the people of the province would feel that a “legal and moral obligation on the part of the Dominion of Can- ada has been completely disre- garded.”

The basic issue ‘was for New- foundland to be able to develop services without taxation more burdensome than in the other At- lantic provinces. Capacity of Newfoundland citizens to pay for such services called for examina- tion of the province’s financial picture “right on into. the fu- ture.”
