Instead, the formula, if ac- = cepted, would mérely allow Can- ada to amend the constitution without the need to refer such plans to the British Parliament for approval.
“But the constitution itself-— the British North America Act would still be a British stat- ute,” he said.
WANTS STATUTE
| He suggested instead of the present formula, worked out at a federal - provincial conference last fall, the BNA Act should “first be made a statute of the Parliament of Canada” and then the question of amendment procedures and other necessary changes could be worked out by the projected national confer-

Mr. Nowlan said the tax cut was purely political'and not an instrument to stimulate the eco- nomy. It was an ineffectual bid for votes in the next election, at the risk of causing financial instability. Farmers had not been helped in any way.
At another point he said this was not an election budget. “If it is, the Liberal party ‘is even more bankrupt than I thought it was.” He said the “public rela- tions boys’ did a good job of selling the budget. so it got big headlines and good publicity.

Mr. Cameron said the consiit- utional problems involved in fi- nancing aspects of education within. provincial jurisdiction must not stand in the way of the federal governinent because many of the deficiencies in the Canadian educational sy stem were at the pre - university levels.
