..'The importance of construc-

on of the Chignecto Canal in con- be Junction with Seaway was emphasised in the Senate Chamber on February 3rd by Senator J. P. Mclntyre. Fol- lowing are excerpts from his ad- dress:

the St. Lawrence

"I understand that this great

project the St. Lawrence will be financed partly by New York State and Ontario for power pur- poses, and by the United States

enator M'c'lnlyre' Urges Chignecto Canal Proiect

federation these markets would last.

"To offset this, certain induce ments were held out to the peo- pic of the Maritime: to consent to Confederation: I better and more Profitable market. that of the central provinces. might be substituted therefor; the coat of Nova Scolia was to find a mar- ket in Toronto; the fish, lumber and agricultural products were to find a market in Quebec and Montreal.

"But as time went on it was found almost impossible to fulfil these promises, and it turned out that the coat of Nova Scotia did not find is market in Toronto. and that the fish. lumber and agricul- tural products did not find a mar- ket in Quebec and Montreal. In the'meantime. the New England markets had been lost. And this is one of the reasons why the Maritime Provinces are lagging behind the rest of the provinces of Canada.

SHORTEH WATER ROUTE

"With the construction of the Chlgnecto Canal, the markets between the Maritimes, the cen- tral provincu and New England. would be shortened by an aver- age distance of 568 miles: for in- stance. from Charlottetown to Boston. 442 miles; from Montreal

the people of the Maritime prov- inces to demand that the Chignecto Canal be constructed without fur- ther delay, as an extension of the St. Lawrence Seaway? "The building of the Chignectu Canal in conjunction with the St. Lawrence Seaway. on which it large amount of money is to be spent. would give the Msritimes I short route to the New Eng- land States. I think it is up to the members of the House of Commons and Senators from the Maritime Provinces. to stand to- gether and fight to have this long overdue and important project. promised at the time of Confedera- tion, made a reality. PROVINCIAL INDEBTEDNESS

Senator Mcintyre went on to point out. from figures compiled by the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics. that at the end of 1952 or the first part of I953 the prov- incial debt of Canada": ten prov- inces rose in one year by 55279.- 622,000 to a total of 53,145,004. On a population basis this worked out to ;2i8.33 for each person in Can- edit, an increase of 513.37 for that year. It may be. he said, that the tax rental agreements should be revised to give the provinces more rent. According to the statistics. British Columbia had a per capitn debt of 5240. Albert of S118. Saskatchewan of slits. Manitoba of Still, Ontario of 5299, Quebec of 3162, New Brunswick of 3340. Nova Scotla of 3280. Prince Edward Island
