Federal Finance Minister Don- ald Fleming. in a speech winding up the open sittings. estimated the total provincial demands as costing “something substantially in excess of 81.500.000.000 year." E < 0! Mr. Diefenbaker told reporters afterwards that it had been made clear to the premiers that “there are just so many dollars" in the federal treasury.

"It was agreed that a subseq- uent meeting be held as soon as possible in the new year in ac- cordance with the proposal made ' the Dominion government in calling this conference." REACTIONS VARIED Provincial premiers expressed varied opinions when questioned by reporters following the meet- ing. Premier Frost of Ontario was asked whether the federal gov- m ernment showed indications of meeting his province's position. which involved a sharp - ex- panded provincial share of na- tional revenues. “I wouldn't say that." he re- plied. "But it was a very excel- lent conference and there was a good attitude all around." Premier Campbell of Manitoba. asked about the federal reception to his proposals. which included a bid for an even larger share than Ontario asked. said "We're always hopcful anyway can't say more than that." Prcmicr Duplessis of Quebec had nothing to say to reporters. but 3 Quebec delegation official would be divided among the four provinces likely would be dis- cussed at the resumption of the conference. The expansion of federal aid to pI‘U\lIl(‘lal unemployment relief costs will involve elimination of the present socalled “t.lireshold" by which federal sharing starts only after unemployment in a province excee s .45 per cent of its population. Thus it will cover virtually all cases except those receiving un- employment insurance or help under general governmental so- cial welfare programs like old age assistance to the needy and mothers‘ allowances The planned speed-u in the start of federal hospital in- surance payments could benefit four provinces at the outset- British Columbia. Alberta. Sask- atchewan and Newfoundland. all of which have plans in operation that could be tailored to meet federal requirements. Under the existing limitation. had not been expected that federal hospital payments would start before Jan. I. I959-—planned launching date of Ontario's plan. The communique omitted any mention of a suggestion put for- ward at the conference opening by Mr. Diefenbaker: that the fed- eral government was prepared to extend hospital insurance pay- -ments cov mental and TB hospital patients. He hinted strongly then that the estimated cost $68. . a year. if taken on. would be deducted mi any amount available for -. I 3 general tax-sharing concessions. PROPOSAL DISCUSSED r.
