Mr. R. R. Bell said he did not . think the Legislature had a right ' to pass this bill. His under-f standing of the Itmlnion agree-= moat was that the Provinces we're to drop out of the corporation- tax field altogether. ‘Ilte Min- ister has stated that the money w-ill be collected by the Domin- ion Guvei ‘ and go into con- solidated revenue. Olause ‘I of U12 agreement. on the other frond states that; this tax is for provin- cial revenue purposes. In reply to a question Mr. Hughes said that personal corp- orations which are now assessed: under the Dominion statute would be taxed under this bill. Hon. Mir. Barbour slid it might be possible to avoid coming under the Act as a corporation. by hav- ing a partnership. Mr. Strong: "You will find Lllnt they vrl"l wring every cent out of these small corporations that they can." Mr. Hughes in reply to further questions said the Act was draft- ed so as to work in conform"! I with the Dominion statute. More Bureaucracy Mr. Hunter: "It is probably the beginning of a new Domin- ion-Provinclal setup. .We know there is a bureaucracy that is; endeavorlng to centre everything st Ottawa. Here we have s tax bill drafted by the Ottawa con-l trailers. It ls very difficult to’ understand the provisions, Mien‘ the promoter admits that he knows very little about it. It is a bill provided to tax ourselves. and it will probably be the be- ginning of the end of provincial autonomy. Hon. Mr. Hughes: "This I be- lieve is indirectly of inestlmablel value to the Province in any fut- ilre negotiations with Ottawa. By» virtue of this tax every corpora- tion doing business ln more than nnc Province must show ln its returns the amount of its profits earned in this Province." Hon. M1‘. Stewart: “Iit is the contention that the manufactur- ing Provinces have made s lot of their money in Prince Edward Island. ‘This glvcs a chance to get some of it back." Mr. Strong: "How art- you go. lntf fo collect it from them?" Mr. Hughes: "Ontario mid Que- bec particularly say. ‘We pay so much of the corporation and in- come taxes of Canada.’ They don't pay it. they merely collect. for their Province a great deal" of what is earned in other Prov- inces. This breaks the figures dtOWH and we will know after a few years what percentage of the corporation tax is actually earn-l ed."

It required money to build and operate fl-shing equip- ment and it required o lot of labour to bring the fish to shore. Mr. Hamish found fattlt. with the conduct of the meeting. A lct of charts on the wail showing the ' increase hi fish production did not mean a thing and offered no enlightenment to anyone present. Everyone knew theradisri been an increase in fishery production. The essential thing was v.0 tlo something about the surplus fish in cold storage and "start with a clean slate." There were 180 mil- lion pounds of fish in cold storige in the United States and two mil‘- lion pounds irrCanada, Most of that fish was now a poor‘ article of food and the best thing to do would be to get clear of it. in some way and keep the market supplied with s. wholesome product. Mr. T. R. Ciourton thought fish could be kept in sood condition in cold storage for a considerable pcr- lod. His firm dealt wholly in froz. en fish and their business was growling steadily. Before the meeting adjourned. Messrs. S. W. Fairweathcr and W. M. Maxwell of the Canadian Na- tional Railways arrived accom- panied by Mir. Stewart Bates, de- puty-minlstcr of fisheries, Ottawa. Mr. Fair-weather said his office concerned itself with research and development. The railway had been constantly seeking ta improve its refrigerator cars and the new car with tho overhead bunker liacl Proved to be superior to the old end-cat- type. The railway, Mr. Fairweather said, was interested in giving the bcst service possible to the fishing industry. ’ Mr. Maxwell sad that tht- Rail- way was more conscious now of the importance of Canada's fishing industry to the economy of the country than it had been before; the war and would continue to g.ve' its best to- the industry. Mt". Bates said the hour was bun late to say anything but ha hoped‘ to be able to contritbute something to the conference before its close. i Afternoon Meeting Ml‘. Clyde Planta, secretary-man- ager of the Fisheries Council of Canada. started off the ufterttuon discussion by saying that the fu- ture of the Canadian fishing in- of ils product. The “honeymoon was over" and the return to more normal conditions would requzre a higher quality of ‘fish products ‘if the Canadian industry was to meet the world's competition. The Canadian people. Mr. Plants said, only ate 8.4 pounds of fish per capifa annually; they ate 159 pounds of meat; 35 pounds of poultry; Ni pounds of eggs; and four pounds of cheese. Mr. Plants suggested the luxury classification. The ob- ject of the regulation on the part of Britain was. Dr. Gilbert said, to enable her to spend as little ll possi-ble in dollar exchange. Col. A. L. Barry, chief supervisor eastern fisheries division, ‘showed by means of charts the great in- crease in Canadian fish production during the war years. Practically all fish and fish products with the exception of canned herring in- creased both ‘m quantity Ind in price. 1943 was the peak year for production. Discusses Income Taxes Dr. A. M. A. Mnclliean, president New Brunswick Fish Gunners, speaking at the morning session said the only way for Canada to increase her production was by re- ducing the income taxes on‘ the lo-w-income brackets. Absenteeism in the coal mines of England was owing, Dr. MacLean said, to the miner refusing to work when his taxes began to approach the latter part of his week's earnings. Hitler had spurred his people on to increased production at the beginning ‘of the war but defeated his object when he increased taxes. It was folly, Dr. Mbcheart sai-d, for the Government to expect that the Canadian worker would work when that labour only meant giving the reward of his toll to the Government. If the socialist- minded worker of Britain balked at working long hours for it Soc- ialist Government, how could at Canadian Government expect to keep its workers on the job under free enterprise? ~ Dr. MacLean said the Catttrdian married woman feels she ls being told to get back to the house when she i-s taxed on anything she earns over $250. The imposition of such a tax is causing industry and the professions to lose the service of many valuable women, Dr. Mac- Legn said. He recommended that the single man be exempted up _to $1.200 and the married man up to| $2.400. Then production will go ahead at full speed, Dr. MauLeon concluded. Dr. A. LaBrie, deputyminister of fisheries for the Province of Que- bec. gave an outline of the fishing industry in his Province. Some Markets Lost Not long ago, Dr. LaBrie said, Quebec had s big export market for dried cod in Brazil, Italy, Port- ugal. U.S.A., and Puerto Rico. One by one, for economic reasons, the markets had been last. Finally, only the American and Puerto Rico markets were left. to Quebec but. utifortuiiateiy, they were only for lower grades of tirled fish. There had been some ill feeling between the Quebec and Novel Scotia fishing interests which began when Quebec erected its own artificial flesh dryer at Rlmouski in 1941. Another cause for some “feel- lng", Dr. LaBrie said. was the de- cision of the fishermen of the Mag- dalen Islands to export their own fish. ' He did not believe there mas any reason for lack of confidence in the future of the sa-lt water fish industry. The Quebec prod-not. wus- not afraid of fair competition and that an intensive advertising campaign would lncreasg the demand in Canard; for fish. ,1 Mr. Philip Robinson, Ottawa,‘ that issid he agreed wi-th Mr. Planttrs able t0 FY0511" 15 "in Provincial fremsrks.

Canada had not approached that figure but the system had been working well hare and had been of great, ser- vloe to many exporters. The policy ambled an exporter to ship goods to a foreign buyer with the satis- surld.

The catching and utilization of fish for food is without doubt one of the oldest food procuring act- ivities of man. but the wholesale distribution of fish and fish pro- ducts could not. become of great importance until scientific study and inventive genius provided methods of preservation. trans- portation and distribution there- by permltting the serving of wholescmc,_ tasty fish to large populations remote from the flshintf Brounds. Unfortunately of fish as a source of high pro- tcln food as compared with meat is still relatively small in our mm country and in the United States. l that will consume the production of'an industry which has during I0 per cent of those averaged dur- ing the years 1030.

Iit. is unthinkable to look for- ward to a time, perhaps in the near future. when the income of ous fishermen. who are the very foundation of the fishing indus- try, migtit be comparable to what it was only s few years ago. According to the Fab. issue of "Monthly Review of Canadian Fisheries Statistics" the average wholesale prices of Fishery pro- ducts during 1946 wet-c twice as lttigh as in the basic period, 1996 to 1960 whereas meat and poultry were up 1.6 timt-s and all foods only 1.46 times. Wc must remem- ber. however, that the prices of fish products were so low during the basic period that fishermen could not make a decent living and dealers and packers were working for next to nothing. i Must $00k Markets I-t is therefore up to us are purchasers. processors, distributors of Canada's catch Atlantic fish to find a way prevent prices from taking any drastic drop and at the same time to sell this "geared up" pra- duction. Where are we to look for markets that will provide econ- omic. stability for our fishermen and ourselves? Foreign markets may become more readily available.

We must also give very clou attention to creating an increas- ed demand for our fisheries pro- ducts in‘ our own country and in the United States. This will ‘mean more and bet- ter advertising than the industry has ever attempted ‘before, and such antagonism and prontute the sale of our products in increased quantities. The United Slatcs. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wild. life Service in a recent Fisheries Products Report has given m..- siderablc space to Newfoundland zcgulations on fillitlng and freez- ing fish. This moans that iiiuy wish to inform their own fish- ing industry that they should watch the quality of their pro- duct in order to be able to meet thc competition of what may be superior products from othfl‘ countries. Better Orgathlzed We of the Canadian Fishing Industry are today in a better position than over before to tac- klc our problems because we are boiler organized. We have a Department of Fitti- eries in Ottawa that is very much aware of our needs, a De- partment that not only has ex- pert scientists and technologist: working for us but one that ls working in closer touch vrltli the industry than ever before. We have the Fisher!‘ Council cf Catiada now only two years old which has grovrn in import- ance to the industry far beyond the expectations oi its found- ers. and tied closely to the Fish- eries Council we have our local organizations made up of the fishing companies. processors, co- operative enterprises, etc. Tlic- governments of all fish producing countries are becom- ing more and more active in looking after the interests of their fisheries in all its phases. some of which have international importance. F. A. 0., The Food and Ag-ri- cultural Organization of tile Uni- ted Nations, ha: forwarded to member governments a progress- ive report and summary of it: 1947 program. The part of this report related to the Fisheries Division directed by Dr. Finn, who as you know was formerly our own Deputy Minister of fisher- ies, is particularly important to us. The work of this Fisheries ‘provided with considerable being able to back up this adver- tising with high quality products. attractively packaged and dds- played. ‘The retail dealer coming in close contact with the consumer is a very important link in the laroccss of distribution.
