What do we find? An overall surplus for these five years of $1.- 771000. or a total suFDlus for the twelve years of Liberal Adminis- tration of 82,700.000. Can the Leader of the Opposition or his Party call this piling up huge de- ficits? Isl this financial bankrupt- cy? The Conservative Government had to borrow $391000- 10 m9" u! deficits accumulated during the four years it was in power. Dur- ing the twelve years of Liberal ad- ministration the Liberal Govern- ment borrowed not one cent to finance deficit oh vfdillliry Bccwnl and had the magnificent sum of S2,7C0.000 to place in lhc sinking Funds. Liberal Borrowing: You have now before you two , statements one made bv DI‘- MacMilian on September 15th and the other made by me W51 "°“'- 1 , believe it is abundantly clear that both statements cannot be right- ’ 0h )13y'i5, 1947, the Jones Gov- crnment borrowed 51000-000. for highwav construction at a rate so good that; no other Province in r Canada cver borrowed at a better rate and seldom. if ever, did any other Province borrc-w at as 800d a rate. If Dr. MacMillans state- mcnt is correct. then the bond houses and financial institutions of Canada extended to a bankrupt» Province the best rate that they ever cxtended to any Province in -~'Canada. In other words, the bond houses and financial institutions of Canada don't knc-w their own business. On the other hand, if my statement is correct, the bond houses and financial institutions of Canada know what they are do- inz and gave this Province the ex- (‘client rate they did because of its splendid financial position and its record of surpluses during the twelve years of Liberal adminis- tration.

The three-day conference, which brought together representatives of the Dominion and Provincial Governments, endorsed the prin- ciple of uniformity before adopt- ing a committee report recom- mending several changes in gov- ernment accounting methods. Embodying their views in a re- solution, the delegates said they wished to "endorse the principle of a broad general measure of uniformity in accounting at all levels of government, consistent with individual requirements and standards." They expressed belief that Lhl: uniformity should be sought end achieved a: soon a: possible. The delegates, whose iscusaion: mainly were in the technical vein, reaffirmed their view that the Dominion Bureau of Statistics through co-operation of provincial authorities should be able to sup- ply annuully up-to-date informa- tion sufficient to meet require- ment: of the Government and the public. Aoceptenc: of the Bureau‘: fig- ure: by :11 iniereatewpertle: would eliminate the necessity of provin- ci:l governments duplicating the Bureau’: work in some fields.
