It is a deplorable fact that under thd inte Liberal regime in this pro- vince and at Ottawa on many occa- sions our provincial interest; were not only neglected but often sacrific- ed. I need only give a few instances to show that the "eternal vigilance" was not exercised in those cases but that the provincial governments.tlien in power, slept on their rights. The building of the Hillsborough Bridge is a case in point.

On the other hand the resolution recommend- ed the removal of limitations by which on one item alone, namely on ner capita subsidy, the Province of Ontario then got an increase of $629,- 000, and Quebec $429,000 per year. and this apart from what they obtain- ed on other grounds.
