In Nova Scotia they are obtaining a large part. from their royalties from their lnfncs; In New Brunswick they oh- taln considerable revenue from stunlpuge; and in Quebec and un- t.'.rio they have vast natural re- sources which yield large revenues] in an indirect way.

To assert that we only can- trlbute a small proportion to the revenues of Canada is an unfair and unjust way of stating our caserl, How much do we receive back for. what we have contributed? Thatl is the question. we have received back, than any‘ other Province of Canada. (Ap- clause.) Upon all these grounds, thore- forc, I suy that we are entlted to consideration and compensation for the disadvantages under which we have been silfterlng so long.
