Budgetary Optimism The resounding note in the budget speech of Provincial Treasurer Farm- | er in the Legislature last evening was | one of optimism, Whether this optim- | -ism will be shared by the Opposition -4s,-of course, another question; but certainly there are aspects of the budget which are reassuring. First, it is evident that the Government has, in its controllable expenditures—on ordinary account, been doing well. For the last fiscal year it reports a surplus on this account of $824,267, with a less-than-forecast liabilities in- year, the interim statement shows a surplus on ordinary account of $1,274,949 as against the estimate last year of only $93,347. At that time . an overall deficit of ‘$7,441,782 was - anticipated. This actually has been reduced by nearly $1 million to $6,013,308, the province at the same time. being-the richer in capital assets to the value of over $12 million. _ Expenditures for the néw~vear, beginning April 1, include’ provision for expanded activities in education, industry and other departments to Speech from the Throne. On current account the estimates are greater than those estimated for the present year‘ by some $4,742,148. But even with this increase, and with no new _ taxes, the 1966-67 figures provide for ——-eurrent-surplus of “$68,574 Capital ~ expenditures for the coming year are estimated at $10,677,557. “ It is noted that the new Provincial Office Building is to:be sold'to the Prince Edward Island Crown Build- ing Corporation, and the Corporation will be paid a rental sufficient to —meet -neeessary- operating-expenses. The sale will produce a capital rev- enue for the year ending March 31, 1967 equal in amount to the expend- itures made by the Consolidated Fund fn the two years of construction.. Mr. ~Fariner explained that though~ this— transaction produced a decrease in liability for the year, he was not sug- gesting that the sale reduces the over- "all liabilities of the province and. its crown agencies. He referred members to a balance sheet in the Public Ac- counts in this connection. It is expected that under the 1962 fiscal arrangements with Ottawa the- province will receive $9,703,000 plus statutory subsidies, and the annual payment of $3,500,000 under the Atlantic Adjustment Grants® eAt least $7,980;:000 in taxes, it is’ estimated, will be collected from provincial sources, in addition to $2,625,000 col- lected for the province by Ottawa underethe Income Tax .Act. Also there will be further legislation this session to raise funds by way of de- o benture issues. The minister emphasized, in con-— _¢lusion, that the, Government would continue to press Ottawa for a more satisfactory formula that would recognize the province's fiscal need’ problem and its tax-raising ability. Progress has, however, been made.in this direction, and. he dwelt chiefly on its gratifying results: On this aspect of the situation, at least, we may .expect that his Lib- eral’ opponents will be in agreement with him. An Apt Retort: We heed in Parliament more of the urbanity whieh Mr. Macquarrie show- ed in explaining why the “blush” of ~ embarrassment a Toronto newspaper writer claimed to have detected on his countenance when he voted-in sup- -| port “of an NDP motion the other day | was really due to his having, been “blessed with a ruddy, cherubic coun: tenance, lo, these 46 vears,” and that? in any case, while life has had its \Nembarrassinents, “the act of demon " strating lack of confidence in the pres ent government was certainly not one of them.” Mr. Speaker, ‘at first didn’t think’ the honorable -| blust,”’ ‘Queens MP's reply ‘ @ member had a question of privilege, but the laughter which greeted our from all-sides showed that he had scored a hit. It was, indeed, in the grand traditian of parliamentary, retort, ‘worthy of the ‘late, great Sir Winston Churchill, or of Sir John A. Macdonald himself in his heyday. : & Mr. Macquarrie voted for the NDP proposal because, primarily, he felt that there was some merit in it. His party colleagues*evidently felt other- wise; but that was a matter of opinion. The Conservative motion, for. which he also voted, had scored high living costs as having a serious effect on the, national economy, and particular- ly onvall low-income groups, and had challenged the Government to do something about the matter. What failed to get much emphasis’ in this discussion, it seems, were the regional problems involved in. keep- ing the inflation spiral responsible for these costs within bounds. The Tor- onto Star—off base as it was in its snide comment on Mr. Macquarrie's countenance—strikes the right note here by insisting on the Government's prime responsibility to produce more: - selective controls, more refined economic instruments than tight money which discriminates against poorer people in the slow- “growth pro- vinces. i “Any polley which ‘brakes the economy in Ontario wher¢ unemploy- ment is at a low of 3.3 per cent and, at the same time dampens still more the sluggish economy of the Atlantic provinces where unemployment is 10.5 per cent,” says the Toronto paper, “is unfair and unjust ... . The job for Mr..Sharp and Mr. Rasminsky is-first. to isolate the economic areas where a threat of serious inflation exists and to devise selective controls_ to deal with them. Canada’s continued prosperity will depend on their skill and judgment in detising measures to tackle inflationary problems where they exist without pushing the entire - economy over the edge in.the pro- cess.”” That will take some doing, but it is an objective which surely merits the support of all our Atlantic representa-_ tives, regardless of party affiliation. Long Overdue Few of our citizens will object to by Northern Affairs Minister Arthur Laing of a five-year $112 million program to improve Indian reserves. Besides new houses, the recipients will benefit through spending. on -waterand sewage disposal systems, electrification and better roads. Indians working and living. off the reservations will be able to take ad- vantage of normal lending facilities - in the purchase of homes. try's native population has been ne- glected afd its living standards treat-: ed with indifference by government and public alike. Neither Peace Corps .nor ‘Company of Young Can- adians is required in this war on poverty; the Indian affairs branch of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration has all the first-hand knowledge necessary to undertake this program of rehabilitation and modernization. An-important additional point was made. recently by Ethel Brant Mon- ture, Indian consultant to the Can- adian Council of Christians and Jews, | when she urged that ,the program be not top-heavy with (white) authority. She hoped that Indian leaders would” be allowed.to share in the making of decisions, otherwise ‘the program would mean nothing.” This under- lines a basic need for boosting the. morale of the people, and giving them a sense of pride and achievement as my | = as some of yor may have “Canada’s-220,000-Indians-receiving-a new deal from Ottawa; &nd this is - what is involved in the annduncement _ “—<“For-altogether-too tong the couns~}— ; al and his Mounties some cha- -of our own.
