In 1880 the province received a grant for public lands but against this the provinte paid interest of $39,000 for land pur- chased from the absentee land- lords. In 1887 a special grant of for steamship service. “We still have these grants’, Dr. Dewar, observed. UPWARD TREND In 1997 a grant of $871,260 was given for government and legislation and in the same year the Island was given, $100,000 more from the federal treasury and inn 1912 another $100,000. Dr. Dewar said the Province then drifted along until 1927 when the Duncan Commission re- commended $275,000 which was later: increased to $656,000. The Island at the same time was charged an annual rent for the use of the Hillsboro Bridge to the amount of $9,750. He ~brought the history up to 1940 when the Rowell-Sirois re- port suggested the taking over | of certain tax fields by the fed- eral government in lieu of fis- cal payments and certain social security benefits. : MAKE A DEAL In 1945 Dr. Dewar said the federal government showed a de- sire to keep..gertain tax fields and in return give the provinces by |ayments”’. : *| reported the Island would Going back to the time of Con-| federation he said the Province; Eg Leo ecsiier 5 pe il li Hf 2 ii iri i sty els 3 q | E oS i i a z z -l ey 8 z i a E.I. imed the provinces went on a limb at- the 1952 con- erence and did not fare nearly so well. Dr. Dewar said the 1955 con- ference was less advantageous to the province’ “It was a take it or leave it proposition”, said Dr. Dewar. PICKERSGILL Quoting from Mr. Pickersgill who spoke on the conference~ at the time Dr. Dewar noted that the federal member said: “It is not the business of the federal government to raise revenue for the province but just to equalize Fe Mr. Diefenbaker said the grants would not give the pro- vinces enough. ' Walter Harris said as far as the federal government was con- cerned, “‘the bargain is over. We believe it is fair, in the light of federal responsibilities”. Commenting on the conference the Financial Post said; ‘‘Poli- tics instead of financial common sense had directed the course of negotiations throughout’’. LEAST OF ALL Dr. Dewar said the Guardian get $70,000 more than in 1952 and payments were expected to in- crease. “Instead of this we re- ceived an increase of only 1.6 per cent—the least of ali the provinces.” | “The agreement made with the province in 1955 was not very advantageous to the Island. Mr. Diefenbaker saw that the Payments were not enough and took steps to correct it by giving us an extra $2% million’, he said. The O'Leary member said the brightness of the Island eco- nomy evidenced by increased tourist trade, big building booms and increased bank balances were all a reflection on the part which the national government played in bringing relief to the province.
