Filing & Maintenance In Ottawa ‘ No matter what make of saw or chain April 10, 1954. CONTROVERSY Some interesting information has heen received about the Dominion- Provincial Constitutional Conference, shelved since 1950. This news takes on a fresh interest and perspective in the light of the controversy now rag- ing between Ottawa and Quebec over that province's right to impose an |ineome tax and have it deducted trom the Dominion tax, True, that is a fin- ancial matter, but the financial an@ constitutional relationships of the Dominion and the Provinces are now seen to have a very direct bearing one On the other. NCE = ieee You will recall that the Dominion- Provincial Constitutional Conference | was called to work out a method of amending our constitution here in | Canada. It was also to discuss the di- ons of constitutional rights and |responsibilities as between the Do- minion and the Provinces. It met in Ottawa in January and in Quebec ia September , ereated a blaze of publicity by the glowing statements of all participants about the great progress made, appointed ‘a ‘*Con- Unuing Committee” to prepare the u ground for further meetings — and then quietly expired, PROGRESS It was difficult to understand why this should be, since everyone, from the Prime Minister on down, had really gone overboard about this con- ference, It was going to “repatriate the constitution be the last great step in the process carried for- ward by that great statesman, Mr. St. Laurent, to free Canada from the bonds of a slavish Colonialism — so ran the line put out about it by the Government's publicity agents. And, according to this line, it was within an acre of succeeding when it ad- journed and instructed its Continuing Committee to prepare for the final steps. CORRESPONDENCE This week we learned that in 1951 two of the provinces — Alberta and Saskatchewan — had made inquiries as to when the conference might re- }sume. Copies of the correspondence ; Were tabled in the House in return to an Order adopted on my motion. They show that Premier Manning had expressed the “sincere hope that the Dominion Government would reconvene the conference with a minimum of delay. It is clear that the responsibility for recalling it lies at , Ottawa, since the Federal Ju Minister had been appointed Ch man of the Continuing Committee. DEPEAT That was back in 1951, yet in 1954 although the Dominion-Provincial t; rental agreements have heen renew ed with those provinces which first entered into them, the Constitutional Conference has not heen reconvened and the Federal Minister of Justice shows remarkably few signs of burning zeal to have it recalled, It| seems that the only conclusion to be drawn is that their m over the Duplessis-St. Laurent tax duel outwe the optimisth which Mr. Garson expressed earlier in his letter to Mr. Manning when he said, “We, pessimi: you use, these authoritative, well illus- concur with you that no time should trated manuols will help you keep your be lost in finding a satisfactory meth- cholt ol its Babi Seporalememel se pee chipper, chisel ond scratcher type od of amending our own constitution chains.
