Pearson's Nov. 2 letter to lhe
provinces—a follow-up on the
premiers' own ideas about the
agenda — was tabled in the
Commons by Justice Minister
Chevrier, acting prime minister
while Mr. Pearson was In Ncw
York.
..USAGE WINS SUPPORT
Precedence given the shares-
cost programs indicates that
Quebec Premier Lesage has
won the support ot several
other premiers in the part o( '
his ultimatum that would require Ottawa to clear out of
those fields of provincial jurisdiction, but still supply the
money  without strings  attach
ed. '
Last Monday, Privy Council
President Maurice Lamontagne
said in part of his speech to
the Canadian Club in Toronto:
"The federal government
should be prepared to withdraw
from existing and well-established joint programs in areas
which have been assigned to the
provinces and to compensate
financially those provincial
governments which are willing
to assume these additional responsibilities,"
NDtrLeadcr T. C. Douglas,
former Saskatchewan premier,
asked in thc Commons Thursday whether Mr. Lamontagne,
who carries the portfolio of
federal - provincial   relations,
was speaking for the government.
Mr. Chevrier replied that he
thought Mr. Lamontagne made
an excellent speech and he
could best explain what he
meant. But Mr. Chevrier added:
"What he did say would certainly have my approval."
Mr. Pearson's letter said the
agenda will be subject to "formal approval" when the conference opens, but indicated that
it already was settled.
MENTIONED IN HALIFAX
The unemployment issue was
sought for discussion when the
premiers met in Halifax last
August.
After the shared-cost programs, the. agenda reads this
way:
3. "Fiscal relations" — a
phrase covering the way in
whieh Ottawa shares the tax
pot with the provinces. Mr.
Lesage has demanded a 25-percent share of the field of income and death taxes, compared with the 17-per-cent slice
the provinces get this year.
4. "Special topics" including
national agricultural marketing
boards, administration of Indian and Eskimo aflairs, provincial lotteries, the Canada
Pension Plan and medical sur-
5. "Continuing federal-provincial   liaison   arrangements,"
This obviously refers to plans
for a permanent secretariat.
The proposal was made when
the provinces came to Ottawa
in September for the conference on the federal government's municiupal loan fund
and the pension plan.
6. "Other matters." Neither
in Mr. Pearson's letter, nor in
the attached proposals for an
agenda, is there any indication
of what stand thc federal government will take at the conference.
WANTS CLOSED MEETING
However, bis letter propose.:
a closed conference from the
start.
Previous  conferences    have
begun with a one-day session
open to the press, where the
premiers make   their opening
statements.
This time, Mr. Pearson has
proposed that the delegations
exchange their opening statements on the Sunday night
preceding the conference opening. The statements would be
released to the press on Mon-
Mr. Pearson also proposed
that no statements be given to
the press "regarding subjects
under discussion" until thc conference is over-except by unanimous agreement in the conference.
