12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, July 19, 1965 AT FEDERAL-PROVINCIAL CONFERENCE Canadian Premiers Convene In Ottawa discouragement of U.S, cap- ital investment in Canada, Premier Manning of Al- berta: While supporting comprehensive national medi- care program in principle, he is opposed to any move to make all residents join. In this he was supported by Pre- mier Roblin and Premier Bennett, Premier Bennett of British Columbia: Endorsing provin- cial offshore mineral rights and non-compulsory medi- care, he also said he dislikes the term "war on poverty" for the federal government's development plans but sees the need for a great drive forward in expansion and de- velopment to raise the living standards of the lower 25 per- cent of the population, By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)--The federal- provincial conference of pre- miers on a wide range of wel- fare and economic problems opens today after a prelim- inary round of talks by federal and provincial tax authorities Prime Minister Pearson was scheduled to open the main con- ference at 2:30 p.m. EDT. But Finance Minister Gordon and provincial treasurers were meeting first at 11 a.m. to draft a progress report on their tax- structure committee, The committee was set up at the federal-provincial confer- ence held here last October to examine the incidence of fed- eral and provincial taxes on the Canadian economy. Their work--still fgr from completed, it is understood-- will form the basis for negoti-/ARE BIG ITEMS ating new federal-provincial) The big items on the confer- tax agreements to replace thejence agenda from the federal present ones, which expire/government's point of view are March 31, 1967, the Canada Assistance Plan and SEEN AS SKIRMISH the war on poverty, While the main conference of}, The Canada Assistance Plan premiers will discuss such ques-|'s to bring under one legislative tions as medical care, incen-|tent all the welfare programs tives to industry, and ottshore| the federal government now mineral rights, one premier made it plain Sunday night that in his view this meeting will be only-a preliminary skirmish. "The real fight will come next autumn when we start to talk @bout money," he said in a pri- vate briefing of reporters. Nine of the 10 premiers ar- rived by train- and plane Sun- day, The 10th--Premier Ro- barts of Ontarlo--was sched- uled to fly in from Toronto ebout 10 a.m. today. In interviews on arrival, the one theme that ran through all the premiers' comments was conciliation, All were prepared, they said, to work out solutions to common problems. But each of them had a bone of some kind to pick with Ot- has under way, alone or in con- junction with the provinces, and to add some new ones, Provincial premiers generally supported the plan in principle! but those representing the/ smaller provinces had reserva- tions about expanding pro) grams in which they would be! expected to put up part of the! money. As to the war on poverty-- except for Mr. Bennett's com- ments--most premiers adopted Premier Shaw's approa ch| couched in the stock phrase, 'wait and see."' They said they| hadn't been informed of what! the war on poverty would en-| tail. | Medicare would come before} the conference early in its ses-| mines can secure tax relief for three years on equipment for new ventures, but Mr, Thatcher so far has been unable to get this relief extended by Ottawa to Saskatchewan's deep potash deposits, which are brought to the surface in solution, A Saskatchewan minister said Ottawa's reluctance to extend the exemption to potash mining has become an issue cutting through all political parties and is being interpreted as eastern unwillingness to let the wheat provinces rise above farming. As the premiers gathered there were signs of regional and political groupings among them, __ Conservative Premier Roblin called a meeting of his Prairie colleagues, Liberal Premier Thatcher and Social Credit Pre- mier Manning. They would dis- cuss the Prairie approach to the conference, an informant said Social Credit premiers Man- ning and Bennett took parallel views against the compulsory feature of any medicare plan Atlantic premiers Shaw and Stanfield--Conservatives -- and Smallwood and Robichaud-- Liberals--called for increased offshore mineral rights There were also divisions be- tween the premiers of the richer and the poorer prov- inces, Ontario emphasized in a brief presented recently to the legis- lature in Toronto that the prov- ince has always supported shared-cost projects, in prin- ciple and financially, And Pre- mier Bennett spoke on his ar- rival of B.C.'s contribution in taxes as a goblet which Ottawa seemed to think had to be drained, : But Premier Shaw of P.E.L, a Conservative, and Premier Thatcher of Saskatchewan, a Liberal who once sat in Par- liament as a socialist, took the small © conservative view that their provinces would be hard- federal aif to universities and|pressed to ante ap provinciall a hands-off policy on provincial) funds for any expensive new welfare projects initiated by Ottawa. Both in the airport and hotel lobby interviews on arrival Sun- day night, and in the positions they had taken publicly in ad- vance of the conference, the premiers made plain the posi- tions from which they would bargain during the next four or five days, The conference, after the opening statements, is expected to be closed to the press and public as is usual at such con- ferences, Some complaint has been made, however, that de- cisions taken in federal-provin- cial meetings affect the public purse and public affairs just as vitally as do decisions taken in Parliament and the legisla- tures.
