'Sharp Works 4 Probiems 'As New Session Kicks Off | By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP) Finance Minister Sharp 1s juggling four inter-related problems in prep- aration for the new parliament- ary session opening Tuesday, Jan, 1 They are: --What to do about taxes and government spending in the fiscal year starting April 1. --How to revise federal-prov- incial fiscal relations next year to keep both levels of government healthy. --How far to go in adopting recommendations of the Por- ter royal. commission on banking and finance. On the key issue of tax and spending policy in the year ahead, Mr. Sharp has already said the federal government will lose some revenue through in- creased abatement of some tax fields to the provinces, while federal spending continues its normal annual growth. This means Mr. Sharp may not have as much room as would first appear in which to make significant tax cuts. MAY COME IN MARCH Mr. Sharp probably will in- Nigerian Election Rioting troduce his first budget in late March or early April, if nor- mal practice is followed. In his budget last. year, former fi- nance minister Walter Gordon projected revenues of $7,350,- 000,000. This would mean a defi- cit of $300,000,000 in the parlia- mentary accounts, but Mr. Gordon said the effect of that budget might be a modest sur- plus of $152,000,000 in the na- tional accounts, The minister now has révised those figures on the basis of the buoyancy. of government rev- enues, fed by the growth of the economy. He is basing his current thinking on an expected in- crease of five per cent in the gross national product during THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, Jenuary 12, 1966 3 OTTAWA (CP)--Acting Prime Minister Martin said Tuesday it's about time. the Canadian government had a long-distance jet plane for official use. Mr. Martin, the external af- fairs minister, told an inter- viewer he was just expressing a personal opinion after Prime Minister Pearson and Labor Minister Nicholson ran into dif- ficulties in reaching their des- tinations in the last few days. -Mr. Nicholson had to hitch a ride or a U.S, government air- craft to.arrive in New Delhi in Martin Would Like A ] For Ottawa Officials' Use Jet time for the funeral of Prime Minister Shastri. Mr, .Martin said that Mr. Nicholson would not have been able to get to New Delhi in time on commercial jet, The fastest government plane available to take the Pearson party to Lagos last week for the Commonwealth conference on Rhodesia was a propeller-driven Yukon. Mr. Martin said the flight to Nigeria would have taken 22 hours. A commercial jet air- craft was chartered instead to make the trip.
