With this thought in mind the Progressive Conservative Party takes this oppor­ tunity to present some of the major items of its Declaration of Policy.

They were prepared in the belief that they will serve the best interests of all the people of Canada. It is one statement of policy for the whole of Canada. The purpose of the undertaking we give to Canadians can be broken down under three headings: Opportunity, Security and Freedom. " (k) Deal effectively with the special transportation problem of Prince Edward Island, Newfound­ land, Cape Breton and Vancouver Island. (l) Take the necessary steps to proceed with the development of the power and waterways project on the St. Lawrence River. Expansion of Trade The Progressive Conservative Party will adopt every practical means to expand our external trade with the U.S., and all other nations. Specifically we will: (a) Promote and expand overseas trade through reciprocal trade agreements. (b) Remove all abnormal trade barriers imposed by way of license, quota or embargo. (c) Remove the arbitrary provi­ sions of the Foreign Exchange Control Act. * (d) Re-value the Canadian dollar within the limits permitted by the Bretton Woods agreement to assist our external trade. (e) Open negotiations to make the dollar and the pound convertible, to regain our markets in the sterling area Reduction of Taxes * Sweeping reforms in our taxation system and reduction of taxes are necessary to encourage initiative and reward hard work.

(g^provide for a graduated reduc-jtiori in taxes on other small busi- s nesses upon the portion of the 5 income left in the business for ; further development.I (h) Abolish nuisance taxes and .make substantial reductions in general * sales and excise taxes • necessities SECURITY Security of Employment ‘ The Progressive Conservative Party assures security to all Cana- I dians by the following Declaration I of Policy. OPPORTUNITY The Progressive Conservative i Party will assure opportunity to all : our people by a bold and progres­ sive national development program. Canada stands on the threshold • of her greatest period of develop­ ment. A vigorous Progressive Con- 1 servative government with faith in the future will bring into production the immense resources which we possess in every ipart of Canada. There is no part of Canada where there are not new opportunities of , development if we provide the electric energy and other sources of power to encourage new industries and new types of agricultural pro­ duction. The Progressive Conservative national development program will cover development of power, oil, coal mineral resources and the transportation facilities for their full use. We will: (a) Establish a National Develop­ ment Advisory Council in co-opera­ tion with the provinces. (b) Establish a National Power Authority to co-operate with the provinces in the technical examina­ tion of possible power develop­ ments and in*the actual develop­ ment of electric power at cost. (c) Undertake the commencement of a joint conservation, irrigation and power project on the Saskat­ chewan River. (dl Encourage the development of power in the Maritime Provinces from coal as.well as other means. (e) Promote the development of the great iron ore resources of Canada and the establishment of greatly expanded steel industry. (f) Stimulate the development of petroleum and Other mineral re­ sources in co-operation with the provinces, by taxation and fiscal policies to encourage the investment of risk capital. ] (g) Institute a vigorous program —..... of water conservation, reforestation, I r22r>5'V. age schemes throughout Canada, for I the reclamation of unproductive! land ‘and the preservation of our, soil. . | ?h) Establish a positive program i of marshland reclamation and devel­ opment. i j) Take effective steps as soon j as possible to co-operate with the provinces in building the Trans­ Canada highway and feeder roads, to ndt only greatly increase our transportation facilities, but also to develop Canada’s tourist business.(j; Remove the discrimination in I freight rates between different areas. j JLn. co-operation with the various provincial governments we will explore every possibility of expand-. ing the opportunities for work by encouraging new types of produc­tion. We believe that the greatest security for employment in Canada is based upon the fullest develop­ ment of our resources which will create new employment’ and increase domestic markets. Contributory Social Security Program This plan will provide the follow­ ing benefits: (1) Old-age pensions at 65 without a means test. (2) Unemployment Insurance benefits to be extended to include payments for time lost due to acci­ dent or sickness. (3) Adequate medical and hospi­ tal * care to be provided under a national health program which will include the most extensive pre­ ventative health services. •(4) The same family allowance for every child, regardless of the number of children in the family. These and other provisions in our program will be worked out co-operation with the provinces. An Effective Program for the Construction of Houses Loans and priorities will in 1. on ---------- ---- x--------- — be made. available to those who desire to build their own homes. . 2. Low-cost housing will be pro­ vided under plans jointly-approved by the Dominion, Provincial and Municipal governments. These plans WiU be administered by the municipalities. 3. New types of constrbction will be encouraged to reduce building costs. 4. Restrictions on building sup­ plies will be removed. Security for Farmers The Progressive Conservative undertakes to: 1. Enact floor price legislation based on the following principles: (a) A . definite formula "in the Farm Prices Support»Act for arriv­ ing at floor prices.* (b) The formula will allow for variations in produc­ tion and demand, (c) Floor prices will be announced well in advance | bf the production period, (d) Floor prices will be arrived at in consulta­ tion with representatives of the producers; 2. We favour the restoration of the Canadian Wheat Board Act of 1935 to serve as a marketing agency for wheat producers. Coarse grains as well as wheat will be handled on a voluntary basis by the Wheat Board. The producers themselves will decide the method by which their wheat will be handled and sold. Marketing boards and representa­ tives of the producer organizations should and will determine their own method of marketing. 3. We will establish a board of livestock commissioners. 4. We will extend the activities of the Federal Farm Loan Board, so that farmers can take advantage of long-term, low-interest rates. 5. We will increase the facilities for agricultural research to find new uses for agricultural products. We will in cooperation with Pro­ vincial Departments of Agriculture, conduct thorough studies of con­ tagious animal and plant diseases to reduce the heavy annual loss from these causes. 6. In determining agricultural policy, we will enlist the coopera­ tion of farmers’ organizations throughout Canada. The best interests of agriculture can be served under the guidance of those with practical knowledge of each phase of agriculture Security for Labour Good working conditions for our people and friendly relations be­ tween workers and management, are not only in the best interests of the workers, but also in the best interests of the country. The security and happiness of all our workers must be protected by legislation providing for effective collective bargaining, the deter­ mination of* mutual rights, as well as-, conciliation and settlement of difficulties which may arise. (a) We will establish a National Labour Council 'with equal repre­ sentation from labour and manage­ ment. This council will examine causes Of labour disputes and pro­ pose solutions. It will conduct research to im­ prove labour relations. (b) We Will provide for greater labour representation on govern­ ment _ boards, commissions and agencies. (c) We will encourage profit- sharing plans, through adjustments in taxation. (d) We will improve legislation providing for compulsory collective bargaining; certification of labour organizations after a majority vote; machinery for conciliation of dis­ putes; fair and adequate wages; standard hours of work, keeping in mind the industry concerned; holi­ days with pay. Security for Veterdns (a) We will establish a standing committee of the House of Commons on Veterans Affairs to regularly review veterans problems; (b) to retain and * constantly improve all veteran legislation; (c) to eliminate all unnecessary delays in dealings with veterans and to simplify pro­ cedure; (d) to extend pension bene­ fits to the members of the merchant navy; (e) to accept the medical category recorded on enlistment; (f) to stabilize pensions of First World War veterans, providing for upward-revision where the disability has increased; (g) to increase and extend provision of war veterans’ allowances—with an increase in the amount that a veteran may earn above the allowance paid. FREEDOM The Progressive Conservative Party pledges itself to terminate bureaucratic action by government­ order-in-council, ministerial pro­ clamation and departmental regu­ lation. (a) We will restore responsible government answerable to the elec­ ted representatives of the people. (b) We believe in the widest possible measure of personal free­ dom consistent with law, order and the general welfare. (c) We are opposed to powers which give the government control over the rights of the individual. " (d) We will restore the full supremacy of the* law and the equality of every citizen under the law* (e) We will conserve the author­ ity of the provincial and municipal goVefntnents oVer Ideal affairs. (f) Oh assuming office we will convene a Dominion-Provincial con­ ference. (g) We believe that national unity depends upon respect for the federal constitution and* the dear definition of the responsibilities of the Dominion, Provincial and Muni­ cipal governments, with assurance of adequate financial resources to carry out those responsibilities. (h) We Undertake to restore free­ dom of speech over the radio and tn place' the supervision of all Cana­ dian broadcasting Under ah inde­ pendent administrative body. (i) We WiU abolish the license fee' on radio receiving sets. (j) We give our unqualified sup­ port to the North Atlantic Security Pact. I believe this statement will provide convincing reasons why you should cast your ballot on June 27th for the Progressive Conservative candidate in your own constituency so that the public business of this great country will be handled by a strong, vigorous and progressive government in the years ahead.
