of the Dominion -Provincial
Conference on the. Sirois Report
(CONTINUED)
HON. T. B. McQUE$TEN, IC.C., ONTARIO MIN-
ISTER OF HIGHWAYS AND MUNICIPAL'
AFFAIRS, (Vol. 2, pages 83 to 47):
"Mr. Prime Minster and gentlemen,' before this
conferencediasolves, the province of Ontario would
like to place before it its financial positien.witit regard
to the effects of the Birois report on the provineeri
finances. .
Perhaps I •might properly preface what have to
say to -day by referring to two points touched upon by
. the $remier of Manitoba (Mr. Bracken) in the pre-
sentation of his argument before the opening sethircor
.• pf. the efirlferenc,e„yeaterday,„,..gon. 13
Hon.
*Tar 1 miiihreafl an earnest plea to tat delegates of
this conference, and particularly to the Premier of
• Ontario, to consider the 'attitude taken by. the late
Hon, George Brown at the various conferences leading
up to confederation. In bringing Mr. Brown's name
into the conference he has suggested that Mr. Brown
very properly forgot his own personal feelings in the
matter and, joined hands with 'Macdonald and others
.in shaptng confederation -os -expressed by-the:Brit%
\ -
North America Act,
,
consider it rather an unfortunate choice of argil-
ment to ask- that the Premier of Ontario emulate
Brown. -I hold that in taking' the attitude he has, Hon.
Mr. Hepburn hturbeen but living Up to the traditions
of Brown, and has defended and, upheld all that Brown
' stood for, wad is speeguarding the rights and responsi-
bilities vested in the eeperete provinces by confedera-
tion. I prefer to support and adopt the material-
-structure which was-- created-by-Brownv• -rather than
attempt to interpret its spirit. as Mr. litraeken has pur-
ported to do," If Mr. Bracken's argument were to.pre-
vail, hislory•weuld be degraded, our ideals shettered,
and the names of our public men cast into the ossuary
of thief. • . •
Mr. Bracken was on better ground -when he advanced
ths idea that pravintial-,autonemy, without _adequate
revenues for discharging the functions of goverimient
for which provinees are responsible, is but little more
than .14 fierce. To put- the 'same idea In another way,
without fiscal independence there can be no provincial
autonomy. ,
am-prepared.to-aay to review the financial history
.of the provinee of Onterio, particularly relating to .the
Yawl' *ince ilee Present leVerzenent has been in Charge
at Toronto.
, Ontario Balances Budget .
Briefly, let me state that we have followed since the
lst of 1986; a sound financial policy, as shown
by our budgetary position. In 1986417, 1987-38,'biid
1988-89, we had balanced budgets. This year we are
-Promised by our premier whbeile- also thaprevinetele
treasurer, a Aalaziced budget, a stirplus and a reduction
in. debt.
, This wholesome and enviable budgetary position has
plated us in a position to carry out -a -policy of assist-
ance to the 900 municipalities which form the local
government adielnistrations of Ontario. For example
the province ,has assumed the entire capital cost of
construction of our great highway sy,stem, the financial
butdeir of which formerly rested M. part 'upon the
munleilialitiess.The province also contributes in various
ways toward highway conetruction. expenditures by
municipalities.
"' •
In matters of public health, Ontarlb has made great
strides and belay Since this. government took charge, at
an tinnutd cost otreillions of dollars, assumed the entire
burden of the care of indigent tubercular patients.
Public health in Ontario costs the province of Ontario
a sum exceeding $900,000 pbr Month.
. ,
Then, in exchange for the income tax, which WAS
formerly, eolletted by a few of the 900 municipalities,
we ,have substituted a provincial incometax, and
' • have assumed the -entire cost of the, share formerly
borne by the municipalities of old age pepeions and
=ethers,' allowances.
•
The annual cost to the government of Ontario for old
ege pensions, au represented by the preeent fiscal Year,.
amounts to three and helf edollar:. This in
• tho province'e share of peneions for the blind.
' •
The annual cost to the province of mothers' allow -
truces thin year will exceed - the sum, of five and a quarter
Million dialers. All "of • these items—that is, old ago
pensions, pensions for elle, blind and mothers' allow-
ances—afe annually increasing in aniount.. X quite
agree' with the estimate made by prominent *actuaries
' that they will continue to increabe for the next fifty
year:. It is difficult at this Aim° to estimate the final
Unfit of the cost of thee three social !services, which, as
you are aware, wore never drearaed of by the Fathers.
Of •
We also'pay to 'the municipalities an annual subSidy
of one mill, based on thegeneral- assessment of the
" municipalities, and this amounts in round figures to
the faun of three million dollars per ealtallitt,
Another !Unction Of goVerrinient that It growing

Compares Belief Costs
One of the services that has eost enormous allele dur-
ing the past decade IS that of the cost of ,rellef. Under
.....thee.present basiseofeenntribelleneethe. dominion,pare
AO per cent. of direct relief costs, excluding riiedieale
services. Including medieal eervices the dominion •con-
tribution is Illi•per cent, Of the total expenditure: Foe
the present ileeal Year, that ise the period ending Meech
. 31 next, relief will cot Ontario the BUM' of ten anilion
dollars. Of this the dominion's share will be $3,800,-
000, the provincial ahare $4,800,000, and the mune,
cipalitiesw/share $1,900,000. e

While the Provioeo of Onterio would be called iitem. to

of Ontario. This inaccuracy *mount* to the large figure
of "11,758,000. The reconciliation of these amounts
is available- and can. -be explained by the technical .
officera of the trealury departanane.
With respect to the prement fiscal yeite,' the eittiatioa
Is infinitely worse. If the Elirois plan, were adopted
and made effective for the preeent "fiscal year, which
'ends on March 81, next, the province of Ontario would
bo faced with a. certain net lots in „revenues of the
sum of $17,000,000- This for the present fiscal year
alone. e

brought about by the giving up of the succession duty
taxes, would be- the lose in revenue to the University
of Toronto of the sum of $600,000. I would refer you
to the Revised Statutes of Ontario (19,37) chapter 372,
.section 129, which is the statutory authority for pay- •
anent from the 'proceeds of succession duties to the .
University of Toronto in the' sum of $500,000...per
annum.
, o •
Set 'Education Back 50 Years
But that is just one indication of what ;the loss in
revenues senuld mean to education in our province.
Education in. Ontario would be set 'back fifty years.
This would apPlY particularly to the ' "little. red school _
house" landtothe. struggling , separate schools, which
tinder present conditions require the same as public
• chola—annual-grants- from the provincial treasury.
The splendid work done by the•department of health
of 'Ontario in wagiug a successful fight to stanip out
the menace of. tuberculosis, which fight is being con-
ducted at an annual cost to theprovince of upwards of
$3,000,000, 4001 not be carried on, unless revenues
from some other source Were forthconfing.
This would involve Some MOW type. of taxation, but
inasmuch as taxes on estates, taxes on incomes: tam*
on corporations, and taxes on raining profits, would no
longer be available to the province' of Ontario, any
additional hatrdenof taxation required to raise revenue
to continue a reasonable standard of education would
inevitably fall upon real estate—upon the farmer,. the
home -owner and the business man.
/ also bring to your attention the fact that multi-
ipalities -of-the-previe ce_ef_GratIAJI will suffer for the
present fiscal year by the implementation of -the Sitoiti -
report, the loss in revenue exceeding $5,000/093.
Now, if you will add the net loss in revenue to be
sustained by: the .province of Ontario of $17,090,000 ,
to the $6,00.0,000 'certain loos to be sustained this
year by the "municipalities of Ontario, you have the
enormous sum of $22,000,000—net loss to the -province
and the municipalities.
This, Mr. Chairman, is only the beginning. These
hisses are bound to increase, because the functions of
government left witb, the province are, from their very
nature, increasing in their burdensome character, in
so far AS the need for revenue is ,concerned. •
Real Estate Burden Intolerable
No one conversant with the problems of public fin-
ance that beset the provinces and the municipalities in
Canada to -day willeattempteto-donyethateetheeharden
on real estate at present hag reached a point where it
is difficult for the farmer to meeVhis rates and; taxers;
it is discouraging for anyone to attempt to build a
home; and, in fact, daily in Ontario diseouraged home-
oWnsts,are atteilapting to salvage something from their
equities, and are parting with their homes,
iwhich rep-
resent n largo raeasu.re their only life savinee:
The real estate owner to -day, wbo. can basely raise
the amount of his taxes, Will find that for every dollar of
tae: he pays to -day in Ontario will be called upon
next year to pay e$1.20. And this under war condi-
Home where the cost of living is already mounting,
and is, generally' spealcing, tee per dent. higher than
it was at the outbreak of ehe war.
As the Prireiii Minister hae said, "You leave us wfth
the expensive function: of government." -
,
.And I held that the figures have submitted prove
that we will have lesufficient fueule to discharge these
functions of government, that health and education•in
1mi-fleeter will suffer, and the standard of living of
our citizens who aro in the class of what knight be
deser:bed ea. the lower economie scale will be akin
to a condition of aervile dependency.
Now Ur. Primo Mini'
ster have finished with my,
presentation of the financialeffeet of the report as it
appeara to thiq province, and I am authorized on behalf
ofthe premier Of the province of Ontario, the Ontario
delegation, and the people of the govinee, to announce
