T. Pryde Reports
From The Le
a Series)
During the past few weeks the
various functions of the Ontario
Legislature have been explained
and a few lines will be devoted
this Week to explaining some of
the differences between the federal
government in Ottawa and the
Ontario Legislature in Toronto.
Members of the 1 -louse of Com -
Mons at Ottawa and members of
the Ontario Legislature act and
do 'their work in two entirely
separate, fields. This is quite dif-
ferent to the system in 'Britain,
where there is only one govern-
ment and all departments are un-
der the one authority.
Under the British North Amer-
ica Act all subject matters of leg-
islation are apportioned between
the Dominion Parliament and the
Provincial Legislatures, and the
Legislative Assembly of Ontario
acts 'in a legislative •field which
gives it sovereign power with ab-
solute authority over its territory
and the people and the property
within it.
The provinces are allocated 16
subjects; amendments of the con-
stitution of the province; direct
taxation within the province; bor-
rowing of money on the sole credit
of the province; establishment and
tenure of provincial offices; ap-
pointment and payment of provin-
cial offices; management and sale
of public lands belonging to the
province; establishment, mainten-
ance and management of hospitals
of al/ types; charitable and muni-
cipal institutions; shop, -"saloon,
tavern, auctioneer and other lic-
ences; local works" and undertak-
ings; incorporation of companies
with provincial objects; solemniza-
tion of marriage; property and
civil rights; aministration of
justice; imposition of punishment
by fine, penalty or imprisonment
for enforcement of the law in the
province.
At the time of Confederation in
Canada, it was realized that many
of the matters affecting the rights
of individuals as well as property
rights would be quite different
from province to province owing
to the varying conditions in such'
a vast territory, and the different
views held affecting these rights.
For this reason, matters relating
to the national economy as a
whole, such as national welfare,
national defence, steamboat ship-
ping, etc., collection of customs
and excise taxes and indirect taxa-
tion in general, were recognized
as the prerogatives of the Domin-
ion government. The building of
highways, jurisdiction over educa-
tion, and any matters relating to -
the municipalities were recognized
as coming within the scope of the
province. In several departments,
such as health, agriculture, min-
ing, and natural resources, both
governments exercise jurisdiction,
and at times there is a tendency
towards overlapping of services.
As time goes on there appears
to be a growing tendency for the
Federal government to extend and
enlarge its fields of taxation and
to absorb some of the activities
of the provincial government. For
gisiature
instance, under the National Old
Age Pension. Act, the federal gov-
ernment pays 100 per cent of the
$40 per month pension. to all peo-
ple over the'age of 7Q years. To
pay for this, a special tax is levied,
being paid at the same time as
the personal income tax.

Old Age Assistance, payable at
65, depends upontotal income and
one is not eligible if income (in-
cluding the allowance) exceeds
$(20- per year for single persons
and $1,200 per year for married
couples, This is administered by
the Provincial Government, and
the coat shared equally by 'the
Federal and -Provincial' Govern-
ments.
In 1952 the Dominion and Pro-
vincial government entered into an
agreement whereby the province
receives lump sum grants from
the Federal government.
In agriculture, the Federal gov-
ernment concerns itself with the
national aspect of agriculture, in-
cluding- the export and import or
farm produets, research (gnat
science. The province gees into,
more detail with the promoting'
marketing and regulating in thee
sale and manufacture of farriV
products. The agricultural col-
leges, as is well known, are oper-
ated by the province. Also, agri--
cnitural representatives and ait
-their activities come under pro-
vincial jurisdiction,
At times• there is a misunder-
standing among citizens, not only.
of the difference in activities ot
the federal and provincial mem-
ber, but also 'in the salaries receiv-
el. Since the new act was passed'
hi Ottawa a fevv years ago, a fed-
eral member's salary is 510,000 a
year, 58,000 being taxable as in-
come and the other $2,000 tax'
free for expenses: In Ontario, tete' •
salary of a provincial member, as,
a result of the act passed in
is $2,600 taxable, and 51,300 tax:
free. The House of Commons, of'
course, is in session for at least
six months each year, whereas the'
pi•ovincial legislature usually sits
for two months each spring. ,
