George Drew
Since Parliament dissolved a few weeks ago, Progressive Conservative Leader
George Drew has visited all ten provinces. He and the Party he leads, as a result of
this tour, are convinced of one thing:
It's Time for a Change!
The important thing is for all Canadians to decide between now and June 27th
is what that change will be.
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. This is no
hastily -drafted election manifesto, nor is it the opinion of one man. It expresses the
unanimous opinion of delegates from every province who met in Ottawa from Septem-
ber 30th to October 2nd last year.
The importance of many of our statements of policy has been greatly emphasized by the conduct of the
government during the recent session, but the policies themselves remain unchanged. 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
PP ; TITT
The Progressive Conservative
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-
servative government with faith in
the future will bring into product' on
the immense resources which we
possess in every part of Canada
There is no part of Canada w -•''re
there are not new opportunitie. of
development if we provide the
electric energy and other sour.es 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,
co& 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 inthe 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.
(d) 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,
flood control, irrigation and drain-
age schemes throughout Canada, for
the reclamation of unproductive
land and the preservation ,of our
soil.
(h) Establish a positive program
of marshland reclamation and devel-
opment.
(i) Take effective steps as soon
as possible to co-operate with the
proinces in building the Trans-
Canada highway and feeder roads,
to not only greatly increase our
transportation facilities, but also to
develop Canada's tourist business.
Sj) Remove the discrimination in
freight rates between different areas.
�v
(x) Deal elTectivety with the
special transportation problem of
Prince Edward Island, Newfound-
land, Cape Breton and Vancouver
Island.
(1) 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 practice'
means to expand our external trade
:vith the U.S., and all other nations.
specifically we will:
`a) Promote and expand overseas
trade fhro1igh 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
iweep.ing reforms in our taxation
system and reduction of taxes are
necessary to encourage initiative and
reward hard work,
The Progressive Conservative
Party will:
(a) Increase exemptions to at
least $2,500 for married people and
$1,250 for single persons.
(b) Increase the exemption for
dependent children by $200.
(c) . Lower the genera' rate of
personal income tax.
(d) Allow deductions to farmers
for WQT1S done en the farm by mem-
bers of the family,
(e) End the persecution of our
people by tax -collectors acting
under arbitrary powers.
(f) Encourage development of
small business operated by the
owner, by allowing, proper exemp-
tion for money re -invested in the
business and not paid out in profits.
(g) provide for a graduated reduc-
tion in taxes on other small busi-
nesses upon the portion of the
income left in the business for
further development.
(h) Abolish nuisance taxes and
make substantial reductions in
general sales and excise taxes on
necessities,
SECURITY
Security of Employment
The Progressive Conservative
Party assures security to all Cana-
dians by the following Declaration
of Policy.
in co-operation with the various
provincial- governments we will
explore every possibility of expand—
ing the opportunities for work by
encouraging new types of produc-
tion. 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
1'liis plan will provide the follow -
Ing benefits:
(1) Old -age pensions at 65 without
n means test.
(2) Unemployment letsurance
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 in
co-operation with the provinces
An Effective Program
for the
Construction of Houses
L. Loans and priorities will be
made available to those who desire
to build their own homes.
2. Low-cost housing will be pro-
vided under dans jointly -approved
by the Dominion, Provincial and
Municipal governments. These
plans will be administered by the
municipalities.
3. New types of construction 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
of 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..
IT'S .TIME FOR A CHA
The producers- themselves will
decide the methmtd by which their
wheat will be handled and sold.
Marketing boards and representa-
tives of the prode cer organizations
should and will determine their own
method of raarleetielg.
3. We will esta.dlish a board of
livestock commissioners.
1. We will extend. the activities
o the Federal Baran -Loan Board, so
rat Farmers can take advantage of

fo. agr'cultural research, to find new
uses for a,riculeteepl products.

vincial Departments of Agriculture,
conduct thorougiR, studies of con-
tagious animal iced plant diseases
to reduce the heavy annual loss
from these causes.
6. In determining agriculture'
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 argrictlture
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 m rst.=be protected by
- •
legislation p'.': -g for effective
collective bargee. ng, thi' deter-
mination of mutual rights, as well
as conciliat.on and settlement of
:1'iffrculties which may 'arise
