He and the Party he leads, as a restilt of this tour, eire 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 Progres^ve Conservative Party takes this oppor- tunity to present some of the major itenM 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- GMfga Draw bcr 30th to Octobcr 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 pohcies themselves remain unchanged. Ttiey were prepared in the behef 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 imdertaking we give to Canadians can be broken down under three headings: Opportunity. Security and Freedom OPPORTUNITY 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 production the immense resources which we possess in every part of Canada. There is no part of Canada where there are not new opportunities of development if we provide the electric energy and dther 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. WewiU: (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 protect on the Saskat- chewan River. (d) Encourage the development of power in the Maritime Provinces from coal as well as other means, (e) Proujote the development of the great iron ore resources of Canada and the estublishnient of greatly expanded steel industry. (f) Stimulate the development of petroleum and other mineral re- sources in co-opetation with the provinces, by taxation and fiscal poUcies 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 aa possible to co-operate with the provinces in building the Trans- Canada highway and feeder roads, to not oiuy greatly increase our transportation facilities, but also to davelop Canada's tourist business. (j) Remove the discrimination in fireight rate* between different areas. (,k) Deal effectively with the specicd transportation problem of Prince Edward Island, Newfoimd- land. Cape Breton and Vancouver Island. (I) Take the necessary steps to proceed with the development of the power and waterways^ project on the St. Lawrence River. ' Expansion of Tr,ade 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 Ucense. 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. The Progressive Conservative Party wiU: (a) Increase exemptions to at least $2,500 for married people and .$1,250 for single persons. ibi Increase the exemption lor dependent children by $200. tcl Lower the general rate of persona! ineoiiie tax. (dl .A.II0W deduction.^i 10 farmers for work done on the farm by mem- bers of the family. (e) End the persecution 01 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 Ijusiness and not paid out in profits. (.gl 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 Svcurity of Employment The Progressive Conservative Party assures security to all Cana- dians by the following Declaration of Policv. in co-operation with the various provincial governments we will explore every possibiUty 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 wliich 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 in co-operation with the province.-; An Effective Program for the Construction of Houses 1. 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 plans jointly-approved by the Dominion. Provincial and Municipal governments. These plans will be administered by the municipalities. '^. New types ot construction will be ;'ncouraged to reduce building costs. 4. Restrictions on building <\ip- plies will be removed. Security for Farmers The Progressive Conservative undertakes to: 1. Enact floor price legislation based on the following principles: (a' ."V definite formula in the Farm Prices Support .Vet for arriv- ing at floor prices, (bi The formula wul allow for variations in produc- tion and demand, ic'> Floor prices will be announced well in advance of the production pericxl. idl Floor prices will be arrived at in consulta- tion with representatives of the producers. 2. We favour the restoration of the Canadian Wheat Board .\ct of 1935 to serve as a marketing a,<:enc.v for wheat producers. Coarse grains as well as wheat will be handled on a voluntary basis bv the Wheat Board The producers themselves wiU 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 estjiblish ;! 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 u.ses 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 01 agriculture can be served under the guidance of those with practical knowledKe 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 al.so in the best interests of the country. The security and happiness of all our workers must be protected by legislation providing for effective oollectWe bargaining, the deler- ] mination of mutual rights, as well as conciliation and .-ieltleraent of difficulties wiiicli may :irise (a' We will establish a National Labour t'ouncil with equal repre- sentation from labour and maiiaj^e- mcnt. This council will examine causes of laboiu- disputes and pro- pose solutions. It will conduct research to im- prove labour relations. « lb) We will provide ibr greater labour representation on govern- ment boards, lomniissions and agencies. icl We will encourage profit- sharing plans, through adjustments in taxation. I id^ We will improve legislation : providing for compuLsory collecti\e bargaining; certification of labour ! oraanizations after a majority vote; I machinery for concihation of dis- j putes; fair and adequate wages; I standard hours of work, keeping in j mind the industry concerned; hoh- ' days with pay Security for Veterans ,a We wil'; establish a standin,; i committee of the House of Commons on Veterans .Affairs to regularly' review veterans problems; (bl to ; ret.ain and constantly improve all i veteran legislation: c to eliminate ' all unnecessary delays in dealings j with veterans and to simplify ]>n>- I cedure; id' to extend pension bene- fits to the members of the merchant ; navy: le to accept the medical i category recorded on enlistment; f^ to stabilize pensions of First World War veterans, providing for : upward revision where the disability 1 has increased: ig) to increase and } extend provision of war \ eter.ins' 1 allowances â€" with an increase in the j amount that a veteran may earn I above the allowance paid. FREEDOM The Progressive Conservativa Psirty pledges itself to terminat* bureaucratic action by government- order-in-council, ministerial pro- clamation and deoartmental regu- lation. a' .We will restore responsible government .answerable to the elec- ted representatives of the people. ibl We believe ia the widest; possible measure of personal free- dom consistent with law. order and the general welfare. (.CI 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 ever.\' citizen under the law. xe) We will c-onserve the author- ity of the provincial and municipal governments over local affairs. f On a.-<sumint; ollice we will convene a Dominion-Provincial con- ference. Ig) Wh iieiieve tliai luuionai unity depends upon resiiect for the federal con.stitution and the clear definition of the responsibilities of the Dominion. Provincial and Muni- cipal governments, with assurance of adequate tinancia. resources to carry out lliose responsibilities. h) We undertake to restore free- dom of speech over i he radio and to place the supervision of all Cana- dian broadcasting under .an inde- pendent administrative body, .i We will abolish the license fee on radio receiving sets. ij) We give our unqualified sup- port to the North Atlantic Securitv Pact. I believe this statement will provide convincing reasons why you should cast your ballot on .June 27th for the Progressive Con.servative candidate in your own constituency 3<) tiiat the public business of this great country will be handled by a strong, vigorous and progressive government in the years ahead.
