Hon. H. A. BRUCE (Parkdale):

In view of our joint defence commitments with the United States I should like to ask the Prime Minister whether units of the sixth division would be available to be sent to the assistance of the United States in the event of an attack on the coast of that country.

Right Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING (Prime Minister):

I think the appropriate persons to make reply to a question of this kind would be the military authorities, who no doubt have given every consideration to the matter. They may regard it as advisable not to make any public statement at the moment, but certainly this matter is one that should be referred to them in the first instance.

Mr. McLARTY:

Then may I say, without having had any further information within the last few days, that it is my understanding that not only the national war labour board but also the regional boards have been completely set up throughout the country. However, I shall make inquiries into the matter and advise the hon. member to-morrow.

TAXATION

AGREEMENTS WITH PROVINCES RESPECTING INCOME AND CORPORATION TAXES

On the orders of the day:
LIB

James Lorimer Ilsley (Minister of Finance and Receiver General)

Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Hon. J. L. ILSLEY (Minister of Finance):

The leader of the opposition (Mr. Hanson) asked me to table copies of the draft agreements between the dominion and the various provincial governments. I am tabling those copies to-day, but in doing so I should like to make the following statement:

A list of the particular taxes which the provinces and their municipalities are to give up will be attached to the agreements as appendix A. Similar lists of the taxes which the provinces and the municipalities will continue to levy will be attached as appendices B and C. Except in the case of British Columbia, these lists have not yet been completed and are not, therefore, attached to the draft agreements which I propose to table.

The proposed agreements are now being gone over and checked by the provincial authorities. Before they are finally signed there may be some minor changes, either in the wording or in the amounts. I have no reason to expect that this will be so, but it is conceivable that some new situation which we do not know of at the present time may make some changes desirable. For example, some province may dispute the accuracy of the figures or some other question of fact.

I do not expect so, but if there should be some minor errors in the figures, we would wish

to correct them. Certainly any changes which may be made will be relatively unimportant, but until the draft agreements have been checked by the provinces I cannot say definitely that they are in their final form.

In all cases, yes. I believe all appendices are attached in 'respect of British Columbia.
