GATION OI-‘ ‘J‘lII:‘, G()Vl-3l’1’ to vary
the levels of allowances paid under certain federally
administered programs. A province could seek to
reduce the federal allowances payable under one progrmm
and apply the savings to increase the allowances paid
under another federal or 1@deral1y—Iinanced income $upport
program. ‘I‘h.i,s would represent. a major innovation
)n the field of federa1~provincial relations. It
will be obvious to all of you that‘ the ‘J1\\p].enI(~rx1.L-Itum
of this proposal w1.ll call [or ingenuit:y and forbearancq-3,
and will require the development of mutually satisfactory
arrangements. It will not of course be possible to
give effect to Proposition 12 until the many complex
issues to be covered in the review have been studied and
resolved. If these issues can be settled, and I am very
hopeful that they can, we wxll have solved a recurring

NOTES FOR REMARKS BY THE PRIME MINISTER
ON FINANCING POST~SECOhDARY EDUCATION
1 would now liko to introduce the noxt topic
on our agenda. Financing of posl—5econdary oducatlon
is a subject whxch has lmportnnt impllcatlons lor
“ll of us around this table. IL 15 ulna n subje’t
which has impmrLant lmplicntxons lor the tuturu 01
this P0untry.. This 13 ospncaally true today, as we
approach fhn oxplry of the (13031 support measures
conceived seven years ago.
I take if that all First Ministers have reviewed
Ln detail with their own Ministers of Finance and
Minlstexn of Education the proposal whxch my colleague,
the Svcrotary of Statn, forwarded to all provincial
Ministers of Education some three weeks ago. As
.t much lntervst
wc all know, thls proposal difl not elic
when 11 was disrussed nl Lhn fodRral—provinc1al
conference held in Otinwa oarllor Lhls month by the
Ministers of Fxnance, Health and Education.
T regret this turn of events and I remain
oonvnnced that the proposal submitted to you on
behalf of the federal government by Mr. Faulkner
represents a responsible and realistic answer to the
neods of the sector, as W011 as to the Criticisms
which have been levelled against tho present
arrangements. 1 had hoped that provinces would see
in A favourable light thoso features of the proposal
what would leave each provincial qovvrnmcnt with
increased resources in the years ahead to respond,
according to its own judgement, to the challenges
that may bo in store in the complex world of higher
nducation.
Let me recall Lhe Circumstances in which my
prvdrcvssor, Luster Pearson, uskwd Lho Parliament 01
Canada to nuLhor1zv thv prosvnL 5 ztvm oi fiscal transfers
in supporL of post condary oducntlon: a dramatic
‘ondary school
r150 in Canada’s populatlon of postm
age; university enrolments growing (aster Lhan ever
before; and the g9nera11y accepted belief that the
number of Canadlans seeking higher education would
double in less than a decado.
It is against this background that the government
of my prodvcossor fashionod a program dosxqned to
qroarly assist Lhv provincos to fjnnnch tho rapidly
rising demands tor post—seC0ndary hducation. This
was the commitmont oi the icdvral qovOrnmonL sovon
years ago and I feel cortaln there is general agreement
that the program introduced than accomplished its
[.>LU”p0S(.‘ .
we are prepared to remain committed to continue
support to the provincos {or nost—socondary education
and the proposal made at thv Finance and Education
M1nistors’ Conlvrenco, we {no}, is mnru that adequate
in this regard. As was Lndicdtnd, however, at that
meeting we are prepared to conL1nu0 the present
nrrnngcments for a few morv years 1f that is what most
provinces wish.

CONFIDENTIAL
NOTES FOR REMARKS BY THE PRIME MINISTER
ON REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
This item has been included on the agenda to provide
an opportunity for discussion of a variety of matters which
are, directly or indirectly, associated with regional economic
development.
One of the basic goals of federal and provincial
governments over the last several years has been to ensure
that all regions of Canada participate as fully as possible
in the economic and social development of the nation. 1 think
also, that all of us would agree that this goal can only be
achieved by full co~operation between our governments. There-
fore, I welcome this opportunity to discuss the various
regional development policy issues that are of concern to
all of us.
As you know, the establishment of the Department of
Regional Economic Expansion in 1969 stemmed from a determination
on the part of the federal government to attack the problems
of regional economic and related social disparities in an
integrated way. Since then I believe real progress has been
made. For example, the recently renewed vigour of its economies
of the Atlantic provinces and Quebec give evidence that the ‘
special efforts of the federal and provincial governments are
beginning to have a positive effect. Regional economic
disparities, however, have persisted over a long span of years
and it is not reasonable to expect that they will be eliminated
quickly.
All provinces are aware that we have been reviewing
our regional development policies over the past year and that
Mr. Jamieson is now carrying forward discussions with provincial
governments on the approaches to be taken for the future.
I feel certain it is the hope of all of us that these discussions
will result in more effective regional policies which will be
beneficial not only to the lower income regions but to the
economy as a whole.
Our review of the economic circumstances across
Canada suggests that development of economic opportunities
in every region can add to the total wealth of the nation,
encouraging closer interregional ties and mutual support.
we are therefore suggesting to gll_provinces that we work
co—operatively to identify those areas in which growth lags
behind economic and social potential and take concerted action
to develop that potential. It is our hope that through such
actions, regional development policies and programs will
contribute to the attainment of high levels of employment all
across the country.
CONFIDENTIAL
1 am Coniident that working together will make
it possible for both orders of government to contribute
with maximum effectiveness to the development oi opportunities
in the various regions of Canada. The process cannot be
expected to be an easy one and there will be occasions on
which Lhere will be disagreement on priorities or methods.
IL is our hope, however, that by dlscu sion and co~operation
we will find that in m it situations a concerted approach
will load to the greatesL poasible benefit for the citizens
we seek to serve.
zit Lhis point you t n call upon Mr. Jamieson to
give a report on his consultaL.ons with the provinces and to_
expand on Lhe points mentioned in your introductory remarks;/
