Justice Minister Lapointe moved a resolution to amend the British North American Act to give provinces broader taxation powers. The plan does not seek Parliament's power to amend the constitution directly, as the process will be studied and then shared with provinces before UK submission. The move stems from the December Dominion Provincial conference and targets provincial indirect taxation.
