Saskatchewan seeks tax deal over treasury bills
Ottawa talks center on $92,065,000 in provincial treasury bills held by Ottawa and relief debts from drought years. Saskatchewan demands clarity on which portion remains payable after an intergovernmental agreement to relinquish taxation fields. Premier T. C. Douglas asserts Ottawa may not collect relief obligations outside such an agreement. Fines says Saskatchewan would gain $53,000,000 under the broader plan but only $13,300,000 under current proposals, costing social security measures.
