They say the main issue is not language and education rights for the French-speaking minori- ties in English Canada but Que- bec's demand for increased powers. On the evidence so far, none of the other nine provinces or the federal authority appears willing to concede Quebec's de- mands. Officials said Wednesday this issue has been largely over- looked by the concentration at the Toronto provincial summit meeting and in the royal com- mission's report on minority language rights. Premier Danie] Johnson of Quebec dealt mainly at Toronto with the linguistic and cultural problem. But he also 'submitted a paper, which he did not read, which outlines Quebec demands which go far beyond the field of language and education rights. WANT MORE CONTROL PARLIAMENT AT-A-GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS WEDNESDAY, Dec. 6, 1967 A Conservative non-confi- dence motion accused the gov- ernment' of levying inflation- ary tax increases because of its own extravagance. The motion, at the start of a six-day budget debate, was followed by an NDP motion charging the government with favoring people in higher-in- come brackets. Prime Minister Pearson said he will consider making the February federal-provin- cial conference a full scale constitutional conference. New unemployment figures showed a national total of 289,000 in mid-November, up from 254,000 in October. THURSDAY, Dec. 7 The Commons meets at 2:30 p.m. to resume the budg- et debate.

Newfoundland went farther and said he will not countenance any constitutional change which would give Quebec powers the other provinces would not have. SOME AGREED There was a measure of agreement at the conference that something should be done about the rights of French-lan- guage minorities in English Canada. ° And there was general agree- ment that the provinces should have a voice in federal deci- sions on national policies which affected the economic lives of the provinces. But there was no agreement at all on a new constitution, or even the need for one or how its powers would be allocated be- tween Ottawa and the prov- inces. The federal-provincial confer- ence scheduled for here early next year was originally billed by Prime Minister Pearson as a "bill of rights" meeting.

There had been indications such.a committee would be set up, but the minister's announce- ment, in reply to a question by Barry Mather (NDP--New Westminster), was the first firm announcement.
