ee ee r 22 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesiey, June 26, 1963 PRAISES PEACE TEAM | Pension Schemes Conference Urged OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson has proposed a fed- eral - provincial conference on pensions and related welfare schemes. His suggestion is contained in a June 20 letter to the 10 provin. cial premiers. The letter was _--" in the Commons Tue3- y. Mr, Pearson asked the pre- miers to reply whether such a) conference is acceptable. After| he gets these replies, he would Suggest a date for the confer- ence. Mr. Pearson feferred to the} government plan, announced last week, for a 'Canada pen- sion plan." But he said this by itself will not be enough to meet a num- ber of other closely-related problems. : "The provision: of benefits for widows below pension age with dependent chi!iren, for orphans and for disabled persons are matters of mutual concem for federal. and provincial govern- ments. WOULD RAISE QUESTIONS "Since the inclusion of these benefits in a federal program would raise jurisdictional ques- tions, they are not a part of the proposed Canada pension plan." Mr. Pearson noted that sev- eral provincial governments in- dicated to former prime minis- ter Diefenbaker that they were willing to have the jurisdictional question clarified. Ais In my opinion this is an area which requires full consult- ation and discussion between federal and provincial govern- ments, in order that a satisfac- tory approach can be worked out." / He indicated that Ottawa " Would reveal to the proposed conference what it has in mind for such benefits, Also involved was the ques- tion of joint federal-provincial programs for. disability allow- ances, and, old age assistance-- shared-cost pensions for those aged 65 to 70, subject to a means test. Mr. Pearson added: "The time required to explore these various possibilities, how- ever, need not delay immediate steps for the improvements for our older citizens." Under the Canada pension plan, benefits would be related to previous earnings and would be combined with the existing flat-rate old age pension of $65 monthly for all at age 70. The new scheme would give pension-|, ers the option of getting "an ad- justed pension" from age 65. The resolution preceding this legislation--not yet dealt with by the Commons--was attached to the letter to the premiers. The resolution also calls for a $10 increase to $75 monthly in the flat-rate pension. Mr. Pearson said there still would be a place for private pension plans. However, growth of such plans had raised a number of special problems. "The absence of vesting of employer contributions inte r- feres with labor mobility. The lack of assurance that contribu- tions are set aside for future re- tirement, when an employee leaves. a firm, tends to weaken the effect of such schemes in making adequate provision for retirement benefits. "The solvency of private pen- sion plans also continues to be a concern." Whitton Denies Statement On Russia, U.S. OTTAWA (CP)--Mayor Char- lotte Whitton says she would like to know the name of the "friend" to whom she is re- ported to have stated she would sooner live in the U.S.S.R. than in the United States if her life depended upon the choice. Mayor Whittcn, back in Ot- tawa after attending the annual meeting of Ontario mayors and reeves at Pembroke, said in a statement she did not remem- ber saying any such thing. - The only time she remem- bered. discussing Russia was when the reeve of Algoma South told her that the Algon- quin Indians in his riding said the Russians must have been so impressed with Princess Pretty Woman that they decided to} send a woman into space. Miss Whitton was reported earlier from Pembroke to have said: "If I had my choice and my life depended on either the United States or the U.S.S.R., Fd take the U.S.S.R." She visited Russia this spring.
