47
Q

Why did the Fathers of Confederation give most of the ability to raise funds to the federal government, but responsibility for expensive social programs to the provincial governments? What priorities did teh Fathers of Confederation have at the time of Confederation? What were Canadians’ priorities by the 1930s?

A

I think because it would give the federal government more control but it would make it seem like they were giving the provinces lots of control when they weren’t really. It also really smart to make the provinces swallow the heavy costs. Teh provinces wanted the power and the father’s of confederation gave it to them byt they still made it benefit themselves. At the time of confederation the father priorities were establishing Canada as a nation that was separate from Britain. The father of confederation were looking to keep the provinces happy and establish a system where they still had control (Quebec wanted to keep their distinctive culture). Canadians priorities by teh 1930s were more along the lines of making Canada a booming force in the world. they were obviously looking to get Canada out of the Depression with as little damage as possible.

48
Q

What is Old Age Security and how will it apply to me?

A

It sends monthly cheques to all Canadians over the age of sixty-five. It applies to me because it is a universal program so everyone, reagardless of other income sources, receives the benefits.

49
Q

What is unemployment insurance?

A

It is funded by worker payroll deductions, employer contributions, and the federal government. If individuals lose their job, they can then collect money from the program while they look for a new job. It was develped in 1940 wit a constitutional amendment which gave the federal government responsibility for unemployment insurance.

50
Q

What is family allowance?

A

Was introduced in 1945 by Prime Minister King. It is to help Canadians raise their children. It was created as a universal program. In 1989, the federal government renamed the program teh Child Tax Benefit and ended payments to families with higher incomes in order to increase the payments to other families.

51
Q

What is welfare?

A

Was created in 1966 to help people unable to work. the federal and provincial governments shared coasts for the program. Provincial welfare programs had to meet national standards.

52
Q

How was the development of Canada’s social security programs historically significant?

A

Because we were one of the first countries to have programs like those so we served as a model for other countries. They are still in place today and they make Canada the country that country that it is.

53
Q

Do you think these programs are a direct consequence of the Depression, or do you believe they would have been development even if the Depression had not happened?

A

I do think that these programs are a direct result of the depression because the government saw what can happened when you don’t have programs such as these. I do believe that similar programs would have been developed eventually because people always will fight for what they believe to be right.
