✨ Provincial Government Notices

If the Council has not established a connection with the Executive, it is because it has attempted and failed to bring into practical operation, certain opinions based on a special construction of laws, under which the Government is administered, and which in the course of last session, it had waived in agreement with the Superintendent. It is to be regretted that on account of a difference of speculative opinion in a matter affecting practical administration, it should refuse to assist, or advise the Government in dealing with the most serious part of the liabilities, yet these liabilities must be provided for, in some way; and before a new Government can come into power in this Province. The advances from the General Government, under the agreement will extend into September; after they shall have ceased no resources will be left from whence to meet the liabilities falling due, unless some provision is made shortly.
It was to this exigency that the Superintendent, in Message No. 5, desired to draw the special attention of the Council, and he still trusts that they will evidence an appreciation of its grave importance, by advising as to the most prudent course to be adopted.
