An important recommendation of the Rowell-Sirois commission in 1939 was that the federal government institute a system of ``national adjustment grants'' for poorer provinces and that general transfers be made to ensure that the provinces had enough revenue to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities without undue taxation.
The government wants poorer provinces to raise taxes.
The text states that the commission recommended the government produce grants for poorer provinces in order that they do not have to tax too highly, but does not say anything about whether the recommendations were actually implemented.
