The members of the Rowell-Sirois Commission in 1938
Summary
By 1935 Bennett resigned and King became Prime Minister again and it was then that he established the National Employment Commission, which gave people jobs and the National Housing Act, giving houses to people that had lost theirs when they went bankrupt. The outcome of this was the creation of equalization payments which are cash payments made in some federal systems of government from the federal government to subnational governments with the objective of offsetting differences in available revenue or in the cost of providing services. The wealthy provinces didn't like this because it meant they were being taxed to help the poorer Provinces.
