The plan was to replace the University Grants program and much of the assistance for technical and vocational train ing under the current agreements which expire in March. During the conference last fall there was agreement with the principles underlying the new arrangement with the concept that the Transfer though taking into account the costs of higher education should be unconditional and designed to exert no influence on the Structure and Content of provincial programs.
