		To the disgrace of England, none of this wealth was spent on the improvement of Newfoundland or the promotion of settlement among the floating resident population.
		Burin continued to grow and in the Burin Population remained steady between 1,500 and 2,000 people until about 1949, when Newfoundland became a province of Canada and the Centralization plan for Newfoundland came into effect, moving people from the outports into "growth centers".
		Settlements such as Great Burin, Shalloway and Step-a-Side fell victim to this plan, and residents were moved from their island homes onto the "mainland" of Burin.
