The liberals Are also determined to win seals held by the tories in Quebec. They have made a dead Sel to unseat Claude Wagner and Roeh la Salle and Are gunning for he Ward Grafftey Quebec pcs. Realistic liberals pick a figure of 03 seats As possible wins for their parly in Quebec. Thai would give the party six More from Quebec Ihan it held in the previous parliament. Others Are forecasting 70 seals which worries other members of the party. They Are fearful that if the liberals come Back with 70 seats from Quebec it will be a Quebec oriented party. They want to see the. Liberals winning heavily in Ontario us picking up seals in the Mari limes and in Western Canada. The realists among the girls claim they have a Good Chance of winning four Ridings in the maritime provinces to give them 14, icy give the parly g3 seals in Quebec 40 seats in Ontario claim they will Boll three in the Prairies and ent up Wilh. Four in British Columbia. That would give the parly Only a local of 124 scats. To have a majority the party needs to win 134 seats out o the 264 member parliament. One member is selected from the largest group to sit As speaker of the House of com m o n s leaving the largest group with one less effective member sitting on the government Side. More optimistic members of the Liberal organization see their party romping Home the Winner with a bigger bundle of Ontario constituencies.

The unbridled spending of our Federal provincial and municipal governments is one of he iwo major factors in inflation that we can do some. The other of course is excessive Inion there had been politically motivated attacks on profits and he sail he was concerned i lat. People would misunderstand the issues. Oil companies had been re Arling Protil Ihcrease-3 in the Rel Quarter in the area of 100. Per cent Over a year earlier and for Industrial corporations he average. Was 40 per cent. Corporate executives argue that part of the reason is that inflation makes the numbers look big. And they say companies Are simply recovering rom abnormally Low profit Levels. Speaking at the same meeting of manufacturers Ian Sinclair chairman of Canadian Pacific Ltd., declared the country is Drifting towards towards the Point where the existence of the private sector is at Issue. Prime minister tru Cleau has said a re elected Liberal government would take Over railway passenger service which rail company executives have said is unprofitable. This perhaps would leave or. Sinclair Wilh a difficult Choice Between profits and philosophies. Dead on the order paper of the last parliament Are at least three pieces of legislation that businessmen Are not anxious to see revived. Less Ihan iwo weeks Blore its fall the government brought in a Bill that would enable it to freeze prices where there was evidence of profiteering. This was seen As a move by the minority liberals to retain support of the new democratic parly which Hael been dem a n d i n g imposition of an excess profits lax. The govern Cal previously lad introduced amendments to the combines invest ligation acl that the can Aelian chamber of Commerce saw As an unwarranted Extension of the pow i of a court to Grant a prohibition order concerning Trade practices.

Bankers had Bill cry opposed the move to allow the provinces Inlo the banking political leaders. Most of the letter was subsequently reprinted As a guest editorial in Oil week a Maclean Hunter Ltd.

It seems to me a strange and puzzling commentary on he Broad philosophy of our Lartic Palive democracy that we Are witnessing a disruptive conflict and confrontation of governments challenging one incl her in a Competition to extract the last possible Penny rom our Industry. And apparently with an absolute for the economic Well being of the Industry or the people who have chosen it As heir or. Poyen provided a set of admittedly unsophisticated figures that he said leave Only eight per cent of the Price of an Export barrel of Oil for such expenses As paying salaries and wages and for investment in exploration and development. Or. Turner says the Federal government proposed to take a larger share because the world Price increased. And he says the proposals Are in part an attempt to maintain the Federal government share As provincial royalties have been raised. The Industry response has been to raise the spectre of the pipeline running dry. From a Long term Point if View Canada s Energy crisis is even More serious now than it was a year ago because of a proliferation of oppressive and often conflicting policies from the various Levels of Jerry Mcafee president of Gulf Oil of Canada Ltd., said in a speech in Toronto earlier this month. These policies seem guaranteed to create Energy shortages in the 1980s, and beyond he said. There is conflicting evidence about Oil company plans. A Story in the june 10 edition of Oil week says there has been an exodus of seismic Crews participants in one of the first Steps in the exploration process. Crews were travelling South because of political uncertainty Here and High demand in the United states.

The Pace continued after the release of the May c budget and Industry sources were quoted As saying High values reflected a buoyant mood elevated to a feverish pitch by High prices. An Export tax on crude Oil is used by the Federal government to subsidize Eastern refiners who must buy imported crude at a higher Price than that charged for Western crude.
