Energy minister Bob Mcclelland said he has set up an administration program for Inland Waters that cover vast undersea reserves of natural Gas. The program is the first step in allowing companies to begin exploration of an area that could contain Between two trillion and three trillion cubic feet of natural Gas. The areas include Hecate Strait Dix ii Entrance Queen Charlotte sound Queen Charlotte Strait John Stone Strait Georgia Strait and Juan de Fuca Strait. There Are estimates that the geological conditions Are right and that there could be As much Gas in that area than we have known reserves in British Columbia at the present said Mcclelland.

Will argue that Waters lying within a line Down the coast outside the Queen Char Lotte islands and Vancouver Island Are Inland Waters and under provincial jurisdiction. The . Court of Appeal has ruled that the province has jurisdiction Over Inland Waters. Ottawa has appealed the ruling but there has been no action on the Appeal for three years. We Are acting now because of the growing concern Over Oil Security and a liberals accused of cashing in on Petrosina Deal newspaper allegation cites named senator Cabinet ministers and others continued from Page 1 government purchased Petrosina at a share. Strong was recently made a director of the Canada development corp. And had been touted As a potential chair Man by finance minister Allan Mac Eachen. Strong also got in government commissions for arranging the takeover. The article says an unnamed Liberal senator and his wife were listed As having bought 500 shares in Petrosina and says that the wife of a Quebec supreme court Justice was listed As owning shares Worth it says that Wallace Mccain of Florenceville n.b., is listed As having bought shares. His brother Harri son Mccain was appointed a director of Petrovan in March. It named Liberal William Sobey pres ident of the Atlantic provinces super Market Chain of the same name As having bought shares and another through a Sobey affiliate. The report says Munro is listed As a director of Molly investments which purchased Petrosina shares on sept. 15. It says another Molly director was Munro s former Law partner Jack Pelech whose sister Dorothy is the wife of Owen Muisin a Mississauga ont., businessman who was awarded a million contract to manufacture new gasoline station signs for Petro Canada. The Molly shares were purchased at and sold at the takeover Price of resulting in a profit. Munro Rose on a question of privilege and told the commons he had never heard of the company until yesterday morning when he read about it in the paper. Munro challenged Clark to put his own integrity on the line by making a charge in the House. Munro said he had no dealings in Petrosina Stock buying it or Selling it or talking about it. Trudeau told Clark he had not asked other Cabinet ministers whether they were involved. He said he also had t asked them whether they d stopped beating their wives yet and then asked Clark if he d stopped beating his. Trudeau said that the Cabinet was not told about the takeover until after Trad ing had ceased at 5 . On Jan. 29. The markets were closed until feb. 3, he said. And the timing made a Prima Facie Case to show there was no profiteering. Clark said he wanted to know which members of the Cabinet had prior knowledge because they had served on various Cabinet committees and when they found out about the pending take Over. Clark said the conservatives want a parliamentary inquiry rather than one by Ouellet s department because re sults of the latter can be withheld by the government. Ouellet said later that he will make details of his investigation Public. Between the securities investigations and Ouellet s investigations the facts would be found out Trudeau said. Trudeau repeatedly referred to the the newspaper As garbage saying at one pint that he read few newspapers and in particular he did not read news papers that print garbage. Clark said he accepted Munro s Deni Al of involvement and indicated that Munro s Law firm May have automatically listed him As a director in Molly. But he said that does not absolve the prime minister of responsibility to ensure that All his Cabinet ministers Are free from involvement. Shares in Petrosina went from to a traditional level of in the months preceding the Jan. 30 takeover at Munro denies involvement need to ensure that economic opportunities related to exploration and exploitation Are maximized and possible detrimental environmental and social impacts Mcclelland said. To ensure the Marine environment is protected a two phase Public inquiry will be held by the . Utilities com Mission. The first phase must be completed and the recommendations Exa mined by the Cabinet before exploration can take place. The second phase must be completed before any Petroleum production can commence. Mcclelland said Chevron Standard Ltd. And Petro Canada have shown interest in the program. Alberta says fault lies in Ottawa continued from Page 1 Ian Waddell new democratic party Energy critic said canadians Are being Nickle and died to death. It is a political move More than anything designed to continue the heat on said Waddell my for Vancouver King Sway. Alberta Energy minister Merv Leitch rejected blame for the increase saying it was Ottawa s fault. They made the Choice by unilaterally imposing a Price which they knew we would regard As totally Leitch said. They knew we would reduce Lalonde told reporters that about half the increase could be blamed on Alberta s decision monday to go ahead with its second production Cut of barrels a Day. After the first production drop March 1 of barrels a Day of Light and medium crude Ottawa responded immediately by imposing a special tax of one half cent a litre or about 2.25 cents a gallon on All Petroleum products. That tax brought about million a Day to pay for imported Oil. Ottawa the Winner Leitch said Ottawa has grabbed the lion s share of new revenues. Since the Federal budget of oct. 28, 1980, the Price at the refinery has gone up about of which has gone to Alberta and the remaining has gone to the Federal he is scheduled to meet with Lalonde next wednesday. The import compensation tax was introduced in last october s budget so Consumers would pay directly the Cost of subsidizing Eastern refiners for the difference Between the Price of domes tic Oil a barrel and foreign Oil now about a barrel. The latest increase in the compensation tax about eight tenths of a cent a litre Means that for each litre of gasoline or heating Oil about 3.4 cents goes toward paying import subsidies. The increased taxes to offset the Cost of imports in general and the Alberta cuts in particular will allow the govern ment to collect an additional Mil lion each Day to help pay for imports Lalonde said. He said the special taxes would be removed if Alberta decides to restore Normal production Levels. A ;
