Of that million was to come from the province.

Ottawa is not trying to avoid Poten tial political embarrassment but it Australia s Malcolm Fraser and Trudeau at talks yesterday. Chc policy on heating Oil unlikely to Hurt Manitoban does want to make sure it is not throw ing Money out the window he said. Better Quality consultation is needed with Northern Manitoba indians and other northerners he said. There were a lot of horror stories. There were roads built that went no where and roads that were built through villages that made them look like a bomb had hit in Manitoba a senior Federal civil servant said she doubts the Ottawa assessment.

De Bane made Public the one year Extension under questioning from progressive conservative Jake Epp the Manitoba tory asked if the Federal Cabinet had decided it lacks the spare Money to fund new agreements with Manitoba or other provinces. The Manitoba civil servant added that the province has made a series of proposals for a new agreement which have been discussed by government officials and further discussions toward a full scale pact Are but because Money from the old agreement remained to be spent and projects remained to be completed Ottawa authorized a one year Extension she said. Discussion with native people and other affected groups has already taken place but the department views the discussions As an ongoing process and More May be needed the Manitoba official said. Criticism of the five year pact has generally been limited to either conceptual criticism or based on the notion that a particular area needed More Money than it received she said. Ever since last year s Liberal convention in Winnipeg the government and Cabinet ministers have been Ada Mant that when Ottawa provides Money it should get the publicity and Federal provincial projects should not be masked As provincial projects.

It s not a growing Garratt said adding that More Consumers Are turning to other forms of Energy. Garratt whose company supplies heating Oil in Rural Manitoba was responding to a Chc announcement which said the new regulation will take effect tomorrow. Housing minister Paul Cosgrove announced the move in Ottawa As part of the Federal government s nine month old Energy saving standards plan designed to re Duce the amount of Oil used in Home heat ing. The regulation will not apply in areas where an alternative to Oil cannot be purchased at a reasonable Cost. Manitoba Hydro spokesman Rudy Boivin agreed the move would have Little Impact in Manitoba.
