to only about $250 million.
Ultimately, Alcan shareholders
won't agree to a deal unless it
gives them a better return than
they would have received if they
had pursued Alcan’s daim. to
several hundred million dollars in

Another issue on the to-be-
negotiated fist is the Kenney Dam
Release Facility.

Under KCP, Alcan planned to
"spill cold, deep reservoir water —
instead af warmed surface water

Harcourt: said ‘the ' province
wants the release facility built

when those fish are being taken

. Scott says, Tobin should préss

harder on’a main principle of the. i
Pacific Salmon Treaty — those.

who enhance fish should primari-..
ly benefit from catching them.
That principle isn’t affected al-
though there is no fishing alloca- |
tion deal this year.
That’s because the foundatious ;
of the treaty remain unchanged

Alcan deal cost |

Alcan’s opponents would. not
get their wish. for further teduc-
tons in the amount of water the
company now diverts out of the
Nechako watershed to its existing
generating station at Kemano, —

_ “The Nechako river flow will

never be retumed to its original
state,’? Ramsey said. ‘“The Ken-

. ney Dam 1 is in place and is not

going to be torn down,’

B.C, Reform leader Jack Weis-
gerber. called the deal a stalling
tactic to get the NDP through the
ext election without having to
face the consequences of cancell-

"ing the Kemano Completion Pro-

ject.

lf negotiations break down, all
bets are off and Alcan still has the
right to go to court-and sue. the.
province for the hundreds of. mil-
lions, of dollars it claims is due i in,
‘compensation for the cancellation —

during negotiations each year to
decide upon catch limits.

Scoit said salmon treaty talks
are further hampered because the
American states of Oregon,
Washington and Alaska are equal
siguatorics to the deal with the
American federal government.

‘Hach one of those has a veto
power and the State of Alaska is
exercising its veto because of
pressure from Alaskan commer-
cial fishing interesta,’* he said.

The MP says Tobin should put
more pressure on the American
federal government to bring
Alaskainto line,

During bis period as native af-
fair critic, Scott found himself
under attack for his positions on
land claims and related policies,

But now, in his new position,
Scott says lie won't be surprised
if he finds common ground with
various native groups,

Reform MP John Duncan from
Vancouver Island was Scott’s
partner in native affaim. He now
has that job all by himself,

THE DEAL

Ml Alcan gets to exercise its
option for more power any-
time within the next 20 years
— but only If it’s going to use
the power for another
aluminum smelter or some
other ‘industrial activity,
thereby creating more jobs
in the northwest. °
‘The province. then sup-
plies the company with 285
megawatis of power for 60 to
80 years. That's the amount
of power KCP would have
produced,

@ Alcan pays the. province
the $800 million it would
have spent to finish KCP for
the power. That. figure: will
be adjusted upwards through
the years for inflation,

gotiated by Mar. 31, 1996 or
