Campagnolo

{Continued from page 1.)

Opposition leader Joe Clark
deviated from, traditional

ory policy and questioned,
for the first time,
bilingualism as _ the
foundation of the nation’s
future.

But Campagnolo feels that
Liberal language- policies
have been misunderstood
outside Quebec, that some
English-Canadians
subscribe to a _ false
conspiratorial belief that the
government wants to force
French on all Canadians.

British Columbia received
funds for French language
education 25 years ago, says
the MP, but it was diverted
to other uses.

“Tl think Mr. Gaglardi
(former Highways Minister
Phil Gaglardi) used it to
build roads but I suppose we
can never prove that, The
fact is that it was never used
for language education.

“Now, B.C. is the one
province that is very
vulnerable to the Levesque
charge that he can’t send a
French family here because
they wouldn’t be able to
educate their kids in
French. They wouldn't be

. able to find any schools of
French here.”

The education system
remains the best vehicle for
language training, says the
minister of state, ‘‘but
becayse there is no federal
role (constitutionally) in
education, we are
handicapped,”’

The province's woeful
record on bilingualism will

revent Premier Bennett
from contributing a great
deal about education and
language policy during the
upcoming premiers’
meeting, Campagnolo said.

“Maybe people would
rather take other
languages, like Japanese or
something, maybe that'll be
better for them in later life,
I don’t know.

“But the people who can’t
get into their heads that
French is the second
language are the ones I have
trouble talking to.”

Campagnolo said Clark’s
speech “points in the

ection of utilizing the
worst and blackest fears of
Anglophones instead of
being conducive to greater
harmony and unity, It will
lead to an ugly and
rancorous situation in the
country and, probably, that
kind of election campaign.”
KITIMAT OIL PORT

Discussing energy
options, the Skeena MP said

e supported continuation
of the hompeon oil ports
inquiry even ough Kitimat
Pipe Line Ltd. had asked
the National Energy Board
to suspend its application.

‘involve

“Regardless of whether‘a
pipeline is built now,” she

id the Herald, ‘there will
be a need to establish where
in B.C. is the best place to
put one, if there is a best
place.”

She said Thompson's
expanded terms of
reference, to © include
‘investigation of -all west
coast port options, mention
Kitimat specifically “only
because it’s the only
Canadian port under
consideration,”’

Campagnolo believes that
Port Angeles would be the
best marine terminal and
she supports a call by David
Anderson, former’ B.C.
Liberal leader, for Canada
to invest in the oil port
there,

*Canada does have a
vested interest in Port
Angeles, in seeing no
environmental damage is
done ther...It’s just a stone’s
throw from Victoria harbor.

“We can't have vessels, —

even 17,000 DWT tankers
cleaning their bilges near
Port Angeles. Now they're
talking about 500,000 DWT
super tankers... that’s like a
floating island.” .

Campagnolo noted that
the American government is
providing incentives to
domestic construction of oil
tankers and this will add toa

sible U.S. decision to
avor sea routes for both oil
and natural gas.

If Trans Mountain
pipeline’s proposal to
establish a Cherry Point
Wash., terminal is rejected
by the National Energy
Board or the American
Federal Energy Authority,
then we'll be back where we
were in the spring,” says
Campagnolo. nothing that
the Port Angeles bid is still
up in the air following the
company’s refusal to
in itself in the
ompson inquiry.

Kitimat Pips Line’s
suspension of its application

was just a ‘‘strategic

move”, the MP said.
