PGA member David Ekroth, 33, a former UFAWU member, testified that because of harasament he lost at Teast $10,000 profit in the four-month 1978 season during which he made a net profit of $50,000. ‘ Ekroth said his was among 100 gillnetters which continued to fish in Rivers Inlet on July 16 despite warnings that they should not. He said he did not believe the strike legally affected the PGA which is an association of inde- pendent fishermen, AIR CANADA'S BID Nordair takeover OTTAWA (CP) — The pro- posed takeuver of Nordair Lid. by Crown-owned Air Canada has landed a major industry cuntroversy in the lap of the federal povern- ment, forcing a iung-overdue review uf federal policies , affecting airline services, The Canadian transport commission’s July approval of Air Canada's $25-million bid fur the regional carrier, in the face of sume strong arguments against it during 11 days of public hearings, resulted in a spate uf appeals lv cabinet which now must decide whether tv allow it. Sume critics «of the takeover say that the cabinet review should alsu consider ihe increased uwnership of airlines by guvernment Which slarted wilh the Alberta government's 1977 purchase uf Pacific Western Airlines (PWA), a process ‘extended by PWA's recent takeover of Winnipeg-based Transair Lid, . Cabinel alsu must decide whether cuntrol wf Nurdair, the country’s third largest regional carrier, would increase Air Canada’s j~ already. duminant pusitian, . and reduce cumpetitiun in an industry"where it has-uften been more illusury than real. A 1966 guvernment air policy assigned five protected areas of the couniry to privately-owned regional carriers tv enable them tu uperate profitably, An Air Canada takeuver of Nordair wuuld leave only (wo uf the original five— Eastern Provincial Airways, which serves the Atlantic provinces, and Quebecair, which serves Labrador and easlern Quebec—in privale hands. Prime Minister Trudeau said in August the govern- ment wuuld back off from intrusions in the market- place, which in sume cases would mean “returning functions tu the private sectlor,"” Oppunents of the takeover, including the governments of Ontario and Quebec, the Consumers’ Assucialion of Canada, Windsor Liberal MP Herb Gray, Greal Lakes Airlines—an — unsuccessful bidder fur Nurdair—and Quebecair, Nurdair’s chief rival in the lucrative wimer charter market to the south- ern sun, have argued thal il would harm competition, Even ihe government's own combines investigation branch oppused the deal, saying cumpetition would be reduced because Air Canada would naturally curtail any actions by a subsidiary which harmed its awn financial position. Opponents puint to Nurdair routes in Ontario and Quebec— including hups between Montreal, Oilawa, Hamilton and Windsour—~ which overlap with some Air Canada roules. They wonder how lung Air Canada would allow such competition frum a subsidiary. They point alsu io Nordair charler flights ta Florida, (he Caribbean and Europe, which compete with the regularlyscheduled flights of Air Canada, saying Nordair may become a_ iess aggressive compeliter with ils new parent in that area as well, That the issue is a difficult one to resolve was un- derlined by a split among members of the transport commiss.gn panel which examined the takesver bid. Ciummissioner Lotis Talbal opposed it, saying it would reduce competition and was against ‘he public interest. Cummissiun vice- president Guy Roberge, while suppurting =the majority, recommended that Air Canada be directed hy ¥ 39-95 pair installed cabinet tu maintain Nurdair as a separale enlily ty compete with Air Canada.
