LIBERAL'S
“ENERGY POLICY”
QUICK BUCK PLAN

BY LYLE KRISTIANSEN
NDP-MP, Kootenay West

In the backrooms and committees of
Parliament, major issues which will affect
future generations often go unnoticed by the
average Canadian. The Liberal govern-
ment’s Oil and Gas Act is just one such
crucial proposal. Before you know it, this
fast grab for direct exploitation may have
sacrificed our Northland, our oceans and
our energy future for a short term windfall.

do not object to the National Energy
Policy for the same reasons as the foreign-
owned oil companies complain about, ad
nauseum, through their lobbyists and
expensive ad campaigns. Their arguments,
that the government’s plans to Canadianize
the industry infringes on their freedom to
make mega-profits and run the energy show
in Canada, impress few, if any.

In fact, the Canadianization provisionsin
the government’s energy policy are but
weak window-dressing and the Liberals
have already back-tracked from even them.

The National Energy Policy is not taxing
the oil companies out of their spirit of
“enterprise”. Hardly a dent has been made
in their cash flow or profits. The provisions
to give PetroCanada a share of the business
are much less than the demands made by
many other countries, such as Norway, for
their state-owned energy companies.

What I do object to is how this policy and
act (Bill C-48) sets aside huge tracts of
federal government lands for the giant
energy projects without consultation or
consideration of the needs of the peoples and
areas affected. It hands over to the Minister
of Energy dictatorial and widespread pow-
ers, including unilateral control over devel-
opment and environmental protection in the
North.

This “energy policy” is little more than a
recipe for quick bucks, while ignoring
traditional and important economic resour-
ces such as fisheries. What these big energy
projects do to our fisheries, our environment
and the needs of future generations of
Canadians will not be taken into account
and the disaster compensation fund is a
sham,

This heralded Liberal “energy policy”
leaves us without any comprehensive plan
for development of renewable and nonre-
newable resources. My view and that of the
NDP has been that Bill C-48 has little
substance of value and still leaves real
control of Canada’s energy wealth in the
hands of the multi-national oil companies.
As Jim Fulton, M.P. for Skeena, and envir-
onmental spokesman for the NDP said in a
recent Ottawa release;

“Bill C-48 is the trademark of a group of
greedy, careless quick buck artists prepared
to take the profits and run, but not prepared
to evaluate the true costs or to involve the
public anywhere in monitoring, evaluating
or determining the fate of the environment
which provides their livelihood”.

That approach symbolizes the trademark
of the Liberal government’s real policies —
quick, flashy and shallow — in energy asin
so many other spheres. It sounds progres-
sive but masquerades its real impact and
intent.

Concerned Canadians should speak out
now. They must not be allowed to smother
our alternative energy options and take our
environmental future out of public control.
