A further five-year loan is expected at the end of the initial period. For the first five years, Alcan’s operating costs will be about $400,000 annually. “We hopethe arrangement with the province can. be extended indefinitely,” Duncan said. “It’s impossible to apply a dollar figure to the total project, as the need for cleanup and maintenance will always be there.” _ IF SHE CAN- CANOE? .

That progress was slowed by a dispute over purchase of a Lockheed patrol plane that as much as anything pitted the minister against Jean-Pierre Goyer, supply minister.

But a plan for a research ‘centre for “Winnipeg was halted by his successor, Barney Danson. _ CONTINUE HIS FIGHTS He says his main jobtoday is his constitutional fight but he will continue to fight for industries for the West, which he compares with a developing country. For instance, the govern- ment is attempting to get Ford to build a plant in Ontario and a General Motors plant for Quebec, To do this it is using revenue it raised in the resourcerich - West, he says. Why, asks Richardson, does not the West have an auto plant when it purchases 25 per cent of the cars. and trucks in Canada? But his main focus is con- stitution.
