Terrace parents By ERLEEN COMEAU Herald Stall Writer Terrace area parents voiced frustrations Monday night at a meeting regarding the cancellation of a French core program, Cadre de Francais, which was to begin Sept. 4. Dr. Nick Ardanaz, executive director French language ser- vices for the ministry of education, was on hand to . enlighten the discouraged parents who felt the program had not been fairly dealt with. The stand taken by School District 988 (Terrace) was that qualified teachers were not available to get the program started for the 1979-80 school year, The echool board also indicated it was faced with the problem of lack of information about Cadre de Francals, which was expanded on by. Ardanaz Monday. Ardanaz presented the program with a total description of the course outline. The English curriculum was used to Isl develop a parallel French program from primary to intermediate levels, he said, Ardanaz also said this school year sees 12 school ia not enough surplus domestic production to permit both the exports and the avaps to continue. ‘Although precise programs have yot to be laid out, it seems likely that demand in peak winter months will be such as to preclude light crude ex: ports,” Hnatyshyn sald in a news release, ON PET OCA Broadbent vows vote HALIFAX (CP) — New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broadbent sald Tuesday his party la prepared to force an early election if necessary: to prevent the government from breaking up Petro-Canada. “We intend to force the issue if (Prime Minister) Clark doesn't come around," be told students at Mount St. Vincent Univeralty, adding ' that the future of Petro- Canada will be the most important isaue before the upcoming session of Parila- ment. Broadbent later told a news conference that the Petro-Canada issue wae one in which there was a clear difference between the at- titude of the Progressive Conservatives and the majority of Canadians. “We have a serious moral cbligation to those Canadians — the majority who want to preserve Petro Can — to use our electoral strength, such as it ls, to - force the issue. And we in- tend to farca the issue, ln- cluding a vote of confidence if Clark does not come around to what we regard a5 the clear view of the majority of Canadians.” The NDP leader said the Conservative proposal to have Petro-Canada maintain control aver frontler ex- ploration, oilsands and eavy-oll research while selling off its profitable assets will mean that the corporation will eventually be disbanded. If the Conservatives succeed with their present plans, he said, in two years or less they will tell Parliament that the parts of Petro-Canada still in public hands are loging monéy and will suggest that they be disbanded. The Conservatives are determined to hand more power to the multinational corporations who already hold 90 per cent of the petroleum industry, he said. The Liberals had already handed these companies tax “handouts” which have led to“'mind-boggling profits.” Broadbent said the NDP also opposes selling off a part of Petro-Canada to Canadians ss the Britlah Columbla government sald shares of Britizh Columbia Resources Investment Corp. to residenta of the province. Broadbent said Canadians now have a share in the corporation; the proposal sell shares was a game to pretend that selling off a section to the private sector would broaden ownership. “It's going to narrow own- ership ...even if initlally a tot of Canadiana somehow get shares they would otherw'! nothave. Withina very quick period of me you would see ose share accumulated into increasingly smaller number of hancis."’ It would undermine the. effectiveness of the cor- ration to “‘hive off" to the vate sector parts of its activities, he said, ‘because those are the profitmaking parts that are esséntial to ’ malntain the non-profitable, but essentlal, explorat/on and development work in the Aretic, here in Atlantic. Canada and elsewhere." Asked whether a com- promise on the future of Petro-Canada was possible with the Conservatives, Broadbent said it was about as likely as Robert Stanfleld returning from the Middle East with a “magic for- mula” that would allow the Clark government to go ahead with its proposal to move the Canadian embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. PETROCAN TO STAY ON OWN CALGARY (CP) — Petro- Canada, the state-owned oil company, will continue to be self-sufficient after it is dis- mantied by the federal government, Michael Wilson, minister of state for international trade, sald Tuesday. The Progressive Con- servatives never claimed they. wanted to destroy the company, he told the Canadian Club of Calgary. “We want to return Petro- Canada to the private sector, with the exception of certain of its functions.” These would include negotiations between Canada and other countries, research and development of unconventional energy sources, The newly-structured company would not depend on heavy government backing, he said. It would be less of & drain on the public purse, would be subject to the atricter discipline of the private sector and entire! dependent on its own cai low, In an interview later, the minlater refused to speculate on how the company would be turned over to the private sector, He sald he ‘did not want to prejudge the decision of a federaily- appointed study group consid the issue, Wilson digressed from a prepared text on in- ternational trade to talk about Petro-Canada. He sald there is a need for more Teason in public discussion an the issue. He said later, however, the ultimate deciaion on transfer of Petro-Canada to the rivate sector would be largely a business decision. He ted little influence from the public. However, if public debate intensified, it might become 8 factor. provinclal governments, “The government has a great deal of control and influence over the petroleum industry In this country,” he The government’s goal’ was to find a way of PetroCanada most effective in “lea us to the over-all goal of self-sufficiency.” A key ingredient in that. effort was establishing a harmonious relationship between the federal and UIC charges OTTAWA (CP) — Top provincial employment officials failed Tuesday to ve their bl to any tails of a federal plan to tignten up the unem- ployment insurance program. However, the provincial deputy ministers of em- ployment agreed that at future meetings their governments will listen to federal arguments In favor - of cutting benefits and modifying rules, sald Progressive Conservative MP Paul MeCroasan. McCrossan, a Toronto MP assigned to monitor the deputy ministers’ meeting for Employment Minlater Ron Atkey, said the provinces did sot commit themselves to any changes. “The provinces obviously have concern about the impact on welfare,”’ Nc- Crossan added. They fear that insurance claimants who lose benefits will turn to provincial welfare for assist ance. However, he said there was agreement ta meet again in mid-November to discuss federal studies now belng prepared on the financial impact of the proposed changes to the pro- sram. told try next year districts in B.C, that have established 20 classes in the newly implemented program. The teachers hired for these classes were subjected to a four- week course at Pearson College on Vancouver before they were placed on the program. “I guarantee you, if you have a weak teacher the program will die in 4 matter of months," he anid. Ardanaz said he shared the parents disap- pointment and stated that “at the ministry level we are going to start early to assist schoola who' are looking {or teachers.” . “What I would like to see for Terrace in that we try again, find the teachers and get them to Pearson College,” sald Ardanaz. Ardanaz is not hopeful they will start this year on the continuity of elementary to high school but stated, ‘we have been mandated by the government to start working on the high schools,” Alex Leveque, chair- man for Parents for French, expressed his concern to Nan Harrison, chairman of the education committee for the school board stating, “the kids are losing the language and in some it is irreversible.” Harrison said, “We moved on It as fast as we could and we will cer- tainly try for the 1080 school year." Members of the parenta group said they are confident that they have enough parents in the Terrace area wanting to educate their children in the Cadre de Francais program, oes s
