ROYAL COMMISSION: Legalize incest OTTAWA (CP)— The Law Reform Commission of Canada stuck to its guns Wednesday, recommending to Parliament that incest between consenting adults no longer be a crime. This would apply, if other proposals become law, to anyone above the age of 17. Those 17 and wnder would be protected by a law erohibiting sexual in- tercourse with a dependent under 18, whether the ag- gressor was a parent, guardian, relative, employer or teacher, There would be an ab- solute ban on sexual relations with anyone under 1 The proposals are to be ta- bled in the Commons by Justice Minister Mare Lalonde amd are contained in a volume proposing a broad reform of sexual offences in the Criminal Code. The incest proposals, initially made last June in a working paper, may draw the most lightning. The Conservatives took alm this past winter at commission officials for even mentioning such changes as the Com- mons justice committee drafted a report on por- nography. But the commission, in its final report, says that ‘‘in the absence of any exploitation of authority or dependency, it is felt that incestuous behavior ought not te be treated as a criminal act.” It said the genetic risk of inbreeding does not justify the intervention of criminal law. “In the first place, the available scientific evidence is controversial and does not support the contention that the offspring of blood-related parents are necessarily more Iikely to be born with genetic defects. Incest was not a cause but a result of a disturbance within a family. Criminal law should be used only to protect youths in such cases. The law now defines incest as intercourse with a parent, child, brother, sister, grandparent or grandchild, half-brother or halfsister. Penalty is up to 14 years in prison. But most incest cases coming to court involved fathers and young daughters—a relationship that would be prohibited by a provision against relations with dependent youths under 18 or with minors under 14. $100 million loan made by Alberta OTTAWA CP - Alberta has agreed to lend the new Progressive Conservative government of Nova Scotia $100 million, the largest inter-provincial loan In history. Premier John Buchanan of Nova Scotia, elected this fall, sald in an interview that §50 million would go to the Nova Scotia Power Commission FOR THE NORTH Mining means road, jobs across the Alice Arm Bay from Alice Arm. Climax Molybdenum Mines Co. is expected to start up the mine abandoned by B B.C, Molybdenum in April i eheltord Bald from the information he received from Jim Chabot, minister of mines, the Climax company will be spending $10 million to get the mine going by 1982. About 400 construction workers are expected to build the estimated 175 homes at Kitsault. Shelford said the are body at Kitsault is very Large and the mine, which will employ about 450 permanent mine workers, will last for about 20 years. It will be an open- pit mining operation, Before the mine shut down in 1972 about 6,000 tons of ore aday were being mined. The new development will in- crease that figure to 12,000 tons of molybdenum a day. There are presently nine people at Kitsault and about 60 homes which can be used by workers, says Lyle Flint, a resident at the settlement. There are only five people living at Alice Arm, which was bullt during the early 1900s, and most of these while the remaining $50 million would go for general provinclal spending. He arranged the ioan with Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, a Progressive Conservative provincial leader who has made similar loans in the past, just 20 minules before an federal- provincia] economic con- ference came to a close. people are the picneers who remained there. Chabot said, according to Shelford, that 1979 will be the biggest exploration and development year for mining in the hiatory of the province. This will be for all minerals, including coal, throughout the province. large chunk of that exploration and develop- ment will be in the nor- thwest,”” said Shelford.
