Tories urged to follow the BCRIC road -

TORONTO (CP) — The
federal government haa been
urged to return most af the
highly-profitable assets of
Petro-Canada to private
hands by giving free shares
to all Canadians.

The recommendation,
made by Prime Mlnister
Clark's advisory committee
on the stateowned oil
agency, was disclosed
Sunday by New Democratic
Party Leader Ed Broadbent,
who had obtained a copy of
the commillee’s report in
advance.

Modelled on British
Columbia's giveaway of

shares in Its conglomerate of
former Crown corporations,
the plan, due fer release
today, also urges the
creation of a government
agency that would assume
all Petro-Canada's debts and
retain all responsibility for
negotiating oil agreements
with other countries.

The new agency also would
promote research and
development and advise the the
minister cf energy, mines
and resources,

Treacury Board Prealdent
Sinclair Stevens said in an
interview Canadians would
get about $100 worth of free

“shares under the new plan.

Broadbent was quick to at-
tack the plan, saying it
amounted to keeping Petro-

debt and privatizing the
profits.

Under the iveaway plar plan,
ownership of initial share :

“The meaning of this is
that the government will
destroy Petro-Canada,
which most Canadians want
to keep,”’ Broadbent sald of
the plan, given him in a
“brawn envelope.”

However, once trading of
the shares begins, In-
dividualg would be allowed

to accumulate up to one per .

stitutional investors allowed

said of the agency created in

government and now In-

exploration to running a
chain of service stations.
“Petracan is not an ab-

He said Clark seems to
think a government agency
cannot succeed, adding that
the PetroCanada repart
appears to share the prime
minister's view.

Broadbent said the report
says a Crown corporation
cannot assume the two tasks
of making money and
dealing with national con-
cerns. It also said one of its
duties is to reduce direct
