Monday. It was the Progressive Conservative government’s first bill of the new Parliament tobe steered into committee and it happened after just one day's debate and with no opposition. Most MPs praised the bill, saying such legislation, which would affect an estimated 2,200 recipients — moatly women, between 60 and 65 years old — saying it should have been enacted years ago. Liberals, New Democrats and one Conservative called for further changes that would protect slngle women and other elderly in need and extend benefits to cover persons widowed more than six months. — An allowance of up to $301 is paid to pensioner's spouses who are between 60 and 65. It terminates six months after the pensioner dies, leaving the spouse without resources when it may be needed most. The bill will apply to spouses of pensioners who died during the six months before passage. . Tt will also ensure contin- uation of pensions and allow- ances should the partner receiving the allowance be sentenced to prison for more than 90 days, . Stanley Knowles, New Democratic House leader and a longtime crusader for better pensions, called the legistation discriminatory because it applies only to widows and not to single women. “They (ihe spouses) ge} a pension on-the basis of being able to answer the question: Have you got a man? Dead or alive, have you got a man?” Tory Gus Mitges (Grey- Simcoe) said his government could afford to be more Tagnanimous towards the elderly since twothirds of them have no pensions at all, He said the bili must be changed at least ta accom- modate all widows and widowers between 60 and 65 years old, External Affairs Minister Flora MacDonald described the bill as a Conservative promise fulfilled. “Jt ig symbolic in that it demonstrates that this government wil] tackle the problems of the elderly with vigor and compassion,” « Paul McCrae, Liberal member for the Ontario riding of Thunder Bay- Atikokan, said he waa em- barrassed that the previous Be prepared for oil hikes By PHILIP MAIL CALGARY <«(CP) — Provincial energy ministers were told Monday that Canadians should be prepared to:pay a $4 aniual increase in the price of domestic crude oll between now and 1983 if Canada is to be self-sufficient in energy by the end of the nent ; decade.

Alberta Energy Minister Mery Leitch said Oltawa news reports that Alberta and the federal government have already agreed to a $4- a-barrel increase for next year were speculative. government had not pro- vided these benefits. But he shared concerns ex- pressed by Liberal Rene Cousineau about the cost of the benefits program. Cousineau (Gatineau) asked how many jobs in other sectors and what other programs would have to be cut so the government could afford the $4.6 million for the benefits in the bill. Several opposition MPs talked about the value of having a guaranteed annual Income for those over the age of 40. Eudore Allard’ (SC—Ri- mouski), for example, said providing pensions or ‘in- come supplements for those over 60 would free nearly $00,000 jobs for younger Canadians and reduce the drain an the unemployment insurance program. “The ideal solutlon is undeniably a guaranteed annual income,” he said.
