Billions have been handed out

corporations, is being financed
by capital created by Canadian
workers. We are being taken
over by U.S.. corporations with
Canadian capital.

The Communist Party has de-
clared again and again that it
is not. opposed to state loans
from foreign countries. It is op-
posed to foreign ownership and
control of any part of . the
Canadian economy. It is Oppos-
ed to foreign ownership and
control. be it U.S., British, Jap-

anese, West German or from
any other country.

_To transform Canada into a
great industrial state requires
the Canadian control of the
main levers of the economy.
This involves a-sharp struggle
against monopoly. both domestic
and foreign. The transfer of

- control of key sectors of the

economy from U.S. corpora-

tions to Canadian corporations _

will not result in the industrial-
izing of Canada. It will not
solve the problem of regional
disparity. It will be jumping
from the frypan into the fire. ©

The program of industrializa-
tion can only be realized under
public ownership and democra-
tic control. The battle to over-
come regional disparity is an
integral part of the anti-mono-
poly struggle for Canadian inde-

pendence.

“Under cover of provincial

the government of Alberta and
of the Conservative Party, the

multinational corporations are-

out to achieve control - and
ownership of the Athabasca tar

Canada Suffers

“The Canadian people, the
Canadian economy and Cana-
dan independence, all suffer as
a consequence of government
failure to slow down and put an
end to U.S..ownership of oil and
gas in addition to other natu-
ral resources, all of them ir-
teplaceable resources which are
decisive for independent Cana-
dian economic development.

“The overall needs of bal-
anced Canadian economic deve-
lopment, require a fully integra-
ted all adian energy policy
directed to control resource use
and development. The adoption
of a fully integrated all Cana-
dian energy policy should be
based on nationalization of ener-
gy and natural resources under
democratic control, and their
utilization for the industrializa-
tion of Canada, the development
of the North with due regard to
ecology and through consulta-
tion and agreement of the Arc-
tic peoples and protection of
their interests, the building of
West-East power grids and oil
and gas pipelines, for a balanc-
ed all-Canadian development to
overcome regional under-deve-
lopment, including the building
of secondary industries, such as
the petro-chemica
alongside the sources of the
energy and natural resources.

l industry.

“Through consultation with

provinces agreements must be ar- ©

rived at to establish a Canadian
Petroleum and Energy Corpora-
tion. Such a Petroleum and En-
ergy Corporation should, in co-
operation with Alberta and Sas-
katchewan, develop the Atha-
basca tar sands and those in

Saskatchewan on the basis of.

public ownership under demo-
cratic control. Among its aims
should be security of supply of
gas and oil to all parts of Can-
ada at uniform prices. To ensure
security of supply West-East
pipelines should be built along
all-Canadian routes. Any effort
at raising prices, thereby assur-
ing additional profits to the
multi-national corporations, must
be rejected. If necessary, simi-
lar type Crown «Corporations
shoutd be established in the

Provinces.

The Decisive Link

“Qil or any other resource
must be considered a Canadian
resource and through federal-
provincial agreement developed

in the interests of Canada and -

-her people, and not for the pro-
fits of the multi-national corpo-
rations: The fight for a fully in-
tegrated all-Canadian energy

olicy is a decisive link in the
battle to achieve genuine Cana-
dian independence.

“while directing particular
attention at this time to the need
of nationalizing energy and na-
tural resources, the Communist
Party does not limit itself to
these immediate aims. It advo-
cates public ownership under
democratic control of big indus-
try, banks and credit system,
insurance companies, transpor-

tation and communications sys-

tems. This is a task a democra-
tic coalition government would
undertake and a socialist gOov-
ernment would complete.”
