‘Lid Shortage
to Continue —

»Nictoria - The Henourable
Phyllis Young, Minister of
Consumer Services, today
announced completion of her
department’s report on the
shortage of wide mouth canning
lids in British Columbia.
- Ms, Young commented that
the report is. brief and. covers
e issues as she sees them, .°
“Three basic,factors ‘have
created . an. ‘international
shorlage of lids. Firstly, ctn-
sumers, hoping to ease «the
impact of, food inflalion, have
increased greally their demand.
for canning supplies, bul have
been unable to obtain adequate
amounts, of canning fitting.
Secondly, canning — alid-
manufacturers face.’ the
dilemma of a hqufant market -
for their product, on the. one —
hand, and relatively fixed and
consLraining allotments of tin
plate from steel producers on
the olher. Finally, ‘steel
producers, while facing un-
precedented demand for lin -
plate, are hampered in meeting:

_ has been particularly hard hit

possibility of encouraging

er

the market because of lithited
plant capacity.” . Ms. Young
added that ‘British Columbia

because. home canners have
relied almost exclusively upon
American suppliers. With
soaring demand for canning
fittings in the U.S., these sup-
pliers haye turned te their home
markets first," .
' Beeause. the supply of tin
plate is severely limited at the
present lime, there is little
chance of immediate demands
for filtings being met. ‘‘Tintend
.to explore with the Minister of
Economic Development and the
Federal Minister’ of Consumer
‘and: Corporate Alfairs, the

Canadian steel companies to
divert ~ some . production
capacity to fin plate
manufacture. .1 also intend to
examine the feasibility of
Canadian self-sufficiency in the
production of canning. supplies
{o prevent a recurrence of this
problem.” - .
