Federal Socreds hold balance —

OTTAWA (CP) — The tiny
Social Credit Party caucus
willbethecentre of attention
once again Tuesday night
when the third non-
conjidence motion of the
current session comes to a
yote in the Commons.

The five-man group helped
carry the minority
Progressive Conservative
government through two
similar votes last month.

As a spokesman for party
leader Fabien Roy put it Fri-
day: “Who would govern if
the government is turned
down?”

Tuesday’s debate in the
Commons has been set aside
for debate of a subject of the
Liberals' choosing. The
party is expected to renew
its attacks on the govern-
ment’s energy policies.

The debate will conclude

with a non-confidence
motion written in a manner
that will easily win the

support of the 2¢-member'

New Democratic Party.

However, the spokesman
for Roy said Social Credit
MPs could wel) wait until the
last minute before deciding
how to vote,

“It depends on the text of
the motion, and it will

depend on the caucus at that
time,” he said,

Prime Minister Joe Clark
still remained optimistic
about hig chances when he
returned Sunday from a trip
to Newfoundland.

He said he was “not
particularly worried’' about
the outcome of the vote,
adding: |

“I think the people want a

government that governs
rather than another elec-
tion.”’

All his party members
would be ready and waiting
for the vote, he said,

Tuesday's vote seems
certain to be a close one,
since all parties have put out
the word to members to be in
their seats, .

Two seats in the 282-seat
Commons are vacant, and

Co-operation was Clark's message

By ED WALTERS

GANDER, Nild. (CP) —
Prime Minister Joe Clark
brought his mesaage of co-
operation with the provinces
to a weekend Progressive
Conservative meeting here
and it fitted neatly with some
of the things Premier Brian
Peckford talked about.

The two leaders were the
main attractions at the
annual convention of the
Newfoundland PC party
attended by more than 600
delegates.

One important area yet to
be seltled between
Newfoundland and Ottawa —
the province's desire for
shared jurisidiciton in the
fishery — was referred to by
both Clark and Peckford.

Clark said in a apeech the

matter could be worked out
in a commonsense fashion.

Peckiord said Newfoun-
dland is happy with Clark’s
commitment to allow the
province uncontested
ownership of undersea oil
and natural gas.

“The great challenge for
us {s to have the flahery left
long after oil and gas is
gone,” the premier said,

Peckiord sald many New-
foundlanders have an inborn
feeling of reliance on the
fishery which has its roots in
the first catches taken soon
after the island was
discovered in 1497. He said
Newfoundlanders feel they
own the fish around the
island and Labrador, The
fishery would remain the
lifeblood of the communities

despite anticipated riches
from offshore all,
“We want the resources
near our shore developed by
us and for us." Peckford
said, After that, Newfoun-
diand would be ready to
share its wealth with the rest
“The peovin is seeking
e province a
form of shared jurisdiction
with Ottawa over fisheries
policy, Existing law gives
the federal government total
control. Newfoundland
wants the authority to have
what Peckford’s aides call
“ earamount input’? into
some areas of policy.

A Peckford spokesman
sald the word ‘fight’ would

be too strong to describe the |

continuing discussion bet-
ween the federal and
Newfoundland governments
but admitted some strong
views already have been

exchanged.

In referring to offshore
minerals Clark sald: “I want
to encourage Newfoundland
to find your own future,’

Clark reiterated hia view
that Newfoundland and other
provinces should have the
freedom {fo govern thelr own
resource developments,

He proper planning as
envisaged by his govern-
ment will make Canada self-
sufficient in energy by 1990.
The Liberala wanted to allow
Canada to drift into
dependence for oll on un-
stable forelgn sources,

“Our way is to build upon

the energy potential of this
country.”

Clark's plans for helping
Tory candidate Walter
Carter in the campaign for

the Nov. 10 federal
byelection in Burin-St.
Georges were folled by poor

flying weather. The prime
minister tried twice to reach
towns on the Burin peninsula
225 kilometres south of
Gander but each time the

aircraft were forced to
return,

Before returning to Ottawa

the ceremony of being

“Screeched In,” by Peck-

ford,

Clark appeared aurprised
when a rum keg was brought
along after a convention
breakfast. He managed to
down the glass of Screech, a
Newfoundland rum, prof-
fered by Peckford.

SASKATOON (CP) — Ed

Roy, attending a meeting

Broadbent said no one

Advances in the field of
