Campagnolo (L—Prince -Rupert) said at a news conference the figures released Wednesday showing that the demand for oil and gas will increase by only one per cent by 1995 are lower than expected. Supporters of the pipeline, which would channel Alaskan oil from’ the proposed super-port at Kitimat on the British Co- lumbia coast to Alberta for supply to consumers in the United States, have predicted a growth of three per cent in oil demand. Campagnolo said she has always opposed the pipeline becguse of the threat of oil pollution in the waters around the Queen Charlotte Islands, a rich fishing area. Any major oll spill in the area would ruin its $300 maiilion fishing industry, she woman told reporlers thal he would “never, never, never” win. another election.

CHRETIEN: Blame OTTAWA (CP) — Finance Minister Jean Chrelien hit Progressive _ Conservative leader Joe Clark on two fronts Thursday—blaming him for contributing to the weakening dollar and for trying to lure volers with a Santa Claus plan for tax breaks on morigage payments. . He said al a news con- ference that Clark has contributed to the dollar's slide by shucking — in- ternational financiers with talk of a $18 billion deficit for Canada. The dollar was trading at aboul 84 cents on international muney markets Thursday. The minister, back only hours from a meeting of the International Monetary Fund in Washington, said he had been approached by foreign bankers and officials who wanted to know why there were rumors Canada's deficit would be $6 billion in excess of the government's estimates. Chretien has said the government's cash re- quirements will not exceed $11.8 billion. “hh... is extremely throw figures based un rumor like . that, around," Chretien said. ‘These things are taken seriously when the leader of the Opposition speaks.

Chretien, who had returned from a meeting of the Inlernational Monetary Fund in Washinglon, said he estimates the deficit at about $11.6 billion. Clark told a news cun- ference: “I think it’s in- credible for Jean Chretien after 10 year of Liberal government to blame the country’s econumic dil- ficulties un criticism by the oppusilion. “t's not the first time; A few years ago he blamed the weather, then he blamed (Premier Rene) Levesque and now he’s blaming me.” Clark challenged Chretien to clear up the confusion by immediately bringing down a budget accumpanied by a “full and clear statement" of Canada’s financial account. e details A ‘spukesman for King Hussein said the Jordanian monarch will visit the leaders of Saudi Arabia and other cunservalive Arab vii slales beginning Saturday. In withholding their support from the Camp David accords, Hussein and the Saudis have pointed in. particular to its failure to. guarantee a ful} Israeli pull- cut from ihe Palestinian- populated West Bank and Gaza Strip. Clark servatives base their $18- billion deficit estimate on public records for the. first five months of the year. “Mr. Clark has said the deficit, based on that trend, could run as high as $18 billion and that is perfectly accurate from the figures,” thespokesman said. “It is up to him (Chretien) lo prove we're wrong by coming up with accurate figures." On the mortgages issue, Chretien said servalive plan lo allow taxpayers to deduct up to $5,000 a year from income tax payments for mortgage inlerest costs and up to $1,000 a year for municipal property taxes would reward the rich and punish the poor. He also accused the Con- servative of misrepresenting the real cust of the program. Bur in spite of his denunciation, he said the department of finance has been louking into the possibility of making mort- fage interest payments tax deductible, as they are inthe United States, : The government, however, had rejected the idea as too custly and of little benefit to the poor. He acknowledged -there were advantages to Clark’s plan—it would stimulate the construction industry, create jobs and increase the country’s housing stock. “But the benefits would be insufficient to justify the prugram. ‘Incredible’ He also suggested that Prime Minister Trudeau find “someone better, even in the decimated ranks of the Liberal party,” to take over as finance minister, Clark alsu promised a full defence today against Chretien's criticisms of Conservative proposals to allow Canadians to deduct mortgage interest payments and municipal property taxes from their federal income taxes.
