Ontario Premier William

ding Canada, Sunday, he
closed it saying Clark was
too weak to stand up to elther
provincial gyvernments or
multinational corporations,

Trudeau also said in the
final speech that Clark has
been deing more fiips-flops
than a trampoline.

While the Tories nail

stepped embarrassing
Canadians with their style of
fovernment, Trudeau ad:
ded, they now are making
those same people angry.

Saturday, Trudeau told a
conference session that
Liberals should not be
ashamed of eriticizing the
Tories for doing things the
Liberal party did while it
was in power. Policies
change as situations change,
he said, referring to in-
creases in bank Interest
rates and oil prices.

But he added that although
party strategists knew
Clark's mortgage deduc-

 tibility plan would pull in

votes, they rejected it
because it wouldn't be right,

An unofficial but highly-
visible player in the weekend
conference was John Turner,
who quit the Trudeau cabinet
when he was finance
minister,

Although not scheduled as
-a speaker in any sessions,
Turner, touted by many as a
possible replacement for
Trudeau, was drawing ad-
mirers wherever he went,

Asked why the Liberals
lost the spring election,
Turner smiled and told a
reporter: ‘““You know as well
as Ido, but you aren’t going
to hear it from me.”

A key part ‘of Clark's
speech centered on energy.
Reiterating his gavern-
ment’s goal of making
Canada energy self-suf-
ficient by the 19s, he
emphasized that to allow
continued dependence on
forelgn oil would be to invite
disaster.

Centrak Canada's in-
dustrial strength, he said,
*eould be devastated if
foreign suppliers cut off
Canadian supplies.”

And he said Canadian in-
dustry must have at its
disposal a system of energy
delivery that will keep costs
lower than the costs to the
competition in the United
States,

Unless foreign energy
dependence is eliminated,
Canada will find itself in a
permanent game of catch-up
with other industrial
countries. To combat this, he
said, Canada must have
more conservation, more
domestic supplies, more
substitution of foreign
supplies and must make
itself a world leader in
alternative energy
development. .

“We're talking about an
energy policy that looks
beyond cll to other sour-
ces,,,that regards energy as
& great opportunity for
Canada,” he said.

“And it's dynamic in that a

Bendick said people prefer
to pay $50 for his three-hour

QUEBEC (CP) — Naon-
medical employces in at
least 64 of the approximately
200 hospitals in Quebec
began on an illegal strike
today, d¢arly reports in-
dicated,

Michel Cleroux, a
spokesman for the Quebec
Hospital Association, said
the figure was based on
partial reporis, and more
hospitals could’ be affected,

It was not immediately
known to what extent the
strike, by 63,0000 workers
belonging to the Con-
federation of National Trade
Unions (CNTU), affected
services at about 150 other
healthcare institutions,
including homes for the aged
and community clinics.

Neither union represen-

tatives nor government

Spokesmen were available
for comment.

The only confrontation re-
ported was at Notre-Dame
hospital in Montreal, where
police were called after
pickets tried to prevent non-
Strikers from entering the
building.

Two persons were arrested
— including veteran labor
leader Michel Chartrand,
former head of the CNTU’s
Montreal regional council.
Montreal -police spokesman
Mario D'Arcy said he did not

know what charges might be
laid.
Earlier, police had

escorted nurses through
picket lines at the Queen
Elizabeth Hospital in west-
end Montreal without in-
cident, It had been thought
earlier that the nurses might
refuse to cross picket lines,
although they are not
themselves on strike,
Marcel Gilbert of the
CNTU told reporters before
the walkouts began that
essential services would be
maintained. That means that
in some case — such as in
chronic-care facilities — up
to 60 per cent of workers
would remain on the job.
The CNTU workers were
the only members of the
200,000-member common
front of public sector em-
ployees who walked out in
defiance of = special
legislation suspending the
right to strike in the public
service,

Quebee Labor Minister
Pierre Marc Johnson called
on CNTU president Norbert
Rodrigue today to use hhis
influence to end the “Ir gal
“demonstrat.on'’ ~-- the
laber minister said it could
not be termed a strike,
because the right to strike
has been lifted.

Rodrigue said last week he
would support any union
members who walked off the
job,

Under the special law
adopted last week individual
strikers could face fines as
high as $100 a day and their
locals could be rapped with
fines of $1,000 daily for the
duration of the strike.

The law also applies to an-
other 75,000 public sector and
government employees.
They have decided to respect
the law, but some say they
may reconsider . if

negotiations go sour.

It was passed to head off a
legal strike by all members
of the common front, and to
prevent strike action by
provincial civil servants,
nurses and other health-care
professionals currently
negotiating with the gov-
ernment.

The walkout by the CNTU
workers, while QFL and
CEQ members stayed at
work, cast doubts on the
continued existence of the
common front.

“We're In bad shape; iet’s
face it," said Fernand
Daoust of the QFL, “It's a
question mark whether it
will still exist in a couple of
days,”

He said that in the seven
years the front has been
negotiating as a unit with the
Quebec government,
divisions have come up, but
they have been resolved.

About 59 per cent of the
CNTU social affairs
members voted to strike.
Spokesman Donatien
Corriveau said in a telephone

‘interview Sunday he couldn't

have called the strike off if
he wanted to.

“Within two weeks | would
no longer be with the FAS,
(social affairs department),
I'd be dead,” he joked.

Although early returns in-
dicated that GFL affiliates
opposed the strike, final
results were that 55 per cent
backed the illegal action.

It was called off, Daoust
explained, “because there
had been progress at the
bargaining table and it
should result in a set-
tlement."'

The issues standing in the
way of a settlement are job
security, job laad and wages,

The special law lifting the
Strike right specifies the
government must make its
final offers by Wednesday,
but the uniun side hoped its
strike threat would speed the
process up,

Daoust said that the job se-
curity and job load issues
were pretty well resolyed for
the QPL members and they
are waiting for a new money
offer.

Gilbert sid thet the twa
sides are enpauged in “ex.
ploratory” tallss on the
salary question.

Lengthy debate predicted
for mortgage-tax scheme

OTTAWA (CP) — Debate
on the Progressive Con-
servative mortgage interest
and property tax credit plan
gets under way in the
Commons this week, with
opposition MPs prepared to
dash government hopes for
speedy approval.

Both Liberals and New
Democrats say they are
entering the debate un-
deterred by warnings from
Government House Leader
Walter Baker that undue
delay could prevent the plan
from benefitting home-
owners this year. ~

The government wants to
start gradually introducing
credils of up to $375 a family
when taxpayers file their
1979 income tax forms. .

Baker says the tax credit
bill must be approved by
Parliament before the
Christmas recess,

But he could be hard-
pressed to get legislation
through before the budget’

speech Dec, 11 and the six
days set aside for budget
debate.

MPs could vote against the
bill outright, seek govern-

ment support for numerous
changes in the tax credit
plan or press for a clause in
the bill that would cause it Lo
lapse after four yvcars untess
renewed by Parliament.
