24 ‘Terrace Review — — Wednesday, January 28, 1987 Objections lodged — against CP Air sale” The Canadian Trans- “port Commission. (CTC) has accepted for con- sideration three objections filed against the recent purchase of Canadian Pacific Airlines by Pacific Western Airlines (PWA), according to a represen- tative for PWA. . Ruth Montgomery, a public relations officer at PWA’s Calgary head- quarters, stated in an in- terview Jan, 23 the objec- tions have been submitted by the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks (BRAC), the In- - ternational Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) and the Canadian Association of Consumers (CAC). The deadline for filing complaints with the CTC was Jan. 19. Montgomery said the BRAC submission argues the acquisition of CP Air by PWA will “unduly restrict competition’’. The Storm objection from IAM fore- casts a reduction in employment and disloca- tion and disruption of workers associated with both airlines, she said. The CAC document was put together by a panel of economists. In it they predict the ‘‘duo- poly” of Air Canada and PWA-CP Air will sup- press competition, but the analysis goes on to state that the merger should be allowed to go ahead with specified changes. Mont- gomery said one of the changes suggested would allow foreign airlines to operate domestic routes within Canada. In its response to the objections, PWA has - argued that its purchase of | CP Air is preferable to the alternative, a buy-out by Air Canada. ‘‘Our feeling at PWA is that with this combination we can offer realistic competition to Air Canada,’’ Montgom- — brews over marina TERRACE — Kitimat and Terrace directors on the. Kitimat-Stikine Regional District board appear to be firmly en- trenched in opposing posi- ‘tions on the future of the MK Bay Marina in ’ Kitimat. At the January meeting of the regional board Kitimat directors Joanne Monaghan and Bev Rod- rigo stated their municipal council’s- view that the regional district should continue to operate the facility; director Jack Talstra responded on be- half of Terrace council by saying, ‘“‘I have instruc- tions from my council not to spend one cent over our statutory obligations.’? Terrace director Ruth Hallock remarked, ‘‘Kiti- mat has broken unanimity . on this function, but Ter- race is dug in equally deep on the other side of the fence.”’ The marina, located Watch fer Information regard- Ing body bullding by Dick LaDouceur In the Feb. 9 edi- tion of the Northwest Star. near Kitimat at the head of the Douglas Channel, has consistently run a deficit during the years of operation by the regional district. An engineering study commissioned in 1985 criticized the. design and state of repair of MK Bay on several points. Rebuilding the marina or’ re-establishing it at an alternate location were costed out at a minimum $445, 000. Rodrigo informed the board that a small craft harbor feasibility study is currently under way in Kitimat, and Monaghan argued that if the sale of MK Bay were to interfere with possible port devel- opment in Kitimat the im- pact would be felt in Ter- race as well. The board voted to tender a proposal for con- tracted operation of the marina after the expiry of the present agreement at the end of March. Ad- ministration was in- structed to language in the tender to accommodate the possi- bility of the marina being sold during the term of the contract, Kitimat and Terrace directors agreed to meet and discuss the issue, but no date was set. In a subsequent inter- view, regional district treasurer Lucy Wood in- dicated Terrace paid $18,471, about 19 percent, of the marina's operating costs in 1986. Kitimat paid 66 percent, and the bal- ance came from taxpayers in regional district elec- - toral areas C and E. incorporate | ery said. She pointed out . _that Air Canada’s present share of the domestic fly- ing market is 60 percent, and the combined re- sources of PWA and CP Air total 37 percent. Many foreign. airlines, she said, have much larger assets than Canadian car- riers and often have much lower operating costs. The -ability of such airlines to undercut existing domestic companies, she conclud- | ed, could have a serious and adverse effect on both Air Canada and PWA. A decision on the objec- tions is expected within days because the CP Air - - purchase becomes final Jan. 31, Eileen Birkedal (left) won a bottle of Crown Royal with glasses In a complimentary package | during the travel night social held at the Terrace Hotel recently.
