Ottawa Repo By Norm Cafik, M.P. 'tii'-,. There is an economic incentive for United States oil importers to participate in the "swap" arrangements because transporting Canadian oil through pipelines to Chicago is less expensive than bringing oil in tankers from the Middle East. Recently, Canada concluded import agreements with Mexico which is a country emerging as an exporter in its own right. This agreement will provide long-term security for Canada as a result of the Iranian shortage. Business girls enjoy curling The Business -Girls of the Whitby Curling Club hosted clubs from Beaverton, Leaside, Gulph, Peterbo- rough, Oshawa and many other clubs at the Annual "Mountain Doin's" Club Bonspiel.

ENERGY SUPPLIES EMERGENCY ACT 1979 The continuing uncertainty in the Middle East, particularly in Iran, is causing concern throughout those countries which rely on oil shipments for fuel and energy needs. In the hey-day of the Iranian oil industry, Canada imported 100,000 barrels a day or just under twenty per cent of its needs from Iran. When the Iranian political crisis developed to its peak about four months ago, Canada had to call on its oil reserves. Canada is part of an international agreement know as The International Energy Agency, set up in 1974 by sixteen oil consuming countries. There are now nineteen members in the group. Under the Agency's agreement with these countries, minimum emergency oil reserves must be maintained. An emergency oil sharing system for the fair distribution of oil supplies among the member countries is a key component to the agreement. Each country is required to create a domestic oil sharing organization. The Energy Supplies Allocation Board - under the Energy Supplies Emergency Act 1974, lapsed in 1976. Therefore, the Government was required under the interna- tional agreement to reconstitute the Board. Therefore, the Government re-introduced the Energy Supplies Emergency Act 1979 last week. Shortages of petroleum can occur not only as a result of disruption in supply due to political events overseas, but can also occur because of natural disasters, technical failures, strikes and embargoes. The legislation will authorize the Cabinet to appoint a seven member Supplies Allocation Board. This Board would be able to make regulations dealing with emergencies as they might arise. The Board would be.able to settle such questions as prices and the distribution to those regions in Canada which would be affected by emergency regulations. The Board would also be able to impose rationing of petroleum. An immediate concern of the Government has been the fact that Exon Corporation in the United States, because it was denied Iranian oil, began diverting twenty-five thousand barrels per day of Venezuelan oil that was destined for Eastern Canada from its Canadian subsidiary, Imperial Oil Limited. The Canadian Governinent has now been assured by Venezuela that it will provide to Imperial Oil a secure source of petroleum. Other companies that have been receiving oil from parent companies are being affected by varying degrees as a result of the Iranian crises. If it is necessary, under the emergency legislation, crude oil rationing could begin in seven days. Gas rationing for cars would require three to six months' notice. Energy Minister Gillespie says that the present situation boosted Canadian oil sales to the United States in return for re-routed United States imported oil to Canada to make up any shortfall created by the slow-down of Iranian oil industry. These "swaps" to the Eastern Canadian ol refineries benefited mostly the Maritimes and Q uebec.
