S7E(PC -Ontario) The energy question The.last few days ini the House of Commons have seen a hectic and emotional emergency debate over the death of the Alsands mega-energy project. Until last February, Alsands was' consortium of eight companies which was going to produce syn.. tbetic oil from the Aiberta tar'sands. It then, sud- denly, became a crippled giant when five of the eight pulled out because ot political and.economie uncertainties. The only companies whe could afford to hold on were the multinationals Sheil and Gulf and the government's Petro-Canada. And now Alsands is just a memory. Even the big guys had to give Up. My party forced an emergency debate on the issue because Alsands represented Canada at its best. It was a huge.projeet tackling a huge task. $13.5 billion alone would have been spent directly. M'ore than 6,000 construction jobs would have been created where none were before. The multiplier effect on the Ontario economy would have been tremendous. Cautious economie estimates projected two jobs created indirectly for everyone in Aberta. Our truck and machine pro- ducing industries would have received a much needed boost. Ontario's steel production facilities - presently operating at 50 per cent capacity - would have been working overtime. From the very beginning the project was bold and risky. Sophisticated technology was required.

The scope, the sklll, the innovation and the technology demanded by Alsands could all have become symbolic for what Canada can accomplish when it chooses to use ils potential. Alsands is one of several mega-energy projects which have been cancelled or postponed. 0 f the 16 major projects on the boards three years ago, il are now tottering towards the grave or .are deadý and buried. The government's National Energy Program and accompanying etéonomic recovery plans are now in tatters. Our goal of energy self- sufficiency (Alsands would have produced 140,000 barrels of crude a day) must again be delayed. The tragedy is that Alsands was inches away from being activated two years ago. Chalk up another "victory" for Marc Lalonde and his NEP. ROOF' SPECIAL
