This week the second of our increases went into effect which will cost total $7 billion this year. Cana- dian produced crude oil in 1978 will cost nearly 500 percent more than it did in 1972 and natural gas 1000 percent more. Meanwhile Ottawa paid out $267 million in the month of October in unem- ployment insurance, up 30 percent over last year. The nine month period of 1977 showed that Imper- INCO and Continued countries looking for nickel. Hasn't anyone stumbled on the fact that our nickel is overpriced and the other countries looking for nickel are buying elsewhere. After working 30 years in the mining game as a miner and supervisor I have a few thoughts on the matter. With the vast ore bodies at Sud- bury and the ease with which they can be minéd, nickel should be produced very cheaply there. The cost of exploration at Sudbury is minimal and all the develop- ment is done in ore, hence it should be a very cheap oper- ation. Think of other mines $6.5 billion paid to the oil companies ended up being spent on exploration - the main reason being given for the increases. In spite of this, proven oil reserves had declined for seven years in arow. . Each dollar a barrel in- crease costs Canadians $15 billion for the presently proved remaining oil re- serves. The three already planned additional price increases will evently cost Canadians ANOTHER $45 billion. Total cost $60 BILLION. ) Adding insult to injury the oil companies and Al- berta keep pressing for nickel where exploration costs are high and all development has to be done in waste. Their costs are sky high. profits, high wages and high bonuses are probably what is shooting the costs up, allow- ing that everything else is inflated. The Sudbury oper- ation, with vast ore bodies and very easy mining should be able to compete in the world market. I think every- one concerned should quit blaming the government and sit down and take a hard look at what part they played in the product being priced so high they can't sell it.
