ROBARTS TORONTO (CP)--Ontario no longer will accept federal pol- icy decisions affeeting the prov- inces. without prior consultation Pramier Roharts said. Friday. In a major speech to Ontario- Quebec newspaper editors, he delivered what was perhaps his strongest statement on Ontar- io's place in Confederation since he became head of the provincial government four years ago. His 3,500-word address ful- filled a promise he made if the presence of Premier Lesage of Quebec Thursday to delineate more clearly Ontario's position in Confederation. _ VIEWS OUTLINED Mr. Robarts made these points: 'NO MORE BLIND AC --Ontarioans are Canadians first, who recognize that goals of Canadians in other provinces may differ from their own; _--The Ontario governs mont believes the future of Confed- eration rests in the reconcili- ation of the varying points of view; --Ontario,. like Quebec, de- sires constitutional changes; --Ontario, with one-third of Canada's population contri- buting to Ottawa almost 50 per cent of its direct taxes, cannot take positions that would endanger Confedera- tion; Ontario recognizes the fed- eral government must main- tain control over the national Sei & economy, but seeks a greater _share of national revenue; ~The Ontario government no longer will ,accept federal policy decisions affecting the provinces. without prior con- sultation; a "Ontario does not believe the government of Quebec in any way represents the interests ef French-speaking residents of other provinces. ; DISCUSSES CHALLENGE The main challenges to con- federation, Mrz. Robarts said, are a ifew division of revenue between the provinces and the federal government; the dosire of the provinces to control their own economic development, and the question of bicultural- ism. fEDT He stressed Ontario's dissat- isfaction for existing tax-shar- - ing agreements and said "diffi- cult and searching negotia- tions' are in store when Ot- tawa sits down with the ances a acer fo svork out a new arrangement, rd Provincial revenues were in- adequate to maintain services that must be provided by the provinces under the existing di- vision of responsibilities be- 'tween the federal and provin- cial governments. . Mr. Robarts said Bntario still recognizes that the federal gov~ ernment has the right to make equalization payments among the provinces in order to main- tain national standards in all parts of Canada,' Pligg? respects the prim- of the federal government in Pie field of economic policy for the benefit of the whole country," he said, ; He | said the people of Ontario wou go 2 lone wav to recog- nize the special status of .Que- bec in terms of language and culture, but they could not ac- cep! a federal system that was not need on a single pelianat economy. Mr. Robarts said Ontario still need for economic consultation. ~ No longer would Ontario ac- "any policy decisions made by the federal govern- ment that affect matters under our jurisdiction unless we have been extended the common courtesy of prior consultation," Dealing with 'constitutional amendments, he said no change to the British North America Act should violate" Quebec's special. status. The crux of the problem fac- ing Canada's two main culturat groups was their inability w communicate with each other, Mr. Robarts said. He labelled communications "the key to = future of the Canadian na- ion."' And he delivered this mes- - sage to Quebec for a starter: "We do not find ourselves in agreement with the propositien that the Québec government in any way represents the inter- ests of French-speaking Cana- dians living in bed other prov- ince of Canada. ANCE OF OTTAWA'S DECISIONS'.

Ontario is convinced the provincial economy exists as a ae of the national economy. "If you accept the that provincial governments must have beer over 'eens policy to pursue the ment of 10 different sternal economies, then it becomes only a matter of time until Canada exists merely as a political sys- tem without the sinews of a na- tional economy to weld it to- gether as a whole," he said.

He argued that the extras included in the public, George Burt, United Auto Workers union Canadian director said Friday.

He said a standard car's re- GM PRICE-CUT INSULT duced price actually has only dropped an average of $2 a car when it should have drop- ped by at least $100. "Anyone who knows any- thing about car pricing in North America, knows that General Motors sets the pace. -- BURT So the $2 per car is what the industry will rebate the Cana- dian taxpayers for the $50,- 000,000-a-year bonanza which our government is giving the companies under the Canada- U.S. auto trade agreement."

Joseph Grills, Local 1817 presi- dent, said, "This new contract acceptance by the men shows that the negotiating committee's statement to the company was correct.
