GEORGE ASHE.IMPP PC -Durham West) Minitor of Enrgy e Ontario Hearing ordered! Undoubtedly you are famniliar with recent news reports on the proposed takeover bid by Unicorp Canada Corporation of Union Enterprises Limited. Full page advertisements, directed to Union shareholders, have appeared in our major daily newspapers giving the views of both parties in this issue. In'recent days, however, the government has received expressions of concern from Union Gas customers, both large and small, and also fromn many of the municipalities which have granted franchises to Union Gas. The focus of their concern is the apparent haste of the proposai and they have expressed considerable fear that a decision rnight be made without a full public review of the issues. Industrial customers of Union Gas in particular are seeking assurance that their interests and the public interest in price, service and reiiability not be jeopardized by the proposed transaction. The cabinet of the Ontario government has considered the offer of Unicorp Canada Corporation to the holders of common shares in Union Enterprises Limited, a widely-held public company whose major asset is its ownership of Union Gas. The cabinet is also fully aware of the concern and con- fusion felt by many of the shareholders who feel that more information is needed before a decision is made. As your M.P.P. 1 feel it is important to report to you that Union Gas plays a vital role as an energy supplier to the Ontario economny. It serves ap- proxmately 492,000 industrial and residential customers. It provides transmission services to TransCanada Pipelines Ltd. and other distributors including Consumers' Gas, Northern and Central Gas Co. and the Kingston P.U.C. Therefore, I have announced that, commencing March 19, 1985, the Ontario Energy Board will hold public hearings on ahl matters relating to the proposed takeover and will then report to Cabinet on the implications of the transaction for energy supply, rates and service. The Ontario Energy Board Act provides for hearings and approvals where ownership and con- trol of a public utility changes. The Board, therefore, must also consider whether the same regulations apply when a holding company changes hands. Union Enterprises has many thousands of shareholders, whereas 68 per cent of Unicorp is con- trolled by one person. The Ontario Securities Commission, which held six days of hearings on the subject, will not issue a cease-trade order despite the takeover bld made by Unicorp. The hearing, though important, had nothing to do with the utility's service. It was based on the ailegation of Union that the purchase by Unicorp of 4,500,000 common shares of Union were private agreements entered into at a time when Unicorp had formed an intention of making a sub- sequent takeover bid. The commission, however, ruled that the purchase did not constitute private agreements and it found no basis to cease-trade the subsequent offer.
