This week Premier Davis.
* reported to the Legislattire, on
the meeting in Winnipeg. With
representatives of 'the
Government of Alberta And
certain private', petroleum,
companies involved in • the
development of the reserves -of
the Athabasca-Oil Sands, located•
to the northeast of Edmonton.
The Pr Gllicr said the matter
under discussion was whether or
not the public interest and the
interests of -,,Ontario would be
served by the early completion of
the Syncrnde Project - a project
designed to extract synthetic oil
from theMildred "Lake site of the
Athabasca Sands at a daily rate of
125,000 barrels,
The Governments of Canada
and the Governments of
'Provinces were invited to
participate win this project when
Attantic Richfield Canada Ltd,
one of the original participants
withdrew.
Agreiment
An agreement in principle has
been reached on a 'method of
financing the Synerude Project. It
was established that the projected
cost of $2 billion. Private.
Enterprise will invest a total of
$1.4 billion, the remaining $600
will be shared by the
'Governments of Ontario, Alberta
and Canada, with our ProVince
investing $100 million, Alberta
investing $200 millidn '.rand ,
Canada investing $800 million.
The Governments of Ontario,
Alberta and Canada will,
respectively hold 5 per cent, 10
per cent, and 15 per cent. The
Companies involved will have
70%,
Albe'rta, besides investing $200
million directly, will in addition
•bear the cost of the pipeline to
transport; 4 the product to the
market aid will bear the 'cost of
provi1ing the needed electrical
pia& ailu's other' infrastructure
costs for an estimated total of
$600 million.
The Premier said that the oil
sands and heavy oil in Alberta
contain immense quantities of oil
the Alberta Energy 'Resources
Conservation Board recently
esti ated that the sand may
trltit atelY yield recoverable
reser es of 300 billion barrels. At
present oil consuoption levels
these reserves could supply
canada'S oil for centuries.
Mr. Robert Nixon. Leader of
the Opposition, , asked •the
Premier what assurances the
Government had that its 5 per
cent investment in thiS $2 billion
project would not rise, to more
than $100 million. He said the
Province might' be "into some
sort of an opAn-ended raffle".
Likence Lifted
This week in, the• Ontario.
Legislature .a law was passed that
will .-eirs u re that anyone • convicted
of impaired or criminally
negligent driving will be banished:
' from the roads in qntario for at
least three months. His, Ontario
licence will be automatically lifted
upon suit conviction. A second
offence within five,, years will
bring a six roonth suspension.
Afi'Yone driving while 'under
suspension will be liable for a
further six month suspension and
a $500.00 fine.
At present under the Criminal
Code, judges have some leeway
t on the matter of , licence
suspe'nsion. and sometimes
"restricted" • licences are
grant ed, permitting a suspended
driver to use a yehicle at certain
times of the day, accommodating
those 'whose livelihood depends
on being able to drive, such as
truck — drivers, travellig
salesmen. The Minister of
Transportation and
Communications intends that
there shall be no exceptions made
in future.

Egmondville, effluent' from
Clinton 3,300 population and
Vanastra 653 population. ' '
Questions outcommunity ,want
an answer for are: What. is
' 'ex pensive' ' in terms of updating
our existing plant that once
served 5,000?
Is growth controlled in Seaforth
and Clinton?
Why did the Ministry of the
Environment accept or approve
the operation of the systein
without forcing the developer
260303 Holdings" Ltd. of Kit
chener to update the present
sewage system before approval of
the subdivision.
Why this "about-face" by
government agencies?
The people of Vanastra and our
government body should have
some straight answers and
progress should continue.
Opposition
In opposition to the proposed
monthly rate increase by
Bluewater Cable T.V. Ltd. a
Consumer Alert Committee has
been formed.Residents at
Vanastra, when questiatied,
stated they are not pleaed with
the quality of the signal. The rate
increase would be $1.00 more per

During the debates °Nils Bill,
I commended the Ministet for
making some attempt to provide
more adequate legislation for the
safety of the children who travel
to and from school by schoolbus. I
commended him on the particular
legislation that traffic be required
to stop regardless of the soca'
zone they are in, and although
this is just zi very small aspect of
the overall bus .safety picture,
statistics have shown that the
most hazardous part of the
journty a bus makes is the bus
stops4,..More children are killed
crossing the highway to and from
the stopped bus than are killed as
passengers within the bus. I
stated I regretted the fact that
this bill did nbt include legislaiine
covering the selection and
training of schoolbus operators,
an area which leaves much to be
desired.

'The recent headline in the
Ar "London Free Press" "Sewage
System threatens Vanastra
growth" raises questions
concerning the future growth of
Vanastra, as well as the area in
the drainage basin of the Bayfield
River. •
A spokesman for the Ministry
of the Environment, John Bray, of
London stated we have reached
our limit at Vanastra of 100,000
1 gallons of treated sewage daily.
MarkBell, an engineer with the
Ministry, is quoted improvements
would be "expensive."
It is, rumoured that serious
negotiations are now in progress
for the • purchase of various
buildings in Vanastra, which
would be of tremendous benefit to
the community and the area.
it istdisturbing to think our hard
• work and progress at Vanastra
may be in jeopardy. Buildings
now erected and standing empty
could become a drain on present
taxpayers unless they are used
according to zoning by-laws.
• A smaller river, the Avon,
receives the effluent from S$
ratford's present population
25.000, with many industries and
plans for expansion to 40,000
population.
The Bayfield River is larger and
