B,v Jack Riddell, Huron MND[' located ' to the northeast of Edmonton. The Premier said t` the matter underdiscussion was whether, or riot the public interest and the interests of Ontario would be served by the early completion of the Syncrude Project, a project designed to extract synthetic oil from the Mildred 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 in this project when Atlantic Richfield Canada Ltd., one of the original participants with- drew. An agreement in principle has been reached on'a method of financing the Syncrude Project. It was established that the projected cost is $2 billion. Private enterprise will invest a total of $1.4 billion, the remaining $600 million will be shared by the Governments of Ontario, Alberta and Canada. Ontario is investing $100 million, Alberta $200 million and the federal government of Canada is investing $300 million. The Governments of Ontario, Alberta and Canada will, respectively hold 5 per cent, 10 per cent, and 15 per cent. The Companies in- volved will have 70 per cent. Alberta, besides investing $200 million directly, will in addition bear the cost of the pipeline . to transport the product to the market and will bear the cost of providing the needed electrical plant ,plus 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 Con- servation Board recently estimated that the sand may ultimately yield recoverable reserves of 300 billion barrels. At present oil consumption 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 five creased from $175 to $250 per cent investment in this monthly, and additional two billion dollar project monthly payments for would not rise to more than dependent children increased $100 million. He said the $10 to $70, with payments to Province' might be "into some orphans increasing to $80. sort of an open-ended raffle".

The speed could be half his real Minister . of Transportation speed; and red lights, such as and Communications intends tail •lights and flashing that there shall be no ex- warning signals, become almost imperceptable. During the debates of this Bill I commended the Minister 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 speed zone they are in and although this is just a very small aspect of . the _- overall bus safety picture statistics have shown that the most hazar- dous part of the journey a bus makes is the bus stops. 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 not include legislation covering the selection and training of schoolbus operators, an area which leaves much to be desired. Pat Reid, Liberal -Labour Member for Rainy River, asked the Chairman of the Management Board, Mr. Eric Winkler, to explain why a public relations officer in the Premier's office is getting paid $56,000. Mr. Reid is the Chairman of the Public Accounts Com- mittee of the Legislature, and was referring to information provided him last week that showed the Government was' spending more than $10.6 million on information and advertising services for its 26 ministries. The estimates of the Work- men's Compensation Board have been discussed in Committee. In 1973 there were some 418,438 on-the-job injuries, and benefit fit from the Board amounted to more than $186 million, an increase of $25 million (more than 11 er cent) over the previous year. Amendments to the Work- men's Compensation Act, which took effect July 1, 1973, raised the maximum on which compensation was paid to $10,000 annually, from the" previous maximum of $9,000, which 'continues to apply to all accidents occurring prior to July 1.
