The Treasurer of Ontario, Frank Miller, has conceded that the effect of Alberta's action in providing tax breaks to oil compapies may not be in the best interests of all the Provinces, but said the federal government was mostly to blame. He maintained that Alberta's move is the result of its fight with Ottawa over the allowance of royalties charged against operating costs. The Federal Government has refused to permit com- panies to deduct from federal taxes royalties paid to Alberta, and that province has responded by allowing companies based in Alberta to deduct royalty payments on oil and gas productions from the income on which they pay provincial taxes. The Treasurer has stated that Ontario is not in a position to grant such an incentive. Shell Canada Ltd. and Imperial Oil Ltd. of Toronto have established Calgary -based sub- sidiaries which will handle their natural resources activities. General administration, refining and marketing will continue to be the responsibility of theToronto head office. Gulf Oil Canada Ltd. is also considering whether it will consolidate some of its operations in Calgary to take advantage of the incentives. When Liberal Leader Stuart Smith asked the Treasurer to protect Ontario against what he called Alberta's "somewhat un -Canadian attitude'," in enticing away Toronto based oil companies, the Treasurer said he should look to Ottawa. "I would suggest that the Federal Government is trying; perhaps un- successfully, to interfere with the resource ownership the provinces currently have." He told the Legislature the by-product of Alberta's action is that it become profitable for oil companies to move (sometimes mostly on paper) their operation from Ontario. The Treasurer in- dicated that he is sym- pathetic to the oil com- panies, and "if I was a president I'd do the same thing." However, estimates of revenue lost in cor- poration taxes because of the move range from $25 million to $50 million. CONTROVERSIAL PHONE CALL Government and op- position members of the Ontario ' Legislature's justice committee disagreed sharply on whether former Ombudsman Arthur Maloney should be allowed to cross-examine witnesses during an in- vestigation into the controversial phone call made by former Solicitor - General George Kerr to a Crown prosecutor. The committee has adjourned until next week without making a decision. Mr. Maloney is representing Mr. Kerr, the former Solicitor - General, in the com- mittee's inquiry in the propriety of the call to an assistant Crown attorney about a court case in- volving a constituent. The Attorney General, Roy McMurtry, told the Committee that to grant Mr. Kerr the right to counsel without allowing. the counsel to cross- examine witnesses Is unfair. "This is a very serious matter and to suggest that this is not in the nature of a trial is ab- solutely ludicrous", he said. However, Liberal Margaret Campbell and NOP's Patrick Lawlor argued that giving a lawyer the right to cross- examination in 443m- rittee would in effect turn to page 5A I r .
