Huron MPP, Jack Riddell, again confronted the Minister of Energy, Darcy McKeough, on the ever-increasing cost of fuel oil and its effect on the, consumer„... Mr, Riddell told the Ontario Legislature that he had done dell:. deplor quite a bit of research on the subject in an attempt to "separate the wheat from the chaff”, and vyas trying to establish whether or not the government should establish some kind of energy policy. In examining the reasons the Huron -Perth Presbytery oil companies gave for the recent, fuel price increase, ,Mr. Riddell concluded that the rise is both unjustified and un- necessary. He stated that the fact that the Minister of Energy's policy of doing nothing with regard to, domestic fuel price increases is inexcusable. He added that all the reasons offered by the oil 'producers only support the need for a stronger government control over prices.

HUTCHINSON APPLIANCES TRADE INS ACCEPTED 308 HURON RD, 524-7831 as producing provinces, Alberta, Saskatchewan and" British Columbia, approximately $1.6d a barrel more. Of this• $1.60 the federal government receives between /0 and 30 cents for ad- ditional corporate income tax, leaving 60 to 70 cents net in- come for the companies. Mr. Riddell said he cannot accept the oil companies' alleged heed for this extra income. He also does not feel that their claim of extra costs,fgr ex-, tploration incentives is justifiable. He pointed ouLthat the industry would not pour the millions of dollars' into oil discovery if they did not expect to reap the profits from the new fields. Re also felt • that the price. of oil found in these new fields should not bear the cost of exploration unless the in- dustry - can show that their financial predicament merits it. He was quick to add that their published profits did not. The oil companies have suggested that the risk of ex- ploration combined with the huge expense. it generates justifies a price increase. Mr. Riddell .argues that the risk in oil explorationis no greater than in • any other area - of development. He also suggested ways the industry could subsidize thei efforts without burdening the consumer. He recommended that- the various firms pool their resources in the discovery - operations to offset- costs of vin - rice, successful ventures against production income. He also proposed financing the search for new fields by issuuig new stocks or bonds. - In the light of the oil com- panies' forecasts for' production in the remainder of the decade Mr. Riddell questioned ,their timing in the, price hike. Both the larger firms claim that current production rates will assure supplies until 1980. The question brought up by the Huron _member was whether the increase `fs needed% now or whether it is designed to offset exploration costs. If the latter,is found true, Mr. Riddell again stressed the government's duty -to intervene in the inflationary trend and stop the rise in price to the con- sumer.
