When the Legislature reconvened _ after the sum- mer recess on Tuesday, the Premier made a surprise an- nouncement about the government's purchase, for $650 million, of a slice of Canada's oil industry, name- ly a quarter of the shares of American -owned Suncor Inc. which sells Sunoco gasoline. For 13 million common shares, the province is pay- ing $325 million in cash and a further $325 million - with in- terest - over ten years. It's estimated that the invest- ment will bring in an estimated $100 million a year, and give the govern- ment greater knowledge of developments in the oil in- dustry. Purchase money will come straight from the Pro- vincial Treasury, thereby in- creasing the government's budgetary deficit, already projected at $997 million for this year and forcing it to borrow more at an estimated additional cost of $100 million a year to -the tax- payer. Liberal Finance Critic, David Peterson, condemned the government for failing to go for control over Suncor's policies. "A minority purchase is not an effective instrument for public policy", he said. "There is more in this to meet the eye than meet the mind. The polls tell Mr. Davis that the public is for Canadianization so he is fool- ing them into thinking that's what he's doing." Gas Furnaces The Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, Gordon Walker advised Members of the Legislature this week that a warning let- ter was distributed to all gas furnace customers in On- tario. The Minister stated that residential gas furnaces equipped with certain White - Rodgers Valves may inter- mittently malfunction. The White -Rodgers Valves in question are in the Model 36 B series. They have been us- ed on gas furnaces manufac- tured by several companies. The companies in question are: Canadian Coleman Co. Ltd. (Coleman), Toronto, Ontario; Clare Brothers Ltd. (Clare Hecla), Cambridge, Ontario; Grimsby Stove and Furnace Ltd. (Grimsby, Modern, Homart, Sears, Pvreco and Roberts - PC's meet. . • from page 6 Nothing concrete came out of the discussion on interest rates, alt hough it was agreed food producers have been hit with an unfair proportion of high rates.

Co. Ltd., Tilburn, On- tario and The Coleman Co. Inc. (Coleman) Wichita, Kansas. The consumer is urged to contact a local heating con- tractor, the furnace manufacturer or White - Rodgers, if the valve is cod- ed 7630 to 7752, which means the valve was produced in 1976 or 1977. White -Rodgers will replace these valves at no charge to the consumer, according to the Minister. The Ministry has already notified heating contractors, furnace manufacturers, and gas utilities of this potential problem so that they can res- pond promptly to consumer inquiries. Walker said that his Ministry is committed to the basic principle that any costs imposed on the un- suspecting consumer should be borne by the responsible business or industry. Therefore, the Ministry ex- pects the industry through its own arrangements with -White-Rodgers and as _part of good customer relations, to absorb any furnace . in- spection charges and long distance collect calls for con- sumers who do have White - Rodgers valves in their gas furnaces. Interest Rates According to the Provin- cial Treasurer, record high interest rates in Canada will drop only when investors have enough confidence in the federal government to in- vest their money here. "I'm afraid we may have a made -in -Canada rate higher than it should be because of lack of confidence in the federal government," Miller told the Legislature. Opposition Members reminded the government that in the 1975 election, Premier Davis promised to enact a mortgage interest subsidy program. Mortgage rates at that time were far less than they are now, and stillthePremier has not kept his promise. Acid Rain The Leader of the Official Opposition, accused the government of sitting on a report for more than a year to avoid a crackdown on acid -rain producing sulphur dioxide emissions at Inco. The 100 -page document, dated October 15, 1980, was already near completion 'when the former Environ- ment Minister obtained a Cabinet Order in September 1980 to make Inco meet tougher emission levels in Sudbury by 1983. Dr. Smith asked, "Why has this report not been acted upon and why has it been kept secret when it states plainly that Inco could and should clear up to TO -800 tons a day by 1985 by the in- stallation of a new furnace?" Apparently, the report commissioned by the En- vironment Ministry, says pollution abatement equip, ment is now available to drastically curb Inco's emis- sions. camPaign *ending Premier Davis has in- dicated that he has no im- mediate plans to impose overall limits on election campaign spending. He has rejected Opposition criticism that the Tories bought their way back to power m this year's. election. Statements filed last month with the Commission on Election Contributions and Expenditures show the Tories spent $3.3 million in the election, the Liberals $1.2 million and the NDP about $620,000. Opposition Members charged that the 'massive amounts of money spent by the Tory party and its can- didates have helped subvert the democratic process. Theyl urged the government to consider amending the Election Finances Reform Act to impose overall spen- ding limits. +++ More Insects Of the roughly 1 million species of animal life, about 4 percent are those most familiar to man" vertebrates.
