Concern about energy ICY JACK RIDDELL M.P.P. We. are, of course, all becoming increasingly concerned about the cost of energy in Ontario. Prime Minister Clark's agreement in Tokyo to permit massive increases in oil prices could cause useven more problems in this connection. Premier Davis has responded with some proposals of his own. In August, he released a paper ' entitled, "Oil Pricing and Security: A Policy Framework for Canada". Behind that bland title Turks some shocking news for Ontario residents. The document is based on the premise of a $5 increase in the price of crude oil, occurring almost im- mediately. The document notes the detrimental effects of a $5 increase on the Ontario economy, and proposes the establishment of a fund, the National Energy and Employment Adjustment Program. What would be the effect of a $5 increase on the ordinary consumer in Ontario? It would add $120 to the average home heating bill. It would add 16 to 25 cents per 'gallon at the gas pump. What would be the effect of a $5 increase on . o economy as a whole? "According to the Conference Board in Canada, • Ontario's economy is already extremely precarious without massive energy price hikes. A- growth rate of 0.7 percent is predicted for Ontario in 1980, compared to a 4.6 percent for Alberta. The jobless rate is expected to jump 7.5 percent. It is estimated that an increase - of only $1 a 'barrel in oil costs would eliminate about 4,000 jobs in Ontario. According to a study undertaken by the Ontario Treasury in 1976, an increase of $2 would have significant negative effects and would damage the competitive position of fourteen major industries, aC- counting for 180,000 -jobs. An increase of $5 a barrel would clearly throw our already faltering economy into a full scale recession. Who gets the additional money from higher oil prices? If the proceeds are divided in the current manner, most of the revenue goes to the oil companies and the producing provinces. A massiV,e price increase would be necessary if the federal government is to obtain sufficient revenue to maintain a uniform price for oil across Canada. • Premier Davis has proposed that Alberta, the federal government and the petroleum in- ' dustry keep . their respective shares of the first $2 of his $5 increase and that the revenue from the remaining $3 be placed at the disposal of a National. Energy and Employment Adjustment Program, which would then be used, amongst other things, to do some ....patchwork repairs on an Ontario. economy which had been severely damaged by the $5 in- crease. According to the provincial government's own estimates, ,a $2 in- crease in the well:head price of oil would mean increased revenues of $1.96 billion per year to the producing provinces, the oil and gas industry and the federal gover- nment, in the proportions of $880 million, $840 million and $240 million respectively. If even $2 of the revenue from a price increase is divided in the same way,.we would still be faced with increased oil prices of $4 to $5 a barrel. We, in the.
