The idea behind the $15.1-billion fund was simple. It was a special savings account for money collect during a period of unusually high oil and gas prices. it has grown into more. Albertans take comfort in the fund and fear_ jealousy in other provinces. = In addition, there are signs t Conservative government permanent fixture. All the emotional content is being aired this month at the annual hearings of the Alberta legislature committee on fund operations. The fund is “unmatched in 4ny other civilized jurisdiction in the free world that I know of,” Treasurer Dick Johnston told the committee. It has “set the province apaft in a unique sense, provided a special security the people of Alberta enjoy and appreciate.” There are drawbacks, Johnston admitted. “When you have success you also have resentment.” CHARTS GROWTH The fund's rapid growth in the 1970s was what basically triggered the national energy plan, he said Jim Heron, the Conservative member for Stony Plain, suggested it may be time to stop showing as an asset the $2.4 billion the fund has spent on hospitals, parks, dams and other capital projects. That money is not available ) Showing it as an asset doesn’t help Alberta's calls for Thank You | wish to express my sincere thanks to all who supported me on representativés from soci-.for the workshop.

Bob Pakula federa! aid to the flagging energy industry, he said. Politicians and others in Central Canada don't understand how fragile the fund is, Premier Don Getty told the committee. “They continue to think we have this huge pile of money sitting somewhere under the legislature.” The Alberta government has kept many of the fund's operations under wraps. The fund's investment committee consists of the provincial cabinet, and the cabinet makes all its investment decisions in secret, informing the legislature afterward. The government has dithered for years on whether the fund is a major tool for economic diversification COMMISSIONS POLL The public also misinterprets. The government commissioned two polls on the fund a few years ago. I was shocked to find almost half the people surveyed thought the fund got its money from a gasoline tax — Alberta has not had a gasoline tax since 1979.
