% Ab Castlégar News January 27, 1988 PROTECTIONISM Paper Association, has opposed special subsidies when they are not generally available to the entire industry. FORCING END TO SUBSIDIES MONTREAL (CP) — U.S. protectionism is forcing the Canadian government to put its foot down and stop giving special subsidies to the pulp and paper industry, the chairman of the world's largest newsprint company said on Tuesday “The federal government is going to cease and desist giving capital grants for acity expansion and to rescue operations of sick (pulp and paper) milis;" Wbitibi-Price Inc. chairman Bernd Koken said at-a news conference. le ad special help for certain mills ‘which now are protected from U.S, competition by tariffs keeping out certain kinds of fine paper, boxboard and containerboard Those tariffs will fall over the next five years under the free-trade deal, Koken said. “There will have to be some form of adjustment program in hardship cases for mills which could other. wise be forced out of business,” Koken said. Koken added that regional economic expansion programs could continue to subsidize pulp and paper companies, as long as the aid was generally available to all rather than given on a case-by-case basis. SPONSOR INNOVATION He and other association officials said government help is also necessary to sponsor technological innovation. However, he said free trade, regional development and the need to encourage technological innovation will have the industry asking for more government help. Koken, who was in Montreal for the industry's annual trade show, indicated he has worked closely with the federal government in “devising policies limiting government help. The U.S. paper industry has threatened to ask its government for protection from Canadian exports if they come from mills which have received subsidies in the form of interest-free loans or grants. AGAINST GRANTS Koken, who is chairman of the Canadian Pulp and Oscar Strangeland, chairman of the pulp and news. print maker Consolidated-Bathhurst Inc., noted the federal government has already made provisions in the free-trade deal to help industries adjust to the open border. But Strangeland said in general aid should be available to everyone or no one. “We just announced a new $280-million project for Quebee,” he said. “The night before we announced it we applied to the feds. We said if grants end up being given to comparable projects, we want the same treatment.” If Consolidated-Bathhurst gets wind of help going to a rival, Strangeland said, “We'll hold a press conference at 8 a.m. — and we'll be screaming blue bloody murder.” EXPANSION continued from front page Mayor Audrey Moore pointed out that the surplus woodchip supply in the area is causing concern for some sawmill operators She said she had a telephone call She said Pope and Talbot ex from the Grand Forks mayor who said the managers of the Pope and Talbot sawmill in Grand Forks also support a mill expansion “or some other use” which would provide some assurance of a market their chips. pressed concern that its sawmill may have to cut back production if it can’t sell its chips to Celgar Council agreed to Moore's sug gestion to ask area sawmills and coun cils to also write letters supporting a mill expansion. Rogers also proposed a resolution for mill expansion go to the Association of Kootenay Boundary Municipalities. Deposit bill proposed WA (CP) The life savings of thousands of Canadians aren't covered by any kind of deposit insurance and Parliament is being asked to warn them NDP House Leader Nelson Riis told a news eonference Tuesday a private member's motion he made to make Canadians aware will be debated soon They need to know their savings are not necessarily protected in the event of failure by a financial institution like the collapse last August of the Principal Group in Alberta, Riis said The motion, if passed by the Commons, would urge the government to consider requiring anyone placing money in an uninsured account to sign a waiver from indicating they are aware the money isn’t insured Such a proposal would require the co-operation of the provinces. “The intent behind the motion is to alert Canadians that not all of the deposits that they make, or the financial instruments they purchase, are secured in the event of a bankruptcy of the financial institution,” Riis said Although most bank and trust company accounts have been insured up to $60,000 since 1967 by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corp., there are several types of savings vehicles not covered by the federal agency or anyone else. For example, life insurance companies in recent years haye been accepting cash deposits for registered retirement savings plans without any kind of consumer protection in the event of insolvency Longtime resident dies at age 84 daughter, Mona Haack of Castlegar passed away Jan.

The cash value of life insurance policies is not covered by any deposit insurance fund either, although the industry has been trying to organize its own guaranty fund for several years In some provinces, mortgage brokers, who are largely unregulated, have been accepting deposits in return for an extra high interest rate Also not covered by Canada Deposit are U.S.-dollar-de- nominated accounts, any kind of savings certificate with a term of more than five years or chequing accounts offered by some stock brokers. Riis said the long-term answer would be to make it illegal to take in uninsured deposits, but in the short term Canadians need to be warned by Parliament. Several hundred consumers in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia have complained to federal investi- gators that employees of Principal persuaded them to put their savings into uninsured investment funds instead of Principal Trust, which was a member of Canada Deposit. Riis said in several recent cases, many depositors were not insured. “This would ensure that unscrupulous financial advisers couldn't deceive Canadians, like those who were lied}to in the Principal Trust case, into believing that their-money is protected if in fact it is not.” CORRECTION Westar NOTICE RE: HOME SALE FLYER to get The following items will rebate not be available in our Home Sale Flyer: CRANBROOK, B.C.

But that angered the op- position and refugee-aid groups, which have been fighting the legislation since it was introduced last Aug ust. Bill C-84 would give the government sweeping pow- ers to detain and deport illegal immigrants and to turn ships away from Can- adian waters if officials be- lieve they are carrying people trying to enter Can. ada illegally Under the bill, Canadian church and human rights activists ean be prosecuted for helping refugees to enter Canada without valid docu. ments. Bouchard told the Com mons that Canada will con tinue to offer protection to genuine refugees, but “flag. rant abuse of the refugee claims system must stop.” Immigration Department officials say 80 per cent of more than 25,000 refugee claims made in Canada last yearpwere false.

Belczy By The Canadian Press LEUKERBAD, Switzerland — When the fog lifted Monday, Felix Belezyk had Canada's first Alpine World Cup super-giant slalom victory, and Italian Alberto Tomba, the sensation of the season, was in a race for the overall Cup lead. Belezyk, 26, of Castlegar, took advantage of a break in heavy fog when he started 32nd to win the race in one minute 51.20 seconds, edging Swiss favorite Pirmin Zur- briggen. “When I ran, the fog had moved toward the top of the hill,” said Belezyk of his first victory in four seasons on the World Cup circuit, adding: “But it wasn't as bad as for the first 20 or so, “Of course, it helped to have run the downhills before.” Belezyk has a reputation for not living up to practice results under race pressure. He was. ready to return home if Leukerbad proved a disappointment, but his coaches urged him “to go into the race like a practice.” “It's the first super-G ever won by a Canadian and, especially for Felix, it's fantastic,” said Canadian coach Heinz Stohl. “He's been working really hard for the last four years, but he could never get the whole thing together. “Now he's had two really good downhills and won a super-G. Things are really looking up.” Skiing in fog from his 10th spot in the starting order, Zurbriggen was 49 one-hundredths of a second behind Belezyk. Zurbriggen, ing World Cup F earned 20 points for the finish and cut Tomba's overall Cup lead in half after the Italian slalom star missed a gate in the fog. Heavy snowfall later forced organizers to stop the face after 79 of 110 starters had come down the course. Race officials said the event would count, with World Cup points awarded as usual. Belezyk gained more than half a second on Zur. briggen on the lower end of the same course on which he had finished fifth and fourth in downhill races over the identity. Another would have defined those who can be prosecuted for helping people to enter Canada illegally as those who “intentionally en courage false refugee claims or assist clandestine entry.” PS PHARMASAVE “In the Heart of Downtown Castlegar” 365-78 1 3 OPEN THIS SUNDAY! weekend. racers, was third in 1:51.85.
