Head of commission
colorful nationalist

OTTAWA (CP) — The man who
will head Canada’s new federal
commission on national unity reacted
with cynicism, then profound skep-
ticism when Prime Minister Brian
Mulroney asked him to take on the
job.
But Keith Spicer said he’s getting
more optimistic about the task.
“The outcome is entirely dubious
and there is a very high Potential for
fiasco,’’ Spicer told a news

and an entertaining, informal person
who invited CRTC underling to
call him Keith.

An aptly named man, Spicer is a
self-described ‘‘hell-raiser’’ who has
never been accused of being dull.
He’s not afraid to speak his mind,
peppering his conversations with
quotations from French philosophers
and historical figures.

He has had a diverse career, in-

radio

ce after stepping down as

cluding
and host and

Broadcasters ‘“‘are our society’s
main door to dialogue,’” he told the
Canadian Association of Broad-
casters this week.

Mulroney made clear the com-
mission's mandate will include more
than French-English relations. It will
also study native and multicultural
relations.

But Spicer has a somewhat mixed
reputation on multiculturalism.

Some ethnic groups opposed his

of the Canadian Radi: ision and

Telecommunications Commission.

“And with prospects like those,
who could resist such a job?”

Spicer is widely regarded as a
strong nationalist, an avid con-
noisseur of French culture, a

defender of bili

tator, author, editor of
The Ottawa Citizen and Canada’s
first commissioner of official
languages in the 1970s.

One of his biggest accomplishmen-
ts as languages commissioner was
helping set the wheels in motion for
Canada-wide French immersion
courses for children.

After seven years in that gover-
nment post, Spicer said his CRTC
job was intellectually demanding but
not overwhelming.

“This is not a very stressful job,”’
he said in a September interview.

In little more than a year at the
CRTC, Spicer has never passed up
an opportunity to tell broadcasters
they are the conduit through which
French and English Canada may
speak with each other.

Spicer and two other com-
missioners said the licence should
have gone to a black-dance station
since there are some 200,000 blacks
in Toronto and no station to focus
on their music.

“I think this is particularly sad

Canada needs to embrace, not
ignore, left-out groups, and thereby
foster a broader spirit of shared
nationality,’’ he wrote in his dissen-

Spicer portrays himself as an in-

material is books on architecture and
philsophy. But he also admits to
liking mindless spy novels.

Lumber deal still stands

U.S. resisting bid
for renegotiation

WASHINGTON (CP) — Canada
‘appears to be getting nowhere in its
attempts to get the United States to
rewrite a controversial Canada-U.S.
softwood lumber deal.

For more than a year, Canadian
government officials have privately
urged the U.S. to renegotiate the
four-year-old agreement, which aver-
ted a disastrous lumber trade war in

Representative Carla Hills said while

resisted any attempts to change the
pact, which has helped cut Canada’s
share of the American lumber
market.

Ottawa is still consulting with the
Canadian industry on the issue. But
should it make a formal request of
the Americans, it appears highly
unlikely the U.S. would agree to
reopen the pact to provide better
terms for Canada.

“The lumber agreement is working
well, and there is absolutely no
reason to change it,’’ Kip Howlett,
chairman of the U.S. Coalition for
Fair Lumber Imports, an industry
lobby group, said Thursday.

American industry dead set against
such a move.

“This is a controversial issue in
Canada, but it’s also pretty conten-
tious down here and I can’t see why
we would ever agree to reopen that
can of worms," the adviser said,
requesting anonymity.

Members of Congress from lum-
ber-producing states, worried about
mounting Canadian pressure over the
softwood issue, have also urged the
administration to resist attempts by
Canada to reopen the agreement.

Under the deal, Canada agreed to
impose a stiff tax on Canadian lum-

Teck Corp. earnings fall

VANCOUVER — Net earnings of Vancouver-based Teck Corp.
fell by 18 per cent to $67.8 million, or 82 cents per share, in the nine
months ended Sept. 30, from $82.6 million, or $1.02 per share, a year

Nine-month revenues were $348 million this year and $316 million

In this year’s third quarter, revenues of $119 million generated
$22.5 million, or 27 cents per share, in profit. Corresponding figures in
1989 were $106 million in revenue and earnings of $24.1 million or 30

Teck, the parent company of Cominco Ltd., said operating profit
from mining activities in the latest three months was a record $54
million, compared with $47 million a year ago.

Gold production from the David Bell and Williams mines at
Hemlo, Ont., was 674,300 ounces in this year’s first nine months, a 12-
per-cent increase over year-earlier output.

Cominco reports profit drop

VANCOUVER — Cominco reports unaudited consolidated
earnings of $51.9 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, a drop of
$125 million from a $175.5 million profit in the comparable 1989 period.

Sales for the first three quarters totalled $1,020.4 million compared
with sales of $1,195.3 million in the 1989 period. Share earnings were 62

Third-quarter earnings were $11.6 million, or 13 cents a share,
compared with $34.2 million or 42 cents in 1989.

President Bob Hallbauer said in a news release that the significant
reduction in operating profit reflects a $30.5-million decrease in
operating profits from Pine Point Mines.

B.C. Telephone earnings up
VANCOUVER — B.C. Telephone net earnings rose 3.2 per cent in
the latest quarter and 13.2 per cent for the nine months ended Sept. 30,

Third-quarter net income was $51.3 million or 47 cents a share
compared with $49.7 million or 45 cents a share in the corresponding
