Those dam stories

Here we go again with those
darned dam stories.

If it isn't the provincial gover-
nment talking about the Site C dam
on the Peace River, it's the
Castl Economic D. i}
Committee once again ra
hopes for generators
Keenleyside dam.

What's next, word that Murphy
Creek dam is back on the drawing
board? £

If nothing else, the stories make
good coffee shop chatter for the
armchair politicians. But is all this
talk about building dams just that

— talk?
Certainly, Keenleyside is by far
the cheapest project — both in

terms of the overall cost and the
cost per unit energy.

But the Keenleyside project has
three serious flaws, at least from
Victoria's viewpoint. It is small, it
is part of the Columbia River Treaty
and it: doesn’t carry the political

_appeal:ot-a-mégaproject like Site...

The size of the dam is important
if B,C. Hydro: intends to sell sur-
plus energy to California. At 210
megawatts, Keenleyside is a drop
in the hydroelectric bucket com-
pared to Site C or Revelstoke’s

2,700 megawatts.

Hydro wants a dam that will
provide enough surplus power to
long-term contracts with
California utilities economical.

Keenleyside’s location’ is also-o
strike. against it if the province

decides to take up the offer to
merge with Bonneville Power Ad-
ministration and other utilities in
the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

BPA and the U.S. utilities are
seeking a merger in part to gain a
better control of the Columbia
River tlows which- would lower
output on the river from B.C. dams
— including Keenleyside.

Ifthe province agrees to the
merger it could hurt —or- end
Keenleyside’s ~~ chances for
generating power.

Finally, Keenleyside just doesn’t
have the political charisma of Site
C. In the eyes of the provincial
government, Site C is like Expo 86
and northeast coal.

Despite all that, there are still

: United States are laboring under a misconception that
Canadian social programs could be on the bargaining table.

Niles sajd in-an interview for CTV's Question Period:

in the United States, ‘could be, and I think would be, very
advantageous to Canadian producers,” Niles contended.

On cultural industries, Niles said he would like to see, -
“if possible, a dlspassionate discussion” of such things as

On Bes issue affecting Canada-U.S. relations, Niles
said, he could understand why Canadians “were unhappy”
about the voyage of a U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker through
the Arctic islands during the summer.

“One of the misconceptions which I have heard since I have
been up here is that somehow the United States is going to

- try and. bring ‘the Canadian social programs, welfare
programs, into these negotiations.”

“Goodness, that is not our intention at all. We have
analogous programs in the United States, which we
certainly do not wish to put on the table in any negotiations
with a foreign country.”

Prime Minister Brian Mulroney announced on Wednes-
day that Canada had taken the preliminary step to sound out
the U.S. Congress on whether a deal to remove trade
obstacles between the two countries can be thrashed out.

"Ss jately branded the an-
nouncement as being too vague for not spelling out what
Ottawa considered negotiable and too hasty when the
impact ofa freer trade arrangement on Canadian jobs is not
known.

Various Canadian interest groups have been: pressing
the Conservative government for months to exclude such
things as Canadian social programs, the Auto Pact between
the two countries, agricultural trade and cultural industries
from any talks.

Niles said that despite the fears of Canadian textile and
footwear industry spokesmen that they could be devastated
by_greater competition with the U.S. firms: “In point of fact

Canadian producers of shoes, with freer access to the market

Niles said “Buy Canada, or Buy Quebec, Buy Ontario or
Buy America” policies are “impediments to international
trade” and should be discussed.

He also mentioned the case of U.S. breweries, who
believe they should have freer access to Canada, especially
when Canadian beermakers are making major. inroads in the
U.S. market.

Protectionist sentiment in the U.S. Congress, which is
faced with more than 300 bills aimed at shielding U.S.
industries or services, is running high and Congress could
reject the proposal from President Ronald. Reagan to
explore the possibility of a comp ive trade ag
between the two-countries.

But Niles said he assessed the chances of congressional
approval “as being quite high.” H

Niles said the reactions to.the Reagan administration's
informal sounding of congressional leaders “have been really
quite favorable.”

URANIUM

KINGSTON, ONT. (CP) — Tonnes of uranium from
Canada are reported to be used each year in the U.S.
Defence Department's conventional weapons system
despite bilateral agreements prohibiting Canadian
nuclear products from being used for military purposes.

Depleted utanium is used by the U.S. army, navy
and air force in a wide range of sophisticated weapons, an
investigation by the CTV current affairs program W5 and
the Kingston Whig-Standard has found. *

Depleted uranium, a byproduct of the process that
upgrades uranium for use in civilian reactors, comes from
stockpiles at the refining plants.

U.S. government figures show nearly half of the
stockpiled uranium came from Canada, most of it through

that ended b the two ies in 1965.

—“Some~of-the uranium has been converted into

uses .... Unless the enrichment customer claims the tails
(tailings) from their enrichment contract, they are the
property of the United States government. Consequent-
ly, there are no ‘Canadian tails’ at. the enrichment
plants.”

Other Energy Department officials said the depleted
uranium is used- to produce plutonium and bomb
components for nuclear warheads. And officials from

jes that make weapons said they use
thousands of tonnes of depleted uranium from the
stockpiles each year.

It quoted the official China

this was the third such test
