Today's vote, following the Senate's approval of the same measures last month, means the proposals now will become law. The next step is for the pipeline’s corporate sponsors to seek financing in major capital markets. - The legislative proposal, supported by—the Reagan administration and by the Canadian government, is in- tended to reduce the financial risk of raising the needed $40 | billion to $60 billion for the massive project. Pipeline sponsors main- tained it would be impossible to finance the project other- wise, but a provision permit- ting builders to charge Amer- ican consumers for some con- struction costs before com- pleting the entire line was hotly debated as an anti- consumer measure.

Premier Bill Bennett and Deputy Premier Grace Mc- Carthy. told a news confer- ence that the project on Van- couver's waterfront had been “postponed indefinitely” be- cause no federal-provincial agreement on funding could be reached. ~ Bennett declined to’ say what factors might bring the project back to life. But McCarthy, who spear- headed ‘the project, sugges- ted there is only an $8- million shortfall — less than what the B.C. government has already spent on the project. Bennett estimated $12 mil- lion has been spent, mainly for design and engineering work. The decision was made after a final effort to reach agreement with Ottawa and the Harbors Board failed’on ‘Friday: Both “Bennett: and “Mc- Carthy said they ‘were dis- appointed © the ‘ project.“had been postponed but they said it -would: have ‘been trres- ponsible: to spend more.'tax dollars on the centre without & ‘proper commitment from: Ottawa. Ottawa has been ‘a key player because it was com- mitted through the harbors board to provide a new cruise ship facility on thé.pier as, part of the project, The fed- eral involvement was:origin- ally estimated to be $8.5 million, but like all the other estimates for Pier B.C., it has since risen. The B.C. government wanted Ottawa to kiek in at lest $25 million for the'cruise ship facility, but Ottawa maintained that $17 million was its top offer. The only reason the cruise ship facility was more ex- pensive, federal officials said, ‘was because the design was tied in with the trade and convention centre.
