“Most of the work of the
committee we can't share
outside it. We need to sup-

strongly and we found that
part of our work involves not
only paying attention to all
the issues in Doukhobor soci-

checking with each other to
find out where we share our
views in,common, where we
choose to disagree with each
other.”

Other activities at the
last full meeting of the com-
mittee included visiting

gages.”

The NDP forests critic
said he was “very upset”
with the absence of any ref-
erence to the industry des-
pite earlier assurances by
Environment Minister John
Roberts, responsible for for-
estry.

“There's been not a’
single word mentioned of an
industry that employs one
out of every 10 Canadians,”
he said.

“The minister made
statements two or three
weeks back suggesting they
were going to reserve their
earlier record in which the
Canadian Forest Service was
almost cut in half and that
they were going to start
giving new emphasis and im-
portance to the role of the
federal government in that

* area.” 7

“But when I see not a
single word mentioning it in
the throne speech, I'm a little
leery. I hope he's got more
impact in the cabinet than
that if he meant what he
said.” :

Despite its failure to
deal with those problems, the
throne speech did promise
some welcome measures, he

He applauded the gov-
ernment’s early commitment
to increasing old-age income
supplements by $35 monthly

have been questioning the

Commons trying: to ensure

Of specific interest to
Rossland and Castlegar —
both sites of recent accidents
involving cargo spills — is the
indication early action will be
taken to regulate the trans-
port of dangerous goods, the
Kootenay West MP said.

(In late March a CPRail
car loaded with phosphate
rock derailed and overturned,
after rolling free of the five-
car section to which it was
secured in South Castlegar.
Early this month a truck
carrying potassium perman-
ganate overturned and burst
into flames after going out of
control on Rossland Hill.)

Another item “of quite a
bit of interest in the West
Kootenay” is the commit-
ment to strengthen the Fo-
reign Investment Review

The speech indicated the
goverment will establish
“some kind of continuing
performance review" which
would enable the govern-
ment to ensure foreign com-
panies follow through with
commitments.

Foreign ownership has
resulted in a number of
problems in the Salmo area,
related both to Idaho Forest
Industries and Louisiana Pa-
cific that have captured head-
lines from time to time,” the
Kootenay West MP said.

Similar problems may
