chell, a former deputy min-
ister of labor, said the Key
Lake proposals, were ‘satis-
factory from environmental,
safety and health points of

view.

“Considering the, entire
situation, we are satisfied
that the social impact of the
project on the northern peo-
ple and communities will be

sitive,” the board sald.

Dr. Mavis: Hethrington
said in a recent interview
that boys displey trouble-

the parents have separated
or divorced and it takes them
considerably longer to adjust
to the disrupted family.

for Arctic wildlife

By BILL LEVITT

OTTAWA (CP) — A fed-
eral discussion paper paints
a ‘bleak picture for birds,
whales, polar bears and other
‘wildlife that migrate through
Lancaster Sound at the east-
ern end of the fabled North-
west Passage.

The paper, entitled. The
Lancaster Sound: Region
1980-2000, was released Fri-

a
to focus’ public attention on

_ the need for a regional man-

agement plan.

‘The plan had’ become nec-

essary because of forecasts
that by the year 2000, more

- than 1,000 ice-breaking tank-
“ers are expected to travel

through the: tempestuous,
ice-laden seas each year,

oil blowout if pompanies are
allowed to tap the rich oil and
gas fields, the paper states.

‘The extent of damages de-
pends on where the accident
happens, the season, the dis-

persion of winds and ‘cur- °

rents, the clean-up response
time and the equipment used.

And, the paper says, wild-
life and the environment in
general will be threatened

even if development in the .

area is limited. —-
SPILLS A PROBLEM

The government admits
that. “clean up of oil spills
may not always be possible
because of the magnitude of
the spill, the absence of ef-
fective technology or through
interference by . . . ite, wind
and cold.”

The pressure is mounting
on Ottawa to devise plans to
protect the environment and
possibly carry on: limited re-
source development to meet
the nations’ needs. :

But the papers, prepared
by seven federal depart-
ments and the Northwest
Territorial government, of-
fers no long-term goals or
objectives to guide two pub-
lic workshops — in Resolute
Bay and Ottawa — to be held
this spring.

Simple either-or questions
are asked about year-round

ill. There is”

shipping, major industrial
development, . identification
.of parks. and reserves and
exploration are asked.

* Don Gamble, executive dir-
ector of the Canadian Arctic
Resource Committe, said in
‘an interview Friday that he

is disappointed by the ‘sim: _

plistic questions.”

“Gamble said these ques-
tion’ were discussed at nor-
thern environment, hearings
in-‘Lancaster ‘Sound a couple

- of years ago and at the Arctic
Pilot ‘Project hearings in
Resolute Bay last year.

. "I had expected a. doc-
ument that purports to be a
green paper would have
outlined options. that are
possible for, the region with!
some sort of idea of what the
objectives of each option is

and what the priorities would -
be.” .

CONSIDER ISSUES .
“Gamble said he doubts that
the workshops can zero-in on
some of the, major issues.
Once the workshops are held,
a final report will make var-
ious recommendations to cab-
inet. :
