THE REVIEW

Page 5 .

Esquimalt-Saanich Tory MP Don Munro is
hopping mad about the proposed federal tax on
‘gas. ‘‘It cannot be tolerated,’” he says angrily,
and together with other B.C. Tory MPs is circu-
lating a petition protesting the plan.

What he finds so offensive, Munro says, is the
way it’s being presented. ‘‘As though the Amer-
icans are. going to pay!”’

tax — it’s a tax on exports. And I find this just a
little thick.’’

It costs the B.C. Petroleum Corporation $1.80
per unit to buy, transport and service gas which is
sold to B.C. customers at $1.17 per unit. Net loss
is 63 cents per unit. Funds to provide the subsidy
comes from offshore sales priced at $5.40 per

unit — a price set by Ottawa's National Energy
Board, Munro points out.

The difference between offshore sales ($5. 40)
~and the cost of gas ($1.80) is $3.60 per unit and
this money is used to subsidize domestic custom-
ers and help finance other B.C. government
operations such as medicare, hospitals, etc.,
Munro says. But, he explains, the proposed fed-
eral tax will be imposed on that $3:60. It will not
be added to the export price, therefore the profit
accruing to the. corporation will be reduced. .

—a_cut in services, Munro warns.

“It’s the deception that really bugs me,’’ he
says. ‘The price is set in Ottawa for what the
Americans will pay.’

Munro says revenues paid by the B.C. Pet-
roleum Corporation into the provincial treasury
this year amounted to $321 million. **I under-
stand that’s 10 per cent of our B.C. budget. Any
attack on that is going to hurt.”’

Provincial revenues from the corporation rose
from $26 million in 1975 to the $321 million this
year,

The petition, which states B.C. residents ex-
press their ‘absolute rejection of any attempt by
the government of Canada to impose a federal
excise tax against the export of natural gas,** got
underway in B.C. last. week. Munro says the

‘B.C. caucus of his party discussed the idea of the

petition before taking it to the main Tory caucus.
Petitions should: be in to Munro's Mckenzie

‘Road office by Oct. 13 and go out to Ottawa Oct.

14 for presentation to Prime Minister Trudeau.
Munro expects the federal. gas tax proposal to
become a reality in the budget shortly after Oct.
15.
**There’s either going to be cuts in programs
Provincially’ or an increase in taxes as a result -
federal tax,’’ Munro says.
He explains that he’s ‘‘not so much agreeing”

_ with Premier Bill Bennett's stand on the proposal

as ‘‘opposing what Trudeau is doing.’
