Frank Howard ‘seeks. copper

smelter. in ‘N WwW. British: Columbia _

Frank Howard, NDP Can- didate for Skeena, while in Smithers called upon the Canadian Development Cor- poration immediately to take sleps to promote the building of a copper smelter in Nor- thwestern B.C.

Mr. Howard said, “During this last session of Parliament I

" prepared and introduced a bill

to give the Canadian Development Corporation specifi c authority to enter into arrangements-with the mining industry to establish a copper

smelter in our area.” | .-.- Mr. Howard gaid, phere. ‘are? four mining companies, Bethlehem Copper, Place’ Development, Noranda and Newmont who: have formed consortium to build'a copper smelter and who appear to be desirous of working with either” the Federal or Provincial governments in this venture.”. “T believe there should be government involvemient,” said . Mr. Howard, ‘for: that is the» best way to.insure that all en- vironmental factors are con- sidered and the environment’

Mitchell...“Northern . products should be —

processed and used _ in the north” |

“Under a new purchasing policy more of the Federal Government's requirements in Western Canada will be pur- chased in Western Canada.” So stated Mr. Richardson, - Minister of Supply Services, adding that ‘'...tax payer's dollars will be saved because the new policy of . regional buying will reduce — the Government's distribution costs.’’, ,

“It is now the intention of the Government” Richardson said, “to consider distribution costs to the point of final use, as well as the original costs of the product, when determining the Most appropriate sources of supply. In order to reduce ‘distribution costs, it is

‘desireable that the source of -

supply be as close as possible to the point of final use.” he said.

This statement is directly in line with John Mitchell's stand

Issues of concern in Skeena riding

PREPARED BY JOHN E. MITCHELL, LIBERAL CANDIDATE -

“SKEENA

REPRESENTATION: “The most important i issue in Skeena today is representation,

The N.D.P. incumbent Frank Howard, has forsaken the House, and the people of Skeena; he is bored with his job.

’ His attendance i in the House in

the last session was 29 per cent. We know he is handicapped because he's a member of the

poor, it is the worst attendance record of any Member of Parliament.” Mitchell said. “He explains that he was away for two weeks in Australia and New Zealand, that he had minor illnesses twice and that he had to return to his riding. I submit these are feeble ex- cuses!"’ Mirchell argued. “All

other M.P.s serve on com miltees too.” .

“The fact remains,” Mitchell stated, “that an independent survey came up with these absentee figures, Howard was the man with the worst at- tendance record, and Mr. ‘Howard does not deny it...nor can he give a reasonable ex- planation.”

“Tt is as we have said from thestart,” Mitchell concluded,” Frank Howard i is bored with his job, after some twenty years as a representative he just can’t be bothered anymore. Well...that Means its time for a change, because Skeena must have representation.”

riding by the encumbent, Frank . “Wherever you go”, |

for 20 years, aiid itis showing. It

‘is time to replace Frank

Howard to give Skeena active representation in The House, from the majority, Government

side.

ENVIRONMENT: It may be necessary to further study the use of nuclear power generation as an alternative to the dam- ming of rivers. I am concerned about the destruction of rivers and we are learning now that dam construction effects even te river deltas. The’ en- vironmental effects are very

complex and far reaching: Careful study must be made to.

avoid errors.

UNDERPRIVILEDGED: I do not like designations of problems by ethnic groups, colour or other racist generalizations. There is an under-priviledged group which includes a number of native persons, white persons and various other persons,

My personal philosophy is to see government provide assistance to everyone to whatever extent necessary to bring them to the first rung of the ladder, The ‘first rung’ is, by definition, that point of socio- economic readiness where a person is equipped to choose his destiny and work towards his goals in our rich and exciting economy. The land is strong... "and every Canadian should have an opportunity to share in the future,

UNEMPLOYMENT: Throughout Canada there is talk of the ‘unemployment problem’

AIRPORTS: Airport facilities in the north must be ‘improved at a much faster rate than they are presently being dealt with. Already in this campaign I have demonstrated how a little effort can get action out of Ottawa, I submit its better to send a new man from Skeena than to try to teach the old one new tricks.

. Railway is a big factor in the _ economy of .the Northern In- we need more people -

Extensions are needed of the C.N, line north of Topley into Granisle and south from Houston into the Qotsa Lake region, Similarly in- creased rail facilities are needed to the north of the Hazelton and Terrace areas, clear into the Yukon. I wiil push for sensible and planned rail extension throughout the riding.

Upgrading of the C.N, northline must be accelerated. 1 want answers on the matter of

frequent derailments; there

have been too many on this line.

I feel that it is essential that ‘snowsheds be incorporated into the line. We cannot supply our port cities of Kitimat and Prince Rupert until a_ safe, year-round line is a reality.

While we co-operate with the P.G.E. we must recognize it as a potential drain leading south out of the heart of the north, and

THE REAL NORTH:

That’s right, the Skeena Rivet and much of the inhabited area .

John Mitchell is the Liberal candidate for Skeena in the upcoming federal edlection.
