Lalonde Maps Ambitious 1990 Oil Use Cut Plan
Energy Minister Marc Lalonde unveiled a sweeping goal to slash oil's share of Canada’s energy mix from 45 percent to 10 by 1990, excluding transportation fuels. He urged massive natural gas use and pipelines for a Quebec Maritime system, with refinery upgrades in Ontario and Quebec to cut heavy fuel oil exports. He noted export price pressures and Saskatchewan crude handling issues, asking if refinery priorities favored Ontario-Quebec over Saskatchewan.
