Ten More Parks Proposed in National Parks Bill
A Commons debate centers on amendments to the National Parks Act. Joe Clark accuses the bill of unfairly favoring territorial autonomy by allowing establishment or enlargement of parks in Yukon and Northwest Territories with only consultation, while provinces require provincial consent. Critics warn about native land claims in Yukon and Northwest Territories and the need to address aboriginal title before final passage.

Alberta plans oil marketing board buy and resell leases
Premier Lougheed confirms Alberta will form a marketing board to buy and resell production from the province oil leases, covering about 85 percent of output. The move aims to control sale and pricing amid federal tax pressure, with specifics to be debated in the December session. The board would leave 15 percent under freehold leases and retain mineral rights, as opponents urge clearer details on royalties and investment tied to a Fort Saskatchewan petrochemical project and a two pipeline system.
