Alberta energy pact delays natural gas gains
Medicine Hat MP Bert Hargrave told a Kiwanis luncheon that the federal province pricing accord creates an oil gas inequity in Alberta.

He expects 54 billion in revenues for Ottawa by 1986 and warns funds may be used to balance the budget rather than fund capital projects.
