Harvie Andre, PC energy critic from Calgary, says both Alberta and Ottawa must temper rhetoric in the oil price and revenue sharing dispute. He urged an end to mouthing off after Energy Minister Marc Lalonde's House remarks on Thursday or Wednesday.
Andre criticizes Alberta Premier Lougheed as responsible for rising gasoline costs while federal tax changes push prices up nationwide. Conservatives claim Liberals broke a pledge to curb fuel prices, with Ottawa arguing price levels would align with the Tory budget of 1979. Lalonde cites Alberta oil cuts as key to the increases amid the national energy clash.
Finance Minister Allan MacEachen told about 75 Liberals that no new social spending initiatives would be added in the next three years despite a plan to raise social program funding by 6 billion. He emphasized growth through economic development and energy investments to fund welfare, pensions, and other benefits. He also warned of a widening fiscal gap between rich and poor provinces, spotlighting Alberta.
