City gas deal seen as neutral in renegotiation period

He noted there will be a profit margin on resale with no city subsidy and estimated distribution costs adding about one cent per thousand cubic feet. The project aims to start this year and finish in 18 months with low impact due to two delivery points and high volume.

Stanfield backs tax plan with one condition to end Liberal threat
Ottawa CP Conservative Leader Robert Stanfield announced he will support Finance Minister John Turner's corporate tax measures, provided December 31 1973 becomes the expiry date for tax cuts for manufacturers and processors. The move ends weeks of uncertainty and appears likely to gain government approval despite the New Democratic Party's opposition. Stanfield denied bowing to big-business pressure, saying his stance reflects a moral obligation and that blocking the plan would hurt thousands of Canadians already basing decisions on expected approval.
