Residential rebates would average about 12.70 in year one and rise to 38.47 in year two before tapering, with 42 percent gas and 58 percent electric rebates.

Canada pledges 2 billion for space program over 15 years
Science Minister Frank Oberle announced Canada will spend 2 billion dollars over 15 years to support three main space programs. These include Canadian involvement in the U S space station, the RadarSat remote sensing satellite, and the MSAT communications satellite. Oberle noted cost overruns on the space station but said Canada would focus on the mobile servicing centre and keep overruns from spreading to its portion. He expects to name the new Canadian Space Agency headquarters and executive director soon, with Ottawa or Montreal as likely locations. Canada marked 25 years in space at Edmonton's Space Sciences Centre, recalling the Alouette 1 launch on September 29, 1962, as a milestone. Thirsk noted delays in U S shuttle flights have frustrated Canada's six astronauts.

Energy Minister Marcel Masse at the oil and gas markets conference said Canada could offset about eight or nine percent of current oil consumption, surpassing cuts from the embargo. He noted plans to review emergency responses and consider strategic petroleum reserves in Atlantic Canada with a projected cost of 540 million dollars to cover a 90 day import shortfall.
