critics in the national assembly Finance Minister Jacques larieau tabled legislation Friday which would allow Quebec Crown corporation to expropriate the assets of Asbestos Corp subsidiary of General lynamicsorp oiSt Louis Mo Opposition members labelled the move blackmail And the president of Asbestos orp Maurice laschereau said expropriation would be piece of government folly which would come out of the taxpayer pocket Taschereau said in statement the ex propriation would create no new jobs and would mean higher taxes irandiose government plans to establish an asbestos processing industry in Quebec are based on wishful thinking he said This objective will not be achieved through the purchase of Asbestos which has no in volvement in manufacturing nor special technology in this area He added It is incoinprehensible that at time when the government is attempting to attract new industry and new investment to Quebec such move should be made fiwlm lEXCHANGESl $335 Vch5 dont care if you
