the oxamlnor Friday July 1917 extra AECL president fired says Energy Minister OTTAWA CP Faced with continuing high losses in Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd Energy Minister Alastair Gillespie said Thursday he has dumped the president of the company and ordered financial reorganization Gillespie said he learned last Wednesday that the nuclear promoting corporation will lose $180 million day later the board of directors recommended that John Foster be asked to step down and that action was taken on Monday But firing Foster president of the company since the start of 1975 appears to have done little to mollify opposition criticism of its operations Both the Progressive Conservatives and the New Demo crats saw Foster as sacrificial lamb and said there should be further inquiries into the role government played For the last 10 years the ministers responsible have been guilty of gross negligence and there should be an inquiry into the matter of almost criminal negligence in the handling of public funds TC Douglas NDPNanaimo CowichanThelslands said TABLEI REPORT Gillespie announced the firing of Foster after tabling in the Commons copies of document called Highlights 197677

government proposed legislation Thursday to amend the AntiInflation Act to stop unions and companies that have had wage and price rises rolled back from regaining their losses when the controls end In effect the proposals say that any pay contract or price rise that the antiinflation board or the federal antiinflation admtinistrator has reduced is deemed to be an amended con rac union or company could not claim automatic en ti tlement to the difference between what was negotiated and what was permitted by the antiinflation board as soon as the legislated controls end Finance Minister Donald Macdonald said earlier this year that he planned to bring in the amendment because the goverment feared sudden burst of inflationary pressure when controls end because groups might try to immediately
