TORY MPP: Ontario TORONTO (CP) -- A promi- nent Conservative member . of the legislature said today On- tario probably will operate its own pension plan with benefits superior to those which would be provided by the Canada Pen- sion Plan. Allan Lawrence, a_ lawyer who represents the Toronto rid- ing of St. George, said the pos- sibility was very distinct that Ontario, like Quebec, will choose to opt out of the Canada Pension Plan. Legislation now before Parlia- ment provides that any prov- 'ince may operate its own pub- as the provincial plan offers the federal plan. However, Mr, Lawrence said Ontario residents probably will Pension Plan Better Than Canada-Wide get a pension deal not only com- parable but much better, "I know that serious consid- eration is being given at Queen's Park for the possible provision in a provincial plan of benefits that the federal plan could not provide," he said. Mr. Lawrence made his re- marks while acting as modera- tor for a college discussion group sponsored by the Univer- sity of Toronto Progressive Con- servative Club. His comments pertaining to pensions were issued to the press in advance. Laurence Coward, chairman of the Ontario Pension Commis- sion, said in an interview there would be literally dozens of ways in which the federal plan could be changed. Dragged BERKELEY, Calif.

Walker, president of General Motors of Canada Ltd., in a prepared statement said: "The strike against the Cana- dian companies of GM called by the United Auto Workers is completely unnecessary and un- justified If prolonged, it will have serous consequences for our employees and their fam- ilies, for our dealers and sup- pliers and their employees, for our plant communities and for the public and the economy 'at large.

"These proposals include, sub- stantial wage increases, and greatly improved retirement benefits, for our 23,000 Canadian employees "We stand ready. to continue negotiaticns at any time in an effort to resolve our differences so all of us can get back to work," George Burt, UAW Canadian director said in a statement re- leased today: "The UAW is prepared to con- tinue without interruption the negotiations for a contract re- newal at the five Ontario plants of General Motors.

The Oshawa strike, approved later by the union leadership, was sparked by a company speed-up on the assembly line, the union said. The company closed the en- tire assembly operation aft about 9 p.m. Tuesday and sent 4,000 night-shift workers home, Wednesday morning, picket lines appeared: at the north and south divisions of the Oshawa plant and up to 40 union mem- bers picketed at each plant gate, About 800 members of Local 222 packed 'the 'union hall early in the afternoon and another 75 waited outside. The wunion's previous thrée- year contract ended Oct. 31. In bargaining for a new agree. ment, the UAW has demanded wage parity with GM workers in the United States. This would give its members the recent U.S. increase-of 2.5 and 2.8 per cent in the secoiid and third years of an agreement plus--according to union se 4 lations--an additional 40 ¢ to $1 an hour. Contract negotiations between the UAW and Ford Motor Com- pany of Canada and Chrysler Canada Limited are still con- tinuing. Mr. Burt has said that Ford and Chrysler workers would Mot leave their jobs if the GM workers struck. ® added. "To this moment, the offer of GM to the Canadian workers is well below the value of the UAW-GM settlement in the U.S., and in addition, does not meet the special needs of Canadian workers in several important areas. We believe, however, that there is no problem before us that cannot be worked out satisfactorily by intensive nego- tiations between two parties de- siring a settlement as early as possible," Mr. Burt said.
