county Carrier Home Delivery 95c Weekly Report recommends giving PetraCan up to Canadians TORONTO CP The federal govem ment has been urged to return most of the highlyprofitable assets of PetroCanada to private hands by giving free shares to all Canadians The recommendation made by Prime Minister Clarks advisory committee on the stateowned oil agency was disclosed Sunday by New Democratic Party Leader Ed Broad bent who had obtained copy of the commit tees report in advance Modelled on British Columbias giveaway of shares in its conglomerate of tamer Crown corporations the plan due for release today also urges the creation of govern ment agency that would assume all Petra Canadas debts and retain all responsibility for negotiating oil agreements with other countries The new agency also would promote research and development and advise the minister of energy mines and resources Treasury Board President Sinclair Stevens said in an interview Canadians would get about $100 worth of free shares under the new plan Broadbent was quick to attack the plan saying it amounted to keeping Petra Canadas moneylosing parts but selling off the prof itmaking assets The meaning of this is that the govern ment will destroy PetroCanada which most Canadians want to keep Broadbent said of the plan given him in brown envelope Broadbent told 250 Ontario New Democrats the report is deceptive quackery and amounts to socializing the debt and privatiz ing the profits Under the giveaway plan ownership of in itial shares would be restricted to Canadians and the shares could not be traded for six months However once trading of the shares begins individuals would be allowed to accumulate up to one per cent of the stock with institu tional investors allowed up to two per cent The committee
