Munster lark is to be sworn into office today at pm in televised ceremony at Government House in tawa In the Words of the election slogan the time for change is here It will be some time before the country knows how much of change is in store What is clear however is that the new prime minister will take the View that government should have less of role in the affairs of men As Mr lark put it governments dont build countries people build countries One is tempted to contrast Mr larks coming into office with the feeling in 1968 when Iierre Trudeau became prime minister with his promise of Just Society for Canada Perhaps anadians collectively expected too much of Trudeau and the idea that this was new age for Canada In 1979 people have no such expectations Perhaps thats just as well anadians might do better with realistic approach about how much any government can deliver Thats not to say that the lark government might not suc ceed far better than some expect Surprises often come in plain packages and Mr Clark might well prove he is no odtinary Joe The new prime minister has stated his government will act in crucial areas healthy econony for Canada energy self sufficiency conciliation with the provinces cutting govern ment spending and mortgage deductibility scheme If he can work to those specifics and utilize the strong team he has in Ottawa loe lark may well surprise

going up with in dividual oilproducing nations making uni lateral price announcements These are all membernations of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries OPEC which itself hiked oil prices few months ago in the last few days Kuwait United Arab Empiratcs Venezuela Nigeria Libya and now Saudi Arabia the holdout have all bumped their price per barrel One of the highest was the Libyan increase of May 30th which jumped $231 It came on top of 70 cent barrel increase earlier in Mav Nigerias crude oil which like the Libyan and thc Algerian is highquality increased $24521 barrelfThis means the $20 barrel oil which economists prophesied for the early 1980s has already arrived in fact most of the recent price increase announcements place the prices for world oil above $2000 barrel with the Libyan and Venezuelan nudging $2200 barrel In your terms as an oil and gas consumer $22 barrel of oil means 50centa gallon in we want your opinion Something on your mind Send

Sond yours to lotto to the Editor The lumber Office In 170 um Ont MM 476 World oil price yet another hike crease MORE INCREASES For Americans this means gas at the pump not much less than the prices we already pay in Canada but for the smaller US gallon For us who knows The outgoing Liberal government had maintained domestic price below the world price but which also was permitted to increase as the world oil price went up this was subSidized from charge on Canadian crude imported into the United States which was imposed in 1974 The Conservatives said little about this Liberal pricing policy during the election campaign Since most of the countries which supply us with imported crude raised their oil prices during the eight weeks long election cam paign here Prime Ministerdesignate Joe Clark may have to move first on domestic oil price policies The longterm implications of these chronic overseas increases are more critical than the immediate price of gas Whatever economic policies the industrial nations of the West have in the works and there are two new Tory governments com mitted to greater industrial productivity these increases may make some of them meaningless Already it is clear the American balance ofpayments position for the rest of 1979 will be in new crisis because of the growing amounts the United States must pay for its large foreign oil imports The Tory alternative to what the Liberals called selfreliance was selfsufficiency While the Liberals balance the development of our heavy oil from the tar sands and new offshore activities mainly through Petro Canada the Tories called for an early end to reliance on Venezuelans Nigerians Alge rians and the rest This is easier said during an election campaign than done during an ad ministration We know Canada possesses one of the worlds largest reserves of heavy oil mainly in tar sands from which we know how to extract it NEED IMPORTED Oll But world oil prices continue to rise much sooner than we can get all that heavy oil on stream The Tories dilemma is that they will continue to rely on imports in spite of their election talk Ilfkcbtsfift 3th Sean Fi By SEAN FINLAY Of The Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Exactly what is the Public Service Com mission and what does it do Its question Edgar Gallant PSC chairman wishes that Allen Lambert had asked as his Royal Commission was suggest ing drastic changes to the PSC When Gallant became chairman of the PSC on July 1976 after threeyear stint as chairman of the National Capital Som mission which is responsible for to eral planning in the OttawaHull area he stepped into job first established in 1908 Parliament established the Civil Service Commission in 1908 to ensure that civil ser vants would be appointed on the basis of an objective evaluation of their profesSional qualities rather than on the basis of which government was in power or which politicians civil servants know It was the wisdom of parliamentarians that if we wanted good government we needed good bureaucracy says Gallant adding Good bureaucracy is just as essential to good government as are good politicians The Civil Service Commission which became the Public Service Commission in 1967 was responsible for all aspects of per sonnel management and personnel ad ministration That meant staffing and classification of jobs says Gallant It was even pay and benefits until 1967 What Gallant describes as new era started for public servants in 1907 RESULT OF REVIEWS The new era was the result of reviews of the Public Service Employment Act and the Civil Service Act and the Glassco Royal Com mission on Government Organizat ioh The government had also made promiscsto MADAM PRIME MINISTER l5 THERE ANY TRUTH TO THE EDGAR GALLANT PSC chairman unions about the introduction of collective bargaining Parliament decided that all things con cerning salaries pensions and everything that was negotiable should be the rcspong sibility of the employer The Treasury Board became the em ployer Parliament though decided that the employer wouldnt be responsible for zip pointmcnts to and promotions within the public service They said that must continue to be based RUM THAT tOUARE Good bureaucracy essential says head of Public Service on the princtple of merit Merit points out Gallant is not something that can be defined precisely in law without the law becoming very unwieldy Politicians have preferred to lace the responsibility for defining merit an applying merit with politicallyindependent agency the Public Service Commission The PSC is directly responsible to Parliament for applying merit for about 23000 public servants Those 283000 do not include members of the Canadian Armed Forces the RCMP oremployecs of crown corporations such as Air Canada No one not the cabinet minister not the department not the Treasury Board not the cabinet says Gallant no one tries or at tempts to tell us how to define merit or how to treat particular individual in given case SET BY THREE Policies of the PSC are set by the chairman and two commissioners Anita Szlagak and John Edwards The three are appointed for 10year terms To discharge to release commissioner against his will takes resolution of both Houses of Parliament Commons and Senate giving us the independence Parliament has wanted us to have in reaching our decisions says Gallant There is more to the Public Service Commission than Gallant and the two commissioners The PSC has staff of 3000 in offices from coast to coast and in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories That staff is responsible for the staffing function of the PSC language training staff development and appeals and investigations As chairman of the PSC Gallant is also the chief executive officer and is accountable to the Treasury Board and the Commons Public Accounts Committee as is any other deputy minister in the public service CHANGING THE NAME OF OUR FLAG TO THE NONUNION JACK Industry grants come under fire By DON IIEARN Queens Park Columnist Thomson News Service TORONTO storm is building up against the governments Employment Development Plan under which it has started giving out grants and loan guarantees to industry to expand or establish in Ontario The NDP has been mostly against the plan dating from the $27 million grant to Ford Motor Co last year which was the godfather of the now fullscale program And now the Liberals have joined in with leader Stuart Smith contending that the ass sistancc is going to flourishing companies who dont need it and who would probably grow in Ontario anyway SPOT LOST Which of course is all quite true as far as itgoes But the blunt fact is that in North America today in fact in the world today the securing of new industry is an intense bidding war And Ontario if it is to maintain industrial health let alone its position as the industrial center of the country has to get in on it It wasnt always this way For long time the province had such advantages as an in dustrial location that it could afford to be bit lazy about aggressivelyly soliciting development But the very low cost power which has always its big hole card isnt there any more Once we ran out of sites for producing hydro from water the cost advantage disappeared Then there was skilled and reasonably low cost labor force Today it is among the highest paid in the world And though there still are some ad vantages such as the location of the province which is ideal for distribution the big in ducements dont exist any more And so it is question of getting into the game with the competition And and this is the facet which disturbs so many playing it according to the rules under which it plays it Actually the whole practice is neither as bad as the opposing politicians would have it and neither is it as new The financial assistance given does mean big return for the province Recently for example grant of 3800000 was given tothe Tridon Corp in Burlington For this there is guarantee of more than 300 new jobs Any new job in the work place today is valued from $50000 up to several hundred thousand dollars And 300 jobs represents big capital return And then strictly speaking the money given in these grants isnt dead loss out of your and my pocket For the extra revenue generated for the government by the in creased activity will return them money quite quickly In the case of the huge Ford loan the government claims it will have it back in under three years Then finally government has always given assistance to industrial development though not so directly or blatantly if you prefer as under the new program When for example Ford located in Oak ville some years ago it cost the province mil lions in new roads housing development and other ancillary spending Leslie Frost who was premier at the time didnt like it but he had to go along The guts of the Employment Plan is that another piper is calling the tune today and we have to dance Maninthenews Don Jamieson says hell win OTTAWA CP Organvoiccd Don Jamieson takes on his latest political challenge supremely confident as always Never trembling wallflowcr Jamicson leaves Ottawa for the Newfoundland Liberal leadership bouyed by predictions he says show he will win the June 18 provincial election without any trouble at all The rotund external affairs minister who carved an impressive political career in his 13 years in Ottawa was once praised by Prime Minister Trudeau as good communicator That was in the dark days just after the 1972 federal election when the proud Liberal government was reduced to twoseat margin over the Progressive Conservatives in minority Parliament Trudeau needed someone to defend the regional expansion department which was then under strong potlitical fire and Jamicson handed the jo Now with the Trudeau government out of office Jamieson is turning his attention to the provincial field where he hopes to parlay his communicating talents into Liberal victory The 58yearold former broadcaster fought Newfoundlands move to join Confederation in 1948 promoting instead an economic union with the United States Now he battles Quebecs sovereignty association proposals and defends national unity However he remains strong friend of the US jovial raconteur and bon vivant Jamieson worked roundtheclock in Ottawa and yet managed to cultivate his New foundland roots He returned frequently to his Newfoundland constituency and won reelec tion even when the Conservatives swept all the other Newfoundland ridings in the 1968 federal election He was quick to stress just after he took over the Liberal leadership Sunday that he is first and foremost Newfoundlander Born in St Johns Nfld Jamicson earned $475 week and tips in his first job as hotel bell boy in the 19305 He entered radio in 1941 gaining reputation for broadcasting lengthy news items with only notes and bit of wire copy
