INTRODUCTION  We all know about the broken campaign promises of the Tories about their inability to lead the country decisively; `end about the budget they presented to Canadians last December budget which was the crowning glory of six months of Tory flip-flops and inept leadership,a budget which led to the defeat of the government.  The Liberal Party voted against the Tory budget because:  - It was regressive. The effect would be the equivalent of a 1690 increase in income taxes for individual Canadians, but only 596.for corporations, including giant multinationals.  - It was badly timed and, in the face of world-wide recession, would have slowed economic growth and led to higher unemployment and double-digit inflation;  - It would have raised taxes by billions of dollars in four years, supposedly to finance the deficit, but in actual fact, not much would have been used against the deficit . A great deal would have been used to finance the mortgage tax deductibility scheme to the advantage of a minority in society.  We didn't vote against the budget because ft was tough. These are tough times, economically all over the world and we would have accepted a tough, realistic, economic program from the Tories.  But, we voted against this budget and helped bring down this government because they were tough on people, rather than on problems and that's the important distinction.' -- Pierre Trudeau, January 71, 1980.  JOBS  The Liberal Party is committed to a development philosophy for Canada. The 1980s will place an unprecedented demand for a highly skilled and motivated labour force, to deal with the vast array of new service industries and technologies that will shape our economic destiny.  To achieve the national goals of growth and prosperity, the liberal Party recognizes the paramount importance of strengthening and expanding employment opportunities for the student and non-student youth sector.  The governing principles of our policy are job creation, training, and placement. To this end the Liberal Party proposes to:  1. Continue the tax credit plan for job creation by private business firms and voluntary associations  2. Encourage results-oriented research and development from the private sector and publicly funded institutions with a target of 1.5% of GNP being spent on research and development.  3. Continue the job employment training program ()ET) as it existed under the previous Liberal government.  4. Ensure the department of regional economic expansion takes into account problems of youth employment.  5. Re-establish the full range of summer jobs programs cut back by the Clark government when youth unemployment Is at an unacceptable rate.  The Conservative government of Joe Clark has shown little or no interest in combatting unemployment thr drastic cutback in the Canada Works program is ample evidence of its disregard for human problems.  The Liberal Party, however; is confident and optimistic about the capabilities and potential of Cariadians4As a party and as a government; the Liberals have consistently striven for varied and innovative manpower and employment policies. The Liberal Party believes in opportunity for all Canadians whatever their age or their background.  ENERGY  PETROCAN  We must develop more Canadian sources of oil and gas In this unstable oil-hungry world, Canada must also have a secure supply of oil from other countries.  Petrocan was created by a Liberal Government, and we will strengthen its role in both these areas.  Petrocan will negotiate state-to-state oil purchases1. 3lt will continue its already-successful oil and ~as explorations.  The Tories claim that they will give back to Canadians parts of Petrocan:3They say nothing of the enormous administrative cost involved in their policy of giving Canadians what they already own.But their Petrocan policy would destroy an essential national corporation.  ENERGY SECURITY  The liberal Party is dedicated to increasing Canadian control of our oil industry. Our goal is to have one half of oil industry assets owned by Canadians within ten years.  We will establish the Petroleum Pricing Auditing Agency-to monitor Industial activities and profit. This agency will be instrumental in developing a national energy policy included in such a policy will be a "Made In Canada " price, fair to the consumers, and which will insure the development of Canadian supplies will not follow blindly the prices set by the 4i'M Cartel.  ENERGY CONSERVATION  Large increases in energy prices may encourage energy conservation But this hurts those on low income. This also disrupts the economy, adds to inflation, reduces economic growth.  A better way is to set efficiency standards for new construction, new appliances and new cars, and to subsidize improvements to existing homes.  The Liberals will set new standards and create new incentives for conservation. These, along with moderate price increases, will help Canadians to conserve energy.  RENEWABLE ENERGY  In the long term, Canada must depend on renewable energy. Other sources will get more and more expensive, and will continue to be major pollutants.  The Liberals will create the Alternative Energy Corporation of Canada, a subsidiary of Petrocan, to promote renewable energy in. Canada. In many cases renewable energy is now economically viable. In other cases, more technical development is needed . The new corporation will work to ensure that Canada has non-polluting renewable energy for the future.  VISION FOR THE 80s  So we will also develop industrial policies that will spur growth, that we'll increase Canadian ownership and control of the Canadian economy.3lNe will also create jobs. fur concern for the small business .sector, which was also demonstrated under the Liberal Government, will specifically recognize that about two-thirds of all the new Jobs created in Canada over the past five years were created by small business, 97% of which are Canadian owned. Pierre Elliot Trudeau, January 14, 1980.  Canada has so much to offer. Most of the natural resources in this vast expanse of land have not yet been tapped. New technology is bringing us closer to developing resources which are potentially abundant However we have to make some major decision which direction are we aiming our development whom are we doing it? We of the Liberal Party believe that our country must be generous towards its own citizen' Our social commitment will lead us to a society that is fairer to the less privileged. Equal opportunity also means banishing all discrimination based on sex, life ,,4tyle and social origin. We must therefore aim towards a future of development and justice for all. Canadians will see their country developing way which is unique in the world. New opportunities will help a maximum number of Canadians. Development of our secondary industry will allow us to deal with unemployment and help eliminate poverty. This is what the future has in store for us, starting today, if we make the right choice.  1. Liberals will set a “Made In Canada" pricing policy to secure adequate supplies of energy at reasonable prices."  Joe Clark accepts that world prices dictae the price of domestic oil.  The Liberals do not accept this because it means instead of offsetting OPEC pricing, it would endorse it. The Conservatives are willing to make an OPEC crisis a Canadian crisis bringing in its wake recession, inflation and unemployment. Liberals realize what is good for OPEC is not in Canada's best interest. The Liberal "Made in Canada" energy pricing policy would divorce the Canadian price of oil from OPEC pricing.  THERE WILL BE NO 18 A GALLON CLARK EXCISE TAX.  Liberals reject flatly the 18 a gallon Clark/rosbie excise tax. A tax the Conservatives have pledged for re-introduce if they are returned to Ottawa. A tax that is over and above the increased prices-they are suggesting. A tax brought in not for energy security or conservation but to pay for more vote seeking promises that would . benefit some Canadians at the expense of every Canadian at the gas pump.  FOR PRICING PURPOSES THERE _ WILL BE 3 CATEGORIES TO ENSURE A FAIR, EQUITABLE PRICE , FOR CANADIANS.  The Liberal "Made in Canada" pricing policy will distinguish between "old" oil, the oil now in supply or already in production; and "new” oil from new projects in the Tar Sans, the Arctic and the Continental Shell is is a more expensive proposition. The third category is that of the imports for which the price is world price. the Conservatives would charge you  the highest price for all categories of oil.  The prices of these 3 categories will be different for the producers and Liberals will decide u n one blended price for the consumed a price will be uniform across the country. Any future increase would be phased-in and would not bean immediate and abrupt hardship to working Canadians such as the Conservatives are planning.  "TO ENSURE FAIR COSTING, THERE WILL BE A PETROLEUM PRICING AND AUDITING AGENCY  A new permanent Petroleum Pricing and Auditing Agency would be established to investigate and report on industry costs, profits and operation.  This also will see to it that money earned in Canada will be re-invested in Canada to find new sources of energy.  THE CONSERVATIVES WILL BE DEMANDING THAT LIBERALS MUST SAC' RIGHT NOW WHAT OIL PRICE OF OIL IS GOING TO BE IN THE FUTURE.  '"One of the most predictable responses to the "Made in Canada" Liberal pricing policy dill be Joe Clark making hollow demands for a specific price. Clark has stated his OPEC dominated price and on top of that has added his 18~ a gallon excise tax.- The Liberal price will have no excise tax and will be determined in negotiation with the Provinces. Needless to say it will be a price lower than the OPEC dominated, producer influenced price the Conservatives are so eager to impose on working Canadians.  2. "Liberals will achieve energy 9security through the accelerated development of Canada s domestic potential and ensuring Canada s offshore supply."  The "Made in Canada" incentive policy will increase Canada's domestic supply. Also, Liberals would restore the $80 million cut from Petro-Canada's exploration budget made by Joe Clad:, and Liberals would mandate Petro-Canada to participate in the development of the Tar Sands and heavy oils.  Also Liberals would immediately resume negotiations with Mexico and Venezuela to re-establish the vital oil o; contracts lost by the Conservatives. Oil contracts that would have contributed significantly to the energy security of Eastern Canadians.  3. Liberals would develop more balanced energy program through the replacement of oil by natural gas and other energy forms”  Liberals realize Canada needs to substitute plentiful resources such as natural gas for the energy resources we are short of like oil. Therefore under "Made in Canada" policies, natural gas will not be pegged to rising international prices.  It will be set at a lower Made in Canada level to encourage people to switch.  Massive exports as those endorsed by Joe Clack would be thoroughly investigated so Canadians would always have first claim to their own natural gas resource.  THERE WOULD BE A NATURAL ` ~ GAS PIPELINE TO ENSURE ALL r CANADIANS ACCESS TO THEIR RESOURCES. Liberals would take immediate action to begin negotiations for construction of a natural gas pipeline to Quebec City and the Maritimes. Initially it would carry natural gas east but when Maritime = supplies are ready, the pipeline would be like a natural gas railroad with a return delivery facility as well.  Clark has almost person ally destroyed Petro-Canada, one of Canadas greatest energy assets. Liberals would strengthen and expand Petro -Canada as. an instrument of national policy.  Unlike Joe Clark, Liberals have a consistent and firm Petro Canada policy. Petro-Canada will, be kept. Petro-Canada will be strengthened. Petro-Canada will be 'expanded. Its Exploration budget will be increased It will assume a greater role in estate-to-state oil and energy deals and Petro-Canada s growth will be encouraged.  5. Through a subsidiary of Petro -Canada, Liberals will place a new emphasis on conservation and the promotion of energy alternatives."  Liberals would create a subsidiary of Petro-Canada, the Alternate Energy Corporation of Canada. As a Crown Corporation, it will assume all existing and planned federal activities relating to the research and development of wind, solar tidal, biomass, coal liquification and other energy forms.  6. "Liberals will ensure that e Canada s energy sector becomes more Canadian owned and controlled."  As a specific goal-and as a commitment, a Liberal government will deliver to Canadians by 1990 a Petroleum industry that is 5 /o Canadian owned and control under the previous Liberal government foreign declined from 91% to 75%.~ur commitment is to continue and to accelerate that position. It will be achieved through Petro-Canada, federal land regulations and tax allowances.  Liberals gill see that energy becomes part of the larger economic strategy forming the core of any industrial or regional development approach.  It is the belief of Liberals that energy must be the cue of industrial and regional development At least $100 billion will be spent in the energy sector in the next 10 years, and a Liberal government would be committed to direct the benefits of this boom to Canadian's. Industry would be developed close to energy sources so producing areas in the west and elsewhere will have first chance at processing the resources.  ENERGY MUST BEAN ECONOMIC TOOL AS WELL.  If our energy prices are kept below world prices, we will give our secondary -manufacturing industries the trading edge they needy compete effectively in a difficult world. Revenues raised through energy taxation will be used to create greater projects, more employment and more work in Canada.  Unlike the Joe Clark Conservatives whose only policy on energy is promises, the Liberals have a firm, solid program. For the critical years facing Canada and Canadians, and for the role energy must play in-all our futures, this is the time for programs, not promises . This is the time to vote Liberal.
