Sponsored by Ontario Hydro, the centre is intended to get the public's input into where a new transmission line should run. The line will start at the Manitoba border and finish in the Smooth Rock Falls area. Ontario Hydro is consider- ing three options in where to locate the new line, which will carry 1,000 megawatts of power starting at the turn of the century. The utility also says the new line will improve the quality of service in Northem Ontario. NEW DIESEL ENGINES Thunder Bay-Atikokan MP Iain Angus has called upon the government to ensure that new environmentally friendly diesel truck engines can be used in Canada. "Canadians will be denied the environmental and econom- ic benefits of new clean-run- ning diesel engines which will be introduced in the United States in 1994, because Canada can't decide whether to proceed with production of low-sulphur diesel fuel, and because Cana- dian refiners can't guarantee an adequate supply of the cleaner fuel," Angus told the House of Commons. Angus said Canadian truck- ers are already out-competed by their American counterparts, and if their trucks cannot use the new engine, "their vehicles will be unusable in the United States." : Angus also-said that since most diesel engines are import- ed for the U.S., Canada will eventually be stuck with out- moded and aging equipment. "Canada must match the U.S. decision to ensure that our truckers can survive," said Angus. NEW LABOUR PACT The governments of Canada and Ontario have signed an agreement to co-ordinate responsibilities for training and retraining of the work force. The Canada-Ontario Labour Force Development Agreement provides a total of $1.6 billion ( $751 from the province and compiled by Darren MacDonald $846.1 million from the feds) during the fiscal year for vari- ous types of job training pro- grams. The agreement also allows for income support for workers in some programs, and for.con- tinued UIC benefits for persons enrolled in others. It also commits both levels of government to increase access to training for groups such aS minorities, women, francophones and displaced workers. The agreement also commits Canada to spend a minimum of $40 million on apprenticeship training, and promises to fund local training boards to deter- mine what local needs are.
