Related to this need for foreign capital is the pricing of oil and gasoline. There must be no doubt about who speaks for Canaâ€" da when the government enters "the inevitable" enâ€" ergy negotiations with the United States, he said. Therefore, the Liberal goâ€" vernment should not beâ€" come embroiled in a constiâ€" tutional battle with the proâ€" vinces, but should remain firm.
