Mr. Pearson said that the National Energy Board ‘‘after reviewing Trans - Canada’s un- dertakings, has said that in its view these undertakings would remove the possibility that the Great Lakes line might become in effect the main line of Trans- Canada.” = The government last August rejected Trans-Canada’s. bid to build a 36-inch line via the U.S. to export gas and help supply the eastern market. Tle North- ern Ontario line. now in opera- tion is a 30-inch line.

Mr. Pearson said that follow- ing the government’s decision Trans-Canada offered to ~make certain commitments to . meet the government’s objections.

These were sent to the energy board which found them “an adequate and acceptable fe- sponse” to the government’s ob- jections.

Mr. Pearson said the com- pany’s.,new. promises remove the government’s basic objec- tion and it approved the board's recommendations for construc- tion, export and import permits.

TORONTO (CP) — A Canada ‘Packers spokesman says there should be’ no immediate price increase in meat products as a result of the settlement of an 11-week strike by 5,300 employ- Ss. * “This business is highly com- petitive and as yet the other companies are not subject to the same high wage increase we are,” he said. The strike by United Packing- house Workers in six cities won them a three-year package in- crease totalling 55. cents an hour and_fringe benefits with an estimated ~ value of between 13-15 cents, The wage increase will have an effect on prices, the spokes- ‘man said, but when. and how the = difficult to calculate.
