     on the Board's hearings. 
     
    

    
     The question of foreign owner— 
     
     ship is also a vital one in the 
     
     Energy debate. As Walter Gordon, 
     
     Melville Watkins, Jim Laxer, Herb. 
     
     Gray and others have demonstr— 
     
     ated, from varying perspectives, 
     
     Canada must come to grips with 
     
     the question soon. In the energy 
     
     field, nearly 82% of Canadian 
     
     industry is fereign owned - in 
     
     petroleum refining the figure is 
     
     closer to 99%. 
     
    

    
     As the energy resource indus- 
     
     tries are capital rather than 
     
     labour intensive, Canada, to the 
     
     extent that she exports raw 
     
     energy resources, is also create 
     
     ing employment in the U.S. It 
     
     takes few men to operate a gas 
     
     or oil well, but many, many 
     
     more to operate the industries 
     
     that use the extracted energy 
     
     source. Canada could find her-‘ 
     
     self in a permanent state of 
     
     relative underdevelopment. 
     
    

    
     Foreign ownership of the ' 
     
     petroleum industry has another, 
     
     less often recognized effect 
     
     as well. The Shultz report 
     
     suggested that about 71% of

     form of profits and dividends. 
     
     In the period from 1960-1967, 
     
    

    
     to illustrate this point, 
     
     American subsiduaries in Canada 
     
     remitted profits of $5.9 billion 
     
     back to their parent companies 
     
     and shareholders, while a new 
     
     capital inflow to Canada from 
     
     the United States totalled only 
     
     $4.1 billion — a net loss to 
     
     Canada of $1.8 billion. 
     
    

    
     It is clear enough that 
     
     energy in general, and natural 
     
     gas in particular, are going 
     
     to be topics of which we will 
     
     hear a good deal more in the mone 
     
     ths to come. The National ”

     the U.S. owned oil companies 
     
     have been represented at the 
     
     Energy Board hearings — this 
     
     situation apparently well suit- 
     
     ing the Board. For example, 
     
     before the 1970 hearings no 
     
     notice of the hearings was 
     
     printed in any Maritime news—

     Probe is also scheduled to

     Anyone seriously concerned with 
     
     environmental questions, foreign 
     
     ownership or Canadian—American 
     
     relations should be following 
     
     the case of natural gas and oil 
     
     negotiations very closely. More 
     
     hinges on the outcome of these

     those things the individual 
     
     seeks to learn; the individ- 
     
     ual would then confer author— 
     
     ity upon the instructor to 
     
     assist him and to make 
     
     suggestions. Never does he 
     
     tell — never does he subtly 
     
     lead the learning individual 
     
     off his chosen path. The 
     
     instructor ("professor") 
     
     is a servant — he stands 
     
     by waiting to be summoned 
     
     by the learning individual~ 
     
     because of some special 
     
     knowledge or ability he may 
     
     have. This presupposes that 
     
     of course the learning indiv- 
     
     idual is competent to use 
     
     the instructor to his advan— 
     
     tage in this manner. 
     
    

    
     ' On the other hand, if the 
     
     learning individual is unable 
     
     to determine his educational 
     
     course for himself, he will 
     
    
   
   
    
     fall into the trap of having 
     
     someone else determine for him; 
     
     and of course at this point 
     
     there is not real education, 
     
     but just the following of some— 
     
     one else down the paths you 
     
     would not otherwise choose. 
     
    

    
     In this situation you must be 
     
     told what to study, and what 
     
     goals you should pursue. This 
     
     then becomes slavery - and we 
     
     cease to speak of education 
     
     altogether.
