of monopolies and _ that he favors free trade and

more autonomy for
jocal governments in
their daily operations.

Davis, addressing the
North Shore chapter of the
Vancouver Business and
Professonal Women's Club,
promised to forge ahead
with a program in Victoria
that ‘would see the gov-
ernment pay for a portion of
an individual’s wages at
various companies and, at
the same time, slow down
the distribution of large
government contracts to
selected companies.

“*We should give the indi-
vidual a break, instead of
giving the large corporations
subsidies. to stimulate
everything,’’ said Davis.

The. MLA advocated the

selling of parts of B.C.
Hydro, such as the profitab-
le gas side, and said that ma-
jor projects being conducted
by the CNR and the CPR, as
well as Alcan’s plans to
“build another Kitimart,’’
would offset B.C. Hydro's
lessening activities in recent
years.

‘“‘Bigness may be in-
evitable but it had better be
policed in the interests of the
people,”’ said Davis.

The MLA criticized the
recent establishment of the
Ministry of International
Trade and Investment. -

“We're doing that wrong
in Victoria,’ said Davis,
questioning whether the
B.C.-run . ministry could
adequately represent Canada
as a whole.

Davis said he favored free
trade zones, but he told the
audience that in order to
have effective zones, it
would be necessary to ‘‘wipe
out’ such laws as the mini-
mum wage law, along with
the unemployment insurance
checxoff, import duties and
pollution requirements.

“But organized labor
would be against that, as
would some businesses,
because it creates unfair
competition. So | have dif-
ficulty with that concept,”
said Davis, adding that since
free trade zones are an in-
ternational concern, that the
federal government would be
responsible for any of the
regulation...

And, he added, because
Canada is made up of dil-

lower taxes generally.
