Speech to senior student assembly by Honourable John Napier Turner, M.P., Minister of Finance in the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau. Turner's speech is preceded by introductory remarks by D.G. Hall, Principal of Hillcrest High School, and Ian Curtin, student council co-president. Turner's address focusses on four key economic problems: inflation in Canada and the cost-of-living; unemployment and slow growth of the economy; energy crisis and world oil shortages; and the world economy and the international trade and monetary situation. The speech is followed by a question and answer period. In response to questions, Turner comments on: federal government investment in the Syncrude (Alberta Tar Sands) energy project (question by Steve Coughlan); destruction of surplus eggs by the Canadian Egg Marketing Board; speculation about his possible resignation from the Trudeau Cabinet and Liberal Party leadership ambitions (question by Robert Albota); justification of a $14,000 pay increase (33 1/2%) for Members of Parliament (question by Barbara Ramik); national industrial wage; employment for summer students and government programs for creating summer jobs; energy self-sufficiency; Turner's opposition to mandatory price and wage controls and preference for voluntary consensus to keep inflation levels down; prospects of economic depression and importance of solving Canada's economic problems; surplus of Canadian agricultural produce, Canadian dependence on trade with U.S., Europe and Japan, and vulnerability to world trading markets; Canadian gasoline prices and the export of Canadian oil to U.S. markets and imports from foreign suppliers (question by Joe Louch).
