CP Resources Minister Ray Wllliston Indicated Wednesday that British Colum bla and the federal government are still at odds on the mech mechanics ¬ anics of controlling water pollu tlon He spoke at a joint press conference with Otto Lang federal minister without port folio after the two had discussed the proposed Canada Water Act which will be introduced in parliament this fall Mr Wllliston said his earlier opinion that the proposed act would create unneccessary con fusion In water pollution control has been only slightly moder ated He said a great deal more clarification was necessarj be fore he can give a clear cut sjnopsls of federal proposals to the provincial cabinet Asked If federal proposals would prove more useful In Union blamed fighting pollution than the pro vlnces existing laws Mr Wil liston replied To be perfectly honest and forthright the answer is no Mr Lang said the basic lnten tlon of the Canada Water Act would be to get federal and provincial goernments to work together The federal minister is on a t cross country tour to acquaint provincial governments with the proposed act The new act would place the financial burden for cleaning up Canadas lakes and rivers main mainly ¬ ly with municipalities and indus industries ¬ tries which are p r 1 m a r 1 1 y responsible for water pollution He said it was not his inten tlon to evaluate provincial water
