The

the

"Negotiations
have
begun,
but
so

we
don't

what
they
want,"
a

said.
"All
we
know
is
that

has
been
made,"
He
added
that
the
embassy
has
no
information
on
the
condition
of
the

A

There
is
some
confusion
today
as
to
who
will
be
attending
an
eleventh-hour
meeting
Wednesday
in
Victoria
between
Vancouver
Island
and
Interior
egg
producers
and
the
B.C.
Egg
Marketing
Board
and
governing
B.C.

Producers
earlier
this

gave
provincial
Agriculture
Minister
Don
Phillips
till
Wednesday
to
restructure
the
B.C.
Egg
Marketing
Board
to
include
voting
representation
from
the
northern
interior.
Producers
said
they
would
withhold
levies
to
the
board
if
action
was
not
taken
and
put
the
money
in'
a
trust
fund.
In
addition,

representative
Don

and

Peter

have

against

either
a

SAFETY
ISSUE
UNRESOLVED
OTTAWA
(CP)
Air

was
expected
to
get
back
to
normal
quickly
today
following
an
announcement
that
the
federal
government,
pilots
and
air.
traffic
controllers
have
agreed
to
work
together
to
study
the
safety
of
bilingual
air
communications
in
Quebec.
But
Ken
Maley,
president
of
the
2,000-member
Canadian
Air
Line
Pilots
Association
(CALPA),
whose
mem-bers
have
refused
to
fly
for
the'
last
nine
days,
said
he
still
believes
that
bilingual
air
communication
is
less
safe
than
unilinguai
communication
and
his
association
will
do
its
best
to
prove
it.
The
pilots
will
be
given
a
chance
to
make
their
point
before
a
three-man
commission
established
by
the
federal
government.
The
third
member
Judge
D.V.
Heald
of
the
Federal
Court
of
Canada
was
agreed
upon
during
weekend
negotiations
among
the
pilots,
the
air
traffic
controllers
and
Transport
Minister
Otto
Lang.
Judge
Heald
joins
Mr.
Justice
W.R.
Sinclair
of
the
Alberta
Supreme
Court
and
Mr.
Justice
JulienChouinard
of
the
Quebec
Superior
Court
who
were
named
last
week.
The
commission
will
review
results
of
technical
studies
now
being
conducted
by
the
federal
transport
department
using
a
simulator
which
creates
conditions
similar
to
the
air
traffic
control
situation
in
the
Montreal
area.
The
department
wants
to
introduce
bilingual
communication
for
instrument
flight-(large
aircraft)
landings
at
Dorval
and
Mirabel
airports.
Free
vote
Mr.
Lang
said
the
commission
will
report
to
Parliament
within
90
days
of
the
completion
of
the
technical
studies
and
that
there
will
be
a
free
vote
in
Parliament
on
the
report.
The
terms
of
reference
of
the
inquiry
call
for
the
commission
members
to
present
a
unanimous
report.
Mr.
Maley
said
his
association
has
reserved
the
right
to
attach
its
own
report
to
that
of
the
commissioners
if
they
are
in
disagreement
and
he
stressed
that
CALPA's
only
commitment
was
to
participate
in
the
study.
Asked
if
this
meant
the
dispute
was
merely
being
postponed,
he
replied:
"I
would
hope
not
but
it
could
be."
Meanwhile,
the
Federal
Court
adjourned
in
Ottawa
to
July
12
a

The

today
to
set
the
date
for
an
industry-wide
lockout
of
British

Chuck
McVeigh,
association
president,
entered
the
meeting
hopeful
that
a
settlement
can
be
worked
out
with
the
construction
unions
and
a
total

averted
before
the

is
over,
"There
are
probably
some,
moves
being
made
that
could
open
the
way
to
a
settlement",
said
Mr.
McVeigh,
although
he
declined
to
go
into
any
details.
If
the
moves
do
not
take
place,
and
if
"the
pieces
don't
fall
into
place",
a
total
shutdown
could
come
by
week's
end,
Mr.
McVeigh
said.
"We
are
still
trying
to
work
our
way
through
this."
The
problem
has
been
that
the
top-paid
mechanical
trades
have
been
seeking
a
percentage
settlement
that
would
widen
their
differential
over
other
groups.

The
