He added that the Social Credit move to increase water licence fees in the past two years has taken “a lot more money out of the mining industry than the NDP royalities ever did.” And he noted that water licences are similar to roy- alties in that they tax the | cost of production rather than profits. As well, D'Arcy pointed out that the NDP paper was based on corisultation with . the Mining Association of B.C. in order to assure the industry that the NDP policy will remain stable and “we're not not going to change the goal posts” if the party is elected. and Already the Castlegar Selkirk Lions have donated more than $200,000 toward the Kinnaird Park.
