In January 1987, when the ECA elected a new Democrat Evans told the founding meeting of the Castlegar chapter, joining a chorus of speakers calling on the public to reject the idea presented by some of their elected officials that the sale was a foregone conclusion, “You people sitting in this room are fighting-for all people of Canada,” Evans said.

Testifying at the BCUC hemos | in Trail in November, the Conservative MP said the sale “would breathe life into the community.” That position, as well as Brisco’s subsequent reluctance to intervene with Investment Canada, angered ECA members like Killough who felt their MP in Ottawa had refused to repre- sent their interests and feelings in the matter. When Brisco lost his seat in 1988, many felt his position on WKP sale had cost him his political career. Soon after, to the further out- rage of the electric consumers, Investment Canada approved the sale of WKP to UtiliCorp on Christmas Eve. Killough, who continued to phone his MP in Ottawa on the pre- holiday morning, later remembered that Brisco pleasantly chatted about the blizzard conditions in the nation’s capital that day and family Christmas shopping but said it would be interfer- ence to intervene with the federal review agency on the WEP sale. After the federal approval, the local consumers group was quick to point out that the government was breaking a promise made by former energy minister Marcel Masse who said no viable Canadian company valued at more than $5 mil- lion would be sold abroad. And others d BOB BRISCO -.-Supported sale and you might as well sell the whole here country. As the head of the Council of Canadians, Hertig also offered the electric consumers help with paying legal expenses incurred in the hearings, becoming an easy ally for ECA activists like Castlega Killough who, after his di: pointment with elected politi- cians, began to call on Hertig in continued efforts to stop the sale. For several more months, the ECA carried its battle cry, “The future of Canada is at stake,” locally and nationally. They became known as “the flag wavers.” It was a flight they lost. In the summer of 1987, the BCUC ruled in favor of the sale, imposing a long list of conditions on UtiliCorp as a compro- mise for the critics of the sale who had warned that the sale would set a dangerous precedent for ownership of essential services in Canada. After one more unsuccessful legal battle — to have the BCUC decision overruled in court - the sale was finally completed in the first week of September 1987. The ECA retreated into a watchdog role, promising to fight again another day.

It would not be fund- ed by government but funded by labor and management and staffed by them.” Sihota said an NDP govern- ment wouldn’t play favorites. with labor. “We don't intend to take leg- islation that is tilted now towards business and tilt it towards labor,” he said. {It’s got to be fair and even handed and it has got to enjoy the confid: ters, Sihota said most of his frustration stems from the lack of attention paid to the s of all the parties it purports to legislate. “And from an investment point of view, the objective of the legislation is to create some stability in economic affairs and move away from the sense of instability that has character. ized British Columbia over the past.” Turning to other labor mat dards Act, leg- islation that covers non-union workers, or 60 per cent of the working population. “People have to understand that Employment Standards is as, if not more, important than Bill 19,” he said.

Brummet resigned over the cancellation of dual entry which started while he was education minister. “I would say in talking to ministry people this week that they feel disappointed,” Andrews said. “It’s a wonderful program and they’re really frightened that the removal of dual entry will be the demise of the program. And I think every- body believes that the program itself is very good for the chil- dren.” However, Adams said she thinks the decision will be well received by teachers. “From my contact with pri- mary teachers I think they will be relieved that dual entry has been removed,” she said. “I don’t Eight ing devices.

It’s much easi- er for a class to absorb just one child.” Andrews said dual entry was created mostly in response to a study that indicated parents wanted some flexibility in entry dates. “And it was also an attempt, I think, to stop us from looking at children in age groups and grades,” Andrews said. “I think the government had hoped the dual entry would force us to look MORY Services. of sympathy.
