the province ‘and the govern- ment's determination to stream- line and regionalize hospital and health services, mutual coopera- tion and not ‘circling the wag- ons’ was the only logical approach to the whole situation.

Another guest speaker Ross- land-Trail MLA_Ed Conroy spoke about the economy and the direction it is taking.

He was enthusiastic about the positive impact of the new Cel- gar plant on the environment and the economics of the region and of the boost to the area of the 1996 Summer Games, with 4,200 athletes and coaches which will impact Castlegar, Trail and area.

“I'm looking forward to showing off our beautiful coun- try.” he said

However,Heat catied the document “highly inflationary”, saying the government is dealing with public debt the wrong way.

“The only way to deal with this is to truly deal with the costs of government services,” Heal said. “I think business has found

charges to business are simply a way Of allocating Costs fairly.

“One of the things that the budget talks about is the user-pay system,” * Evans said.

“We're trying to bring that into place as much as we can.”

According to the budget, the provincial deficit will drop to

S89X million from $1.2.biDion last veur. The overall publi debt. including that for schools, univer- sities, health care and Crown cor- Purations will nse by $2 billion to $27.4 billion ‘

Heal said those numbers don't add up, adding the government is being condesc¢hding to the pub- lic, “They're trying to address the citizens like they have a Grade 2 education,” he said,

But, Evans disagreed with critics of the government: "What we're trying to do is reduce the deficit at a good, logical rate’ ... without affecting the health of the economy of B.C,"

He said cutting further and faster would put more people on welfare and ultimately increase the economic burden on the province. “If there’s suggestions (for cutting) out there, I'd like to hear them,” Evans said. “I would like to do better, but I need ideas.”
