Question from the public on BC Rail. When will we get some answers? What about Patrick Kinsella? What about the Premier’ s Promise?

Carole Millar offers the BC Liberal non-answer: “That is before the courts.” The hall erupts with jeering and cat calls. NDP’s Dawn Black enters the fray, strongly condemning the BC Liberals and reminding everyone that the Premier promised not to sell the railway: “This stinks and the Premier needs to come clean. ”

Agreeing, BC Green Party’s Matthew Laird states: “This cronyism is not new.” He offers a perfect segue to call for a yes-vote to BC-STV. “Government accountability in this province depends on this.” Big applause.

This topic has so far been the most resonant with the folks here.
