A7 - Wednesday, April 21, 1982 - North Shore News Dear Editor: I recently released a 40- page proposal for economic recovery in British Columbia. Our economic program for recovery pays particular attention to forestry, housing, small business, vocational training and student employment, tourism and community development. the food industry, and mining. These new measures would create some 43,000 jobs, and cost the treasury approximately $309 million. I have proposed 26 specific undertakings, and have been extremely gratified by the positive response of the business and labour sector. Everyone wants. British Columbia to “get back to work”, regardless of politics.
