COUNCIL VOTES FOR DELAY

Privati

Zation of

.C,

hignways opposed

THE PRIVATIZATION of the provincial government’s
highways department is proceeding far too rapidly and
should be put on hold pending further studies, according to
North Vancouver City Council.

Council voted unanimously
Monday night to request the gov-
ernment hold off-on privatization
plans until it conducts in-depth
studies of the scheme’s impact,
after Adam Ustik, vice-president
of the B.C. ,Government
Employees Union, described the
plan’s pitfalls from his union’s
Perspective.

Council had also received a let-
ter from the City of Quesnel
decribing its fears about the plan
and urging the city to alert Premier
Bill Vander Zalm of North Van-
couver's concerns,

Although it is unknown when
the North Shore will be privatized,
Vancouver Island highways will be
privately run as of April 1.

“TY support this mation," said
Ald. Rod Clark, ‘“‘but my motive is
not government bashing. | agree
with the sentiment expressed...that
there should be further studies."”

Clark added he doesn't necessar-
ily buy Ustik’s argument that the
highways services will suffer under
private ownership.

Ustik said privatizing the high-
ways will endanger public health
and safety und jeopardize the
public's right to high quality public
services.

He said when profit is included
in the economics of | highway
maintenance, ‘private contractors
will be forced to make; decisions
while torn between the desire for
profit and the need to do one more
clearing run during. a snow
storm,"

Ustik described a situation last
year in which 14 bridges on High-
way 16 (between Prince Rupert
and Jasper, Alberta) washed out
duce to heavy storms ahd flooding.

All the bridges were replaced’in
six days ‘because crews were
“summoned from’ all over the
province to keep: this vital link
open.” He said that kind of coop-
eration would not be possible with
private contractors.

According to Ustik, 72 highway
workers with an‘ annual payroll of

$2.3, million live in. North Van--

couver.. The economic impact of
these jobs is about $110 million.
“Such economic losses are nei-
ther beneficial to us as workers nor
the community businesses as viable

ONE HUNDRED and twenty-one
awards were made during January
under the Criminal Injury Com-

pensation Act.
A 54-year-old West Vancouver

"man was awarded $400. to help

compensate for dental damage and
4 laceration to his lip suffered after
he was attacked and punched in
the mouth by a male assailant.
Under the Criminal Injury
Compensation Act, anyone who is

a victim of crime in the province -

may apply for and receive com-
pensation, bring an action against
2 person or persons, or do both.

Application forms are available .

at any office of the Workers’

Compensation Board, which ad-: °

pay criminal injury compensation

nue fund of B.C., through the
Ministry of the Attorney General
of B.C.

entities,*’ said Ustik.

“The economics just do not
make any sense whatsoever," he
said adding that private contrac-
tors will have additional costs such
as liability insurance and Workers
Compensation Board assessment
fees the government docs not in-
cur.

Insurance costs would be about
$250,000 per year per district.
There are 28 districts under the
government plan,

Quesnel Mayor Michael Pearce
said his council is concerned about
“the decreased. safety,
manitenance and repairing that
would occur if the private sector

were to take on this responsiblity.”’

He added Quesnel is also con-
cerned about a potential loss of
jobs because government
employces will be replaced by large
contractors and employees who do
not live in the area.

Pearce said Quesnel council did
not wish to ‘‘get into a political
fight with the provincial gov-
ernment which it knows it cannot
win, but rather to vocalize its con-
cerns so that more than lip service

was given to this serious issue.’’

Ald, Bill Bell said he doesn’t
want to appear to be government
bashing any more than Aid. Clark,
but said he had to point out the
scheme contradicts its stated pur-
pose.

“There is," he said, ‘‘a tremen-
dous amount of inconsistency on
the part of the government when
the stated purpose is to move the
government closer to the people
but they -haven't consulted the
people on this matter."
