couver-Garibaldi MLA David Mitchell charged Friday.

BC Rail, a Crown corporation,
announced Friday that it had ac-
quired 100% of the shares of
neighboring Vancouver Wharves
for $15.75 million.

But Mitchell said the move will
result in BC Rail competing
against the public sector.

And he added that many people
in his riding have raised concerns
over the purchase.

Mitchell said the New Demo-
cratic government is “running
amok” in the private sector.

‘It is extremely inappropriate
for a publicly owned Crown cor-
poration to be aggressively enter-
ing into competition in other areas
of the private sector,’’ said Mit-
chell.

He added that the provincial
government is using Crown cor-
porations as active agents of pro-
vincial development to meet, what
he called, its socialist ambitions.

He also questioned what benefit
the public will receive by BC
Rail’s) purchase of Vancouver
Wharves,

“As taxpayers, we are also
shareholders in these Crown cor-
porations.

“We should demand that the
government explain how an intru-
sion into the business world, such
as BC Rail’s: purchase of Van-
couver Wharves, will benefit: the
public,’’ said Mitchell.

But North Vancouver-Lonsdale
NDP MLA David Schreck, in
whose riding both BC Rail and
Vancouver Wharves are located,
said the purchase of
terminal will guarantee
supplies and contracts.

“BC Rail leases land to Van-
couver Wharves. With the finan-
cial backing of BC Rail, it) will
open up more job opportunities,”
said Schreck. ‘‘Who could

possibly suffer is beyond me.”’

BC Rail spokesman Barrie Wall
said it will be ‘business as usual’’
at Vancouver Wharves.
