NORTH VANCOUVER MLA Angus Ree has
again attacked ICBC but he has revealed that in a
report that has yet to be given to the government
that ICBC is said to be ‘‘effective and efficient.’’

By NIGEL HORSLEY

Ree, speaking to his
Capilano constituents at a
weekend breakfast meeting,
stated: ‘‘I’m still adverse to
ICBC because as a Crown
Corporation it is a function
the private sector can
provide.

‘*l don’t believe Govern-
ment should be providing ser-
vices that the private sector
can provide.

“‘] sat on the Committee
on Crown Corporations for
the last years and on the sub-
committee and with = par-
ticular respect to ICBC we
did quite a review on it and at
the moment, as chairman of
the committee, I have a big
report to finalize and file
with the Legislature,’’ stated
Ree.

“It basically found ICBC
was fairly effective and effi-
cient and I can’t knock itt.
Many things they do like any
large monoply aren’t as good
as they should be. You'll find

fault if you look for fault.

‘*But in essence, they were
effective and efficient. As far
as being a money machine |
don’t think they should be
there to make money off of a
selected group of the com-
munity that is the motorists.

**They should be breaking
even,’’ commented Ree.

‘‘They have the ability to
make money because they are
the sole persons that set the
rates. So in essence I'm
adverse to ICBC."’

Ree said he was also
against the recent proposal to
have no-fault insurance.

‘‘I'm definitely against it
not because they think the
saving on legal fees will pay
for the no-fault insurance
because I have taken up the
battle against lawyers from
time to ume and I’m not sym-
pathetic to them.

“‘T think you'll lose a lot of
your benefits,"” he warned.

Ree said the benefits were
far too broad for such a
select group and that another
major problem would be the

attitude such a proposal
engenders that attutude of
‘*someone’s going to look
after us we don’t care about
other peopie’’.

Ree concluded: ‘‘] think if
we're going to have no-fault
insurance that attitude will
become worse and it'll cost us
more in the long run.’’
