THE LACK of consultation by the government before imposing all-night ferry service for the summer between Horseshoe Bay and Nanaimo took the spotlight Monday in the legislative questicn period. - ' ; ; BS West Vancouver-Garibaldi Lib- ; Visit our convenient location eral MLA David Mitchell clashed with Finance Minister Glen Clark, accusing him of reneging on a promise to consult with those af- ‘fected by the.plan, which was an- nounced last week. Mitchell, who is also the Op- position house leader, tried several times to get a response from Clark about the lack of consultation, and on each occasion, the finance minister avoided the question. - Instead, Clark accused the Lib- eral party of being opposed ‘‘to this service innovation.”’ He said people who live on Vancouver Island ‘‘deserve better service, and we are trying to (pro- vide) that in the most cost-effi- * cient manner.”” _ The minister responsible for the ferry corporation told the house that the NDP ‘‘has a mandate to operate in the public interest, (and) we are going to work with the communities affected to en- sure that we mitigate as best we can, any detrimental effect to Horseshoe Bay.”” Mitchell said he was not sur- prised at the non-answers from the finance minister. “*f am not surprised, because there was no consultation. Would the minister commit today to put- ting the policy on hold and taking a second look, before charging By John Pifer From Victoria ahead? “Would the minister give the people of Horseshoe Bay and Nanaimo a chance to express their legitimate concerns? Would the minister do what he promised?”’ asked Mitchell. Clark declined to answer Mit- chell’s questions. He did say, however, that West Vancouver Mayor Mark Sager attended a meeting with ferry corporation members on Monday. “Clearly they are not happy,”’ the minister told the legislature. Clark called the round-the- clock sailings a 75-day experiment that would be reviewed for its value and effectiveness. Outside the house, Mitchell said the government’s approach on all-night sailings ‘‘is ready, fire, then aim. Consultation takes place after the fact, and that’s why people are upset. “In fact, people in West Van- couver and Nanaimo are outraged over this, We (the Liberals) are not opposed to the idea, but we are in favor of a Crown corpora- tion being accountable and responsible to a community in which it operates. B.C. Feeries is not being either.”” Mother’s Love Worldwide Floral Fresh Locally Mother’s Day is SUNDAY May 10th Thank Mom with Flowers! WEST VAN FLORIST LTD 1821 MARINE DRIVE, WEST VANCOUVER, B.C.
