We have to start looking at our other assets, our + ports, our minerals, our energy potential, our agricultural land, We have to find out what the true industrial potential is of our region, which covers an area of over 40,000 square miles, and at what point would we really start to compromise the region in future years. Are we going to let it all go to the lower mainland ahd-bring it back up:here in the.form of finished goods, manufactured with our power and our raw. materials? Or are we going to’ use some. of it up here to - provide opportunities for our children: Some of these questions should be debated and’ addressed now, sO. that . future goals and objectives can be set.

VICTORIA REPORT by FRANK HOWARD Skeena MLA SOE - Whatever happened to Don Phillips? Mr. Phillips is the. MLA for South Peace River and minister of industry and - small business development. Lately he seems to have been shunted to one side and the: high profile cabinet positions taken over by other ministers. _ Evenif we exclude Education Minister Vander Zalm there are still. other’ cabinet ministers: ‘who have. been given — positions of prominence over Mr: Phillips. Now, Mr. Phillips is minister of industry- and one would - expect that he would be involved right up ta the. hilt in® dealing with our economy. Doesn’t it seem logical that the: minister of ‘industry would ‘be right ‘in. there pitching for. -more industry,’ for more jobs? . " . But, it seems as if our premier wants Mr. Phillips to take | a back séat and leave the job creation strategy, whatever it is,to others. Let's look at what the premier. has done with cabinet Cabinet’ committees are essential. and, complex decisions cabinet is required to make.” . ; The premier has also said there are four main working . committees of cabinet, Of those four there are two which. deal with economic and industrial matters; One of thest is . the committee of economic: development. and the other is the committee on employment development. .
