“The past. three years in

Parker. “I thought that the two

Parker has no information as

ferries to Bella Bella, -

roll-on, roll-off and extensive
cargo and freight capacities. A
higher volume of freight move-
ment is expected to be of
economic benefit to the entire
region. :

With Rita Johnson, Minister
of Highways, he plans to pursue
the concept of a Marine
Highway by ferry. It would
benefit the coastal communities
of Klemtu, Bella Bella and
Hartley Bay as well as boosting
tourism, residential and com-
mercial travel. He does not see

* an adverse effect to the present

Prince Rupert-Port Hardy run,
which is successfully oriented to
tourism and of small benefit to
local residents.

**Believé it or not,’ he said,
“‘the people of Bella Bella only
have service on the northbound
trip of the ferry. If you send a
machine to be repaired to Prince
Rupert, it is picked up on the

northern trip. But to be re-

turned, it has to go south to Port

Hardy and then to Bella Bella on

the next northbound ferry.’’
When questioned about the

‘Native land claims issue, Parker

said that the province is com-
mitted to working with the
federal government, and the
comments should be made by
Jack Weisgerber, Minister of
Native Affairs and Attorney-
General Bud’ Smith. He

’ reiterated ‘that this’ Was'thé"inost

pro-active provincial ' govern-
ment since Confederation, with
the first ‘‘stand-alone’’ Ministry
of Native Affairs and a premier
who has met personally with
native leaders and people, as
demonstrated by his recent trip
to the Nass Valley.

Regarding recent televised
comments from Jim Fulton,

discuss the blockades, Parker
said he had no phone call from

Fulton and. was in Val d’Or,

Quebec that weekend at a

meeting of northern develop-

ment ministers from across
Canada, —

The concept of the northern
university is exciting, he said,
and appears to be high priority
with the appointment of Prince
George MLA Bruce Strachan as
Minister for Advanced Educa-
tion.

At present, Parker says he is
working to eliminate all level
crossings on Highway 16, and
for a second railway overpass or
a highway bypass for Terrace.
This is the middle of the final
stages of budget reviews and the
caucus will be examining each
minister’s budget proposals. He
expects to have a strong input
for northern concerns.

Parker says that he is happy to
be in anything but forestry. Asa
professional forester, he trained
to research and to deal with
facts, not perceptions. In the
politics of the forests portfolio,
he found people were interested
in perception, not facts.

“You have to find your own
way,’ Parker said, when asked
to sum up his experience as a

politician. ‘‘] trained for most of

my life to be a forester. I had to
learn to be a politician, an MLA

and a Cabinet minister over-—

night. You have to learn by talk-
ing to your colleagues. and to
your constituents,

“IT still have personal opin-
ions,”’ he said, ‘‘and J still like
to deal with facts. But I don’t
share them in public as much.’’
