INTERESTING TIMES

- The following is taken from Dunsmuir I, the
report from a workshop held in Sidney, B.C. May 1-3,
1991, A group of 38 agencies addressed questions
_ involving a comprehensive provincial land and water
use. strategy. The extract was written by Milt
McLaren, a teacher at Simon Fraser University.

| For the young in B.C. this is an interesting and
often confusing time. The recent Sullivan Commis-
‘gion on Education noted major changes in the nature

of the family. Canada is now approaching the U.S.

statistic of having one in every two marriages end in
divorce. Many more families have both parents
working full time. Many’ more women are in the
work force than at any previous time. People are
working more hours, rather than less, for the same.
amount of purchasing power. The leisure society

which was written about so optimistically in the 50's -

and 60's has at least been. delayed if not postponed
indefinitely.

_ The following is an excerpt from Skeena, MLA |
Helmut Giesbrecht’s inaugural address to the B.C. —

Legislature, March 24, 1992. —

I've had the good fortune to start my. term by
serving on this Legislature’s constitution committee.
We have, during the past months, wrestled with the

ena and its constituents. The north has always been

of geographic application of the trickle-down theory —

that was expressed in this house some days ago. The

theory is that if we feed the corporations enough and.

allow them enough profit, then the average British

jobs are. .

‘the geographic version is that if we pump- more

- areas, then the benefits will trickle down to the

northern half of the province. The farmer’s version of
that theory is that if you feed a horse enough oats,
the sparrow will derive some benefit at the other
end: We in the north are no longer content to be

_ treated like sparrows. I am encouraged by the state-

ment in the Speech from the throne that: "This
government will work to ensure the widest possible
participation the growth of British Columia by people

-in all economic sectors. and regions of this province." ,

Hon. Speaker, I am committed to working with this
government to ensure that this takes place and that
we provide a future for our children. We are tired of
seeing them go south because that’s where the only
