Bennett was accused Wed- " nesday of being ill-iiannered and of in- sulting ‘unemployed workers in the province by saying they are bad British Columbians. Opposition house leader Frank Howard _ told the legislature; that the high number of ‘ unemployed in B.C.’ is the result “of the policies af. that. premier and ‘this govern: ment.” - He called for ani emergency debate to discuss the plight of the unemployed and to discuss the “callous, verbal assault upon those people by this premier.” Social Credit backbencher Bill Reid accused Howard of lying, but he was forced to withdraw the accusation, | Bennett said Howard was quoting out of context remarks made Monday in Surrey- after he announced the $200-million ex- tension of the advanced light rapid transit system from New Westminster to Surrey. - WAS BOOED - When he made the announcement in a shopping mall, Bennett was heckled and booed by members of the Canadian Independent Transit Union protesting bus service cuta in Vancouver and by parents . opposing education cutbacks. Referring to the protesters, Bennett said they were good organizers but bad British Columbians. Outside the legislature, Howard said unemployment in some B.C. communities has reached unheard of levels. His own community of Terrace has a 40 per cent unemployment Fate. ' Statistics Canada figures released earli¢r this month show that unemployment in the province rose .09 per cent to 14.5 per cent. © Earlier.In the legislaiure, Bennett said he finds it significant that people who say they are concerned about unemployment would bood ‘the announcement of an extension of the transit system. .
