It is our understanding that unless, and until, approval by your Commission of the sug- gested changes necessary from this application is forthcoming, they may not be initiated. However, we get the distinct im- pression that CBC, and par- ticularly local management, feel the new plan is a ‘‘fait accompli’ and are acting accor- dingly. The plan has been publicly announced from Vic- toria by senior management of- ficials of the CBC, and official recognition given to the Prince Rupert station manager, as author, for his significant con- tribution to the final document. Incidentally, we understand that he may be responsible for im- plementation of the recommen- dations if and when they are approved by your body. While the local attitude is of concern tO us, there are other matters that seem. to -indicate ‘that in the opinion of CFPR.and CBC the decision of the CRTC will be automatic — as though CBC had prior approval. For in- stance, the Pacific Region of Public Works Canada, on November 30, 1987 advised the City of Prince Rupert that cer- tain properties, including the station manager’s residence, the studio office building and addi- tional vacant properties could be declared, ‘‘surplus in the near future’. They were enquiring to - ascertain if the City would be in- terested in the acquisition of these properties, ‘‘in the event that a higher level of. govern- ment does not express interest."’ In addition, on-site inspection | Learnin your . _ Spare time FATLUALONUERANASAODEAUNGEASFAUERSERUOUEAG EAE OOLOAQUNSEONGUSEAUBQEGOGOSRROUSOCGESONZOSUSREOADOO UOSUOFUSOOSSADENSOODASBNUQEIOUTETUONNONNERIIENI Stay abreast of today’s high technology by taking our self-paced, individualized computer- managed electronics program Please contact: Northwest Community College Terrace Campus for further information 635-6511, of potential rental space in Prince George has been made by our local CBC management, and senior officials from Vancouver have been flown north to ad- dress meetings and outline the plan. oo | As a committee, with a com- mitment to retain more than a token repeater station in Prince Rupert, we do not object to the CBC presenting its case but we — do object most strenuously to their publicized attitude that we have been misinformed, don’t know what we are talking about and that in expressing our con- cemns about the drastic down- grading of the Prince Rupert facility which has been in opera- tion since 1944, that we are depriving the rest of British Col- umbia of proper CBC program- ming. While we will continue to gather support, which so far has been overwhelming, for reten- tion of local facilities, we would appreciate your assurance that our efforts in this connection will be given your serious con- sideration in rendering your decision.
