Lea was reacting to the suspension of construction on the BCR Dease Lake extension and Anti-[nflation Board’s approval of a 10 to 30 per cent increase in Rivtow Strait's freight shipping rates. He said Thursday the two announcement combined are likely to hamper north coast development for years to come. “Scandalous, bloody scan- dalous,’’ he said when informed of the RivTow Ltd. frieght in- crease approval. He said the AIB was breaking the moral intent of its own law by allowing such large In- creases. ‘With increases like that, how does the government expect working people on the coast to exercise any measure of restraint in wage demands,” He added the cost. of doing business will be higher for those companies . requiring stock from the lower mainland and the consumer's will pick up - the tab.
