Knowledge needed Dear Sir: It is apparent that NDP candidate Robin — Austin’s knowledge of forestry and log exports is very limited, yet he feels qualified to criti- . cize policies he knows very little about. How can you focus on health care and education without understanding the wealth creating industries that pay. for those services? -When SCI shut down, the North West Loggers Associ-, ation approached the forest "minister as well as our MLA to seek some relief: Allowing our. local con- tractors the ability to export some of the. ‘logs made it vi- able to operate’ and employ members of our community.

This is a once in a life- _ time chance to participate in democracy like we’ve never seen it. I believe that once Survey Dear Sir: I was just phoned by a representative of Gordon Campbell. They were do- . ing a survey and wanted to know if I thought the Liber- _als were going in the right - direction. The second ques- tion was who I was going to vote for.

We will not get a second chance. If we vote No on May 17 because we believe our current system is the better choice, then so be. it. But if we vote No simply because we were. too lazy to figuré out what the ques-. tion means; then democracy is a bit if they can count on your. support, but to ask out right who I was going to vote for was a bit much. Considering the news about political sponsorships, ‘I might get on a no-business list if Lanswer wrong. This procedure flies in ‘the face of ‘our democratic private way of voting and you to focus on policies that would help local sawmills become more competitive ‘and allow them to grow and add more value. This would create more jobs, provide more - local duce the need to export. The NWLA is open to discuss any forestry issue — with any and all political candidates.
