At 0 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 7, 2005 FORMER SOCIAL Credit Premier Bill Vander Zalm has taken the District: of Kitimat’s side in its dispute with Alcan over how the latter uses the hydroelectric-. ity it generates in the north- west. , . He’s worried Alcan could simply close down its alu- minum smelter in favour of ‘selling all, of its hydro- elec- » tric power. : “For crying out loud ~ Alcan is being allowed seems to be little limit to the amount they can sell and now they're trying to go be- 5) "to sell electricity and there | “yond B.C. Hydro and. sell _ in a Vancouver publication called 24. “And it’s all ‘at the cost of jobs to the people of Kitimat,” he.added. Vander Zalm had earlier written a letter to Kitimat mayor Rick Wozney in sup- port of Kitimat. -Vander, Zalm’s com-. ments fit in with the District of Kitimat’s contention. that power generated by Alcan should be used in Kitimat or the northwest. The district is now ask- ing the provincial supreme court for an interpretation of the original 1950 legislation which provided Alcan. with - power. Alcan’s hydro power comes from the Kenney Dam and is generated at Kemano and then sent to its Kitimat smelter complex. The District of Kitimat” wants the supreme court to agree with its: position that the legislation requires Al- can to use the power in the region. The provincial ‘govern- ment doesn’t agree with the district’s position. Vander Zalm also be- _ lieves he knows why the provincial Liberal govern- ment is permitting Alcan such power sales leeway. have Ex-premier worried about Alcan plans for its northwest power something to do with it, there’s no question about : that,” he said. “That’s another one of the flaws in the system,” he said. “It’s the system that bothers me — we’ve got to change the governance system,” the former premier added. The former premier: has . also been critical of the deci- - « sion to build ferries overseas instead of at home. _ Vander Zalm was the So- cial Credit premier of B.C: from 1986 until being forced to step down because of a conflict of interest in 1991.
