Private car insurance not

any cheaper, review finds

THE Consumers’ Association of Canada (CAC), B.C., reviewed car insurance rates in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto, only to come to the conclusion that private insur- ance wouldn’t be cheaper then ICBC’s public system.

Bruce Cran, president of CAC, said private insurance companies in Toronto can offer cheaper rates to drivers be- cause of ‘no fault” insurance, This may lead to cheaper in- surance rates, Cran said, but when ICBC tried to imple- ment a similar ‘no fault’ clause it was rejected by British Columbians. ,

Cran also added that insurance in Calgary is cheaper be- cause it has a smaller population than Vancouver. B.C.: also puts out more money For repairs and injuries then Cal- gary, so that would also account for higher rates, Cran said,

Small business gets wood

RESULTS show the province followed through on its promises to make much more wood available to small in- dependent producers last year.

Total sales to producers through the small business enter- prise program were 4.9 million cubic metres — 10 per cent more than the target and 83 per cent more than the pre- vious year,

Under the province's forest action plan, forests minister Dave Zimhelt had vowed to help diversify the valuc-added industry by putting more timber into the hands of small business operators.

Forest sector lost $1.1 billion in ’98

THE FOREST industry’s biggest fear is that after losing $1.1 billion in 1998 firming prices now will ease pressure for fundamental testructuring, says Council of Forest Industries presi- dent Ron MacDonaid.

Radical changes to the way the industry = is organized here is still re- quired despite promising first quarter results for some companies, he said.

“’m very worried that everyone will throw their hands up in the air and say it’s all okay, that industry is going to be alright.”

Without long-lasting changes to reduce the high cost of production in B.C., producers here will remain susceptible to future market downturns, he said.

“IE we as a province hope to reap the benefits of our greatest and most renewable natural resource we cannot continue to be the highest cost producer in Canada,’’ MacDonald said.

Tax reform, a more results-based Forest Prac- tices Code, and a public debate over major changes like tenure reform are

needed, he said,

A Pricewater- houseCoopers study released last week con- firmed net industry opera- tional losses of $336 million last year, coupled with an- other $721 million in mill closures, writedowns and other recorded losses,

The industry Jost 5,850 jobs, reducing the number employed to 91,400 in 1998,

Both lumber and pulp sec- tors recorded operational losses. The amount of log- ging conducted fell 5.6 per cent from 1997 to 64.8 mil- lion cubic metres.

The industry’s debt load grew more than 10 per cent to $7.4 billion.

Capital investment by the industry was al its lowest

level since 1986,

The industry’s retum on capilal was -3.9 per cent, down from +1.4 per cent in 1997.

Logging costs did decline somewhat in 1998, down to $79 per cubic metre from $88. Lower stumpage ac- counted for only some of the drop, however, with most of it due to reduced logging in high-cost areas,
