NOTICE OF QUESTIONS

Thursday, April 21st

38  Mr. Chisholm to ask the Hon. the Premier the following questions:

1. Does the government not feel that the Kemano Completion Project jeopardizes the Fraser River, the last great salmon-spawning river on the entire West Coast?

2. Is the government intending to extend the B.C. Utilities Commission Hearings on the Kemano Completion Project to ensure B.C.'s commercial pacific salmon fishermen have a viable future?

3. How much funding is the government providing to groups such as Sports Fishermen and Aboriginal People who are demanding accountability for the Fraser River Fishery at the B.C. Utilities Commission hearings?

4. Is it the intention of the government to continue providing funding to groups such as Sport Fishermen and Aboriginal People who are demanding accountability for the Fraser River at the B.C. Utilities Commission hearings?

5. Will the government commit to expanding the terms of reference for the B.C. Utilities Commission hearings in order to ensure that Department of Fisheries documents, which detail the impact of reduced water flows on the Nechako and at Hells Gate, receive a thorough public review?

 

39  Mr. Chisholm to ask the Hon. the Attorney General the following questions:

1. Did the Rankin Commission on compensation to Alcan in the event the Kemano Completion Project is scrapped consider the terms of the original 1950 settlement agreement before coming up with a compensation figure of $500 million?

2. How did the Rankin Commission arrive at the figure of $500 million in compensation that Alcan is to receive in the event the Kemano Completion Project is scrapped?

3. What constitutes this proposed figure of $500 million in compensation that Alcan is to receive in the event the Kemano Completion Project is scrapped?
