NOTICE OF PUBLIC WRITTEN QUESTIONS

Monday, February 28

 
3 Adriane Carr, Leader, Green Party of British Columbia, to ask the Minister of Energy and Mines, regarding the Minister's responsibility for Green Energy, the following question: --

Vestas Wind Technology Inc., the largest builder of wind generation machines in the world, is willing to invest millions of dollars to build a factory in Squamish that will create up to 185 full time jobs. But they won't do it unless B.C. Hydro gives a firm commitment to purchase wind generated electricity at a fair price. Will your government require B.C. Hydro to purchase at least 1,000 mw of wind generated electricity at 7 cents per kw (the same price new energy produced by Fossil fuels costs)?

 
4 Barry O'Neill, President, Canadian Union of Public Employees -- BC Division, to ask the Minister of State for Women's and Seniors' Services, regarding the Minister's responsibility for Women's Equality, the following question: --

As the Government Caucus Liaison for Women's Equality, can you tell us what plans (if any) the government has to deal with the increasing gender wage gap in British Columbia?
