PUBLIC WRITTEN QUESTIONS


1 Al Kemp, Chair, Thompson-Nicola Regional District to ask the Hon. the Minister of Water, Land and Air Protection regarding the Minister's responsibility for solid waste management, the following question: --

Rural residents have expressed concern to directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District about their inability to dispose of waste lubricating oil, oil filters and antifreeze in their respective communities and of the apparent lack of enforcement of the Return of Used Lubricating Oil Regulation. Can the Minister responsible for this program please advise as to steps being taken to improve the recycling programs for these products in the rural areas and whether the funds from the Sustainable Environment Fund will be used to support this program?


2 Rolly Hein, Mayor, District of Lake Country to ask the Hon. Minister of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, the following question: --

All farmers in B.C. suffer, due to the world market, due to lack of financial assistance, due to high cost of fuel, due to lack of caring by the same people who rely on farmers to produce their daily food needs. It seems we can help forestry, mining, and private enterprise in "bailouts" but not farmers. The A.L.R. in the minds and hearts of citizens is a good thing because it gives us the green space that makes B.C. supernatural. At the time of initiating the Act, farmers were upset until they were promised by the N.D.P. that financial help would be provided to all farmers whose land was affected by the legislation. Mr. Minister, will this government initiate a financial policy for the well being of all farmers in B.C.?


3 Darrel Wong, President, I.W.A. Canada, Local 2171 to ask the Hon. the Minister of Forests, regarding the Minister's responsibility for the stability of the B.C. forest industry and resource based communities, the following question: --

The U.S. Department of Commerce has levied a 19.3% interim tariff on B.C. (Canadian) Softwood Lumber. Therefore, my question is will the provincial government provide bonds at fair market value to B.C. forest companies that require such bonds in order to continue to operate and provide employment and stability to resource based communities?
