PUBLIC WRITTEN QUESTIONS
The Hon. T. Nebbeling replied as follows:
Thank you for the question.
It is important to note that public opinion polling conducted by the 2010 Bid Corporation has consistently shown that a majority of British Columbians across the province already support the Olympic Bid. Our government shares the view of many British Columbians that our bid for the Games is a tremendous opportunity to showcase our province internationally and to show the world that BC is open for investment and ready to lead again.
As you also stated that there was nothing about the Olympic Bid in the BC Liberal Party's election platform, please let me draw your attention to page ten of our election campaign's New Era for British Columbia document, which clearly states that a BC Liberal government will "agressively support and champion BC's bid to host the 2010 Winter Olympics."
Thank you for your interest on this matter.
