Yesterday - CBC Daybreak-North interviewed Ind. Cariboo-North MLA Bob Simpson involving Burns Lake and the announced decision to rebuild the Hampton Affiliates sawmill there
However - MLA Simpson wonders if we are trading the future of Burns Lake at the expense of other northern BC communities
Listen to the interview here
Meanwhile - with the decision of BC Government House Leader to cancel this fall's sitting of the BC Legislature, MLA Simpson says:
Maybe the BC Legislature should not sit until it is reformed
I do agree with Mr. Simpson that the BC Legislature could use a massive reform to bring it in line with the 21st century to ensure public policy and bills do get proper public scrutinty by way of use of Standing Committees - I would note that both the Ontario Legislature and the Federal Parliament use this process as well
