By GLENN WERKMAN Review Staff Writer Pat Carney took time out from a busy Treasury Board portfolio to throw her support behind Pat Crofton, the Pro- gressive Conservative associa- tion’s re-elected candidate and only nomination. Crofton,’ who was first elected in the September. 1984 election, proimised to keep the people of Saanich/Gulf.

I have to hear from you, so write to me.”’ Crofton said he had received numerous calls from people upset about Bill C-72, the of- ficial language act. ‘It?s an unexplained issue,’’ he said. ‘‘In a perfect world Bill C-72 would vanish, never to be seen again. ‘But it’s not a perfect world, and it’s not going to vanish,’’ he said. ‘‘We are a bilingual coun- try, like it or not.”’ Crofton admitted the language bill has ‘‘some language that is so _ loosey- goosey it can be interpreted any number of a 100 ways.”’ It remains to be seen if the final document will meet with his approval, he said. . Another of four issues of na- tional interest Crofton spoke of was the Meech Lake Accord. “It was but the beginning,’’ he ‘said. ‘‘Politics is compromise. All of us would like to see senate reform.”’ He indicated that the Meech Lake Accord has to go through or it. will be the 21st century before the whole country will _ discuss the subject as one. Nuclear powered submarines are a vital need in the Canadian Armed Forces, Crofton said. ‘*] belive they are warranted he said. ‘It remains to be seen how af- fordable they will be.’’ —T feel we can deal with itina_ rt ballot over Elizabeth Woods, Jack’ Woodward. and _ Irene Wright. . “It was a fair fight,” Hunter said. ‘‘It shows we were all out there-seriously trying to win the support of party members.”’ Hunter took the lead from. the start with 108 votes. Her closest competitor took 64 votes. “*It.was all ‘in the first ballot. with other . ‘committees, like é finance, membership . and -Organization, " ae B.C: Liberals - have one “organization in- the province: “If you’re a member. of the par-: -you .belong to it. .both .federally . and ‘provincially,” said Tanner.

About 1.2 million jobs have been created in Canada, about 145,000 of them in B.C., she said. She sees traditional jobs on the Island disappearing. to be replaced by high-tech industries like communications, financial management, transportation, engineering and other services.
