Council deferred a decision to support the BCGEU at its Feb. 8 meeting because the provincial government hadn’t answered their questions on privatization, A belated reply from Highways Minister Stephen Rogers receiv- ed on Feb. 17 was considered to be inadequate.

As such,'1 am confident existing maintenance standards can be adhered to or possibly even strengthened as a result of privatization.”’

Rogers also attached a brochure to his letter describing the benefits and implementation of privatization, but the total
