This resolution was passed at the British Columbia New Democratic Party Convention on Nov. 17: BE IT RESOLVED that an NDP government will: 1. Restore the mandate and role of BC Hydro to operate and develop an integrated public utility including all the administrative and technical functions now outsourced. 2. Develop an alternative energy policy that realistically and accurately establishes our need for new electricity resources under public ownership and oversight and provides true self-sufficiency by allowing our public utility to develop future resources. |
