P3 plan stays active Mission doesn’t act on Abby’s request Kevin MILLS Abbotsford News

Mission council has declined a request to send a letter to P3 Partnerships Canada in support of Abbotsford’s bid to develop an additional water source at Stave Lake. Mission staff, who recommended council grant the request, said the letter isn’t an endorsement, but an acknowledgement that Mission would not object to allowing services in the district’s right-of-ways. “Our position is very clear; we don’t support the P3 project,” said Mission Mayor James Atebe. Not wanting to prejudice further planning and con-

If the cities decided to build it as a P3 project, the federal government could provide up to 25 per cent funding (about $72 million). However, protests against the concept of a public-private partnership convinced Mission council to vote against the plan. Abbotsford chose to proceed solo with the P3 project on a slightly smaller scale ($284 million). Kyle said PPP Canada has received the city’s proposal and is currently looking over the business plan. “They have ... barraged us with questions.” PPP Canada is set to discuss the application during its June 8 board meeting and Kyle expects to have an answer by the end of June.

Abbotsford Police Insp. Kevin Wright asks for a volunteer from the Clearbrook Elementary school audience. Pace Loewen is brought to the front of the crowd, and Wright asks him to rip a piece of paper in half, followed by a newspaper and a magazine. Then Wright produces a YellowPages phone book. Pace tries to tear it, and when he can’t, Sgt. Mike Novakowski steps forward. The officer is given a one-minute time limit, in which he aptly destroys three closed phone books one after another. The kids cheer wildly. Novakowski uses the demonstration – held Tuesday morning at Clearbrook Elementary – to address the value of inner strength. It’s part of the Operation Acorn program now making the rounds at local elementary schools. “Just like you exercise your muscles, you have to exercise your inner strength. By doing that, you can have a good life,” he says. The new initiative is an offshoot of the Abbotsford Police Department’s Operation Impact anti-gang talks, which were previously presented to secondary and middle school students. While Operation Impact took a more hard-core approach to the issues of crime and gang activity, Operation Acorn’s focus is on kindness and making good choices. Continued on A6

Novakowski – the creator of the “Operation” series – talks to the kids about the importance of being kind to themselves and others. Another demonstration involves a group of about a dozen kids passing a smaller student through a makeshift “window” as if rescuing him from an emergency situation. Novakowski tells the stu-

dents that, just like the boy was physically lifted by others, they can be uplifting with their words and actions. Near the end of the talk, he presents an acorn to the crowd, saying he found it while out on a walk one day. “Inside this little acorn is a seed with the promise of becoming a mighty oak ... Inside of every one of you is the promise of doing something great in your life.”

After the presentation, Grade 5 student Bobby Grewal said he found the talk “inspiring” because he wants to be a police officer one day. He said he learned that “you don’t have to be cool to be important; you just have to be yourself.” Nav Jalan, also in Grade 5, said he came away with similar information. “I learned to be kind and to be safe,” he said.

Less reason to axe HST Is a two per cent cut to the HST sufficient to keep the tax reform measure alive after June’s referendum? The B.C. Liberals are hoping so. Announced Wednesday, along with annual rebate cheques for each child and low-income senior, the “fixes” mean all income brackets will be better off under the HST than with the old provincial sales tax structure, according to finance minister Kevin Falcon. The current low-income rebates would continue to be paid, and $175 transition cheques would go to parents for each child under 18, and some seniors as well. Single seniors earning up to $40,000 a year would get the entire $175, and a partial payment for incomes up to $43,500. Senior couples would receive $175 for a combined income up to $40,000 and a partial payment up to a $50,000 income. The measures do remove much of the argument against the HST, albeit

over three years, with the first one per cent cut occurring in July of next year. Including the rebates, the impact of the HST will be largely negated for the income brackets ostensibly least able to absorb an additional tax burden. And according to the government, the statistically average family will see an overall tax reduction of about $120 per year when the HST rate reaches 10 per cent. In the meantime, the HST has the potential to do what it was intended to do, which is to boost the economy by reducing costs to business, and encouraging investment and job creation. It makes little sense to return to an antiquated, multi-layered tax system – other than to “punish” the government for the manner in which it rolled out its tax reform policy. To do so might yield superficial satisfaction for some, but eliminates the prospect of long-term economic benefit for all.

HST debate heats up as vote nears Tom

Fletcher

B.C. Views My feedback on the harmonized sales tax debate is running hotter as taxpayers await Premier Christy Clark’s “bold” changes to the tax, due to be revealed any day. In response to several angry readers, I will restate what I had hoped was obvious by now. All but the poorest consumers (myself included) are paying more tax under the HST than they were under the old provincial sales tax. The richest pay by far the most. The “embedded” PST has been removed from many products, but evidence isn’t yet clear that this is being passed on to consumers, as economists predict. What is clear is that businesses are beneﬁting. What is still in dispute is what businesses are helped most. Doug Donaldson, the NDP MLA for Stikine, objected to my statement last week that he was wrong about the HST

beneficiaries being “Liberal donor corporations.” So again I will state the obvious, that forest, mining and other resource companies donate to the B.C. Liberals. (The NDP is on record as wanting to increase corporate income and capital taxes.) Donaldson goes wrong when he specifies “corporations” rather than small business. Consider the forest industry. Over the past 20 years the entire B.C. industry contracted out its harvesting operations, based on the well-tested principle that independent contractors are more efficient than inflexible, strikeprone major forest operators. That has been a painful process, not just economically but in terms of worker safety. But it’s exactly the kind of global-market shift that is being imposed on B.C. As mentioned last week, you may not like that, but you shouldn’t believe those who try to pretend it’s not happening. And those big “corporations” had their major machinery and equipment exempted from sales tax long before the HST. It’s the small contractors who are now getting the benefit. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston notes that anyone can incorporate for tax pur-

poses. It’s common for doctors, dentists and lawyers such as Ralston. But is it practical to expect the owner-operator of a logging truck to do that? The independent truck drivers I’ve met are more concerned about paying their next fuel bill than hiring a lawyer

The independent truck drivers I’ve met are more concerned about paying their next fuel bill than hiring a lawyer... to incorporate them. Increasingly it is immigrants who drive trucks, out-working the resident population to get ahead as immigrants have always had to do. Speaking of immigrants, the situation in Vancouver real estate is worth noting. One of the things HST was supposed to severely depress was high-end new housing, now subject to the seven-percent provincial portion of HST once the prices exceeds $525,000.

What has happened? Offshore buyers are pushing costs out of the reach of B.C. residents who aspire to an ocean view. In many cases these are “satellite families,” taking advantage of our clean, stable, safe jurisdiction on the Paciﬁc Rim. Mum may drive the kids to private school in a Range Rover, but the family reports little or no Canadian income. The only way these residents will pay a share is through consumption taxes. I have also argued that migration of retirees will dominate B.C.’s population growth in the coming years. This is another group that reports less income but has signiﬁcant consumption. A recent BC Stats study shows that I overstated the impact of retirees. Since 1961, only seven per cent of migrants to B.C. have been 65 or older. Younger people are coming here to work, and increasingly they will be selfemployed or in small business. The NDP supports lowering small business income tax to zero. They should also support the HST.

letters Where are P3 successes?

In focusing on public sector union opposition to P3s, Matthew Enns’ letter titled “P3 benefits are obvious,” left me feeling somewhat jilted. Even though I am not a member of a union, I too am in opposition to a P3 when it comes to the supply of our water. I am not convinced of universal benefits when it comes to public-private partnerships, and will provide two recent examples. The first was raised by Mayor George Peary at the April 14 Mayor’s breakfast. As reported in the April 16 edition of the Abbotsford News, Mayor Peary refers to Auguston school “as Abbotsford’s first P3 project.” In this case the risk factor

was obviously not covered by the private partner. Abbotsford School Board’s response to an FOI request informed me that Auguston school was constructed in 2000, and required repairs of $2,016,698 by 2008. The cost of the repairs was paid for by the ministry of education through the building envelope program. If Auguston school is a P3 to be admired, why didn’t the builder cover the cost of repairs? Then there’s the 2011 Auditor General of B.C.’s Audit of the Academic Ambulatory Care Centre Private Partnership (available on-line; VCHA refers to Vancouver Coastal Health Authority). Several points from the con-

clusion: Q “Construction was completed on time, but the final capitalized value of $123 million was 29.5 per cent higher than the estimated capital cost of $95 million disclosed in the project report. Q The use of a P3 contract was not effective in controlling VCHA-initiated design and scope changes. Q The performance-based payment structure for operations and maintenance of the facility does not represent good practice.” Not exactly a glowing report for this particular P3. We need to know more about actual P3 successes and failures before we jump in with both feet. Regina Dalton

Harper has rough first week

The Conservative Party finally achieved their majority, but I’m not so sure if you are a Conservative you would want to admit it after just over one week in power. I’m sure I’ve heard Prime Minister Stephen Harper say he believes in an elected Senate. Yet he stacked the Senate with all his friends before this latest election, and of course now just appointed three more. These three lost in the election, and two of them left the Senate to run as MPs. They are rewarded by being appointed to the Senate. I must say this turns my stomach. What else happens in the first week? Mr. Harper introduced his cabinet, which is one of the largest ever. I thought he believed in smaller government. Shouldn’t they lead by example by trimming cabinet? I thought they were going to reduce the deficit. Doesn’t look like it to me, with fighter jets to pay for, and mega-prisons to build. How are they going to come up with the money? Hang on tight, folks, I think cuts will come from health care, and there will be tax hikes for you and me. Rob Knelsen

Housing starts trending upward Housing starts are on the rise in the Lower Mainland, according to the national housing agency. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) reports that April housing starts in the Vancouver census metropolitan area totalled 1,329 homes. Nearly three-quarters of all housing starts were multiple-family units. “Multiple-family housing starts continue to grow in popularity throughout the CMA,” said Robyn Adamache, CMHC,s senior market analyst. “More than two-thirds of all multiple-family starts in April occurred in the North Vancouver District and the City of Burnaby, reflecting the strong housing demand in these areas.” The Abbotsford CMA reported 21 housing starts in April, totalling 188 homes for the first four months of the year. More than three-quarters of all housing starts so far this year were multiple family units. Across B.C., April’s seasonally adjusted rate of urban housing starts moved higher, to 22,600

units from 18,300 units the previous month Nationally, the rate of housing starts was 179,000 units in April, according to CMHC. This is down from 184,700 units in March 2011. “Housing starts moved lower in April mostly because of decreases in multiple construction across the country and in rural starts,” said Bob Dugan, chief economist at CMHC’s Market Analysis Centre. “The multiple segment market in Ontario and Quebec contributed the most to the overall decline in Canada.” The rate of urban starts decreased by 1.9 per cent to 160,100 units in April. Urban multiple starts were down by 5.1 per cent in April to 96,000 units, while single urban starts increased by 3.4 per cent to 64,100 units. April’s rate of urban starts decreased by 9.4 per cent in Quebec and by 8.0 per cent in Ontario. Urban starts increased by 5.3 per cent in the Prairie region, by 10.4 per cent in the Atlantic region and by 23.5 per cent in British Columbia.

Deputy fire chief Mike Helmer said he suffered “traumatic injury,” and had to be secured to a spine board before transport. His condition is not known at this time.

A former gravel pit on Bradner Road will be transformed into farm land after sitting barren for more than 30 years. The property, located in the 8400 block, was mined in the late 1960s and early ’70s and pre-dates the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve.

“Whoever owned it back then just mined out the gravel and left it,” said Coun. John Smith. “It’s useless right now.” Present property owner Lloyd Brown has been working with the city on a soil deposit plan that would see approximately 62,000 cubic metres of earth brought to the site over a five-year period, to transform it back to usable agricultural land.

Starting strong the key Hansen wins Valley AA rugby crown, while Yale falls in AAA final Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

The divergent results posted by the Rick Hansen Hurricanes and the Yale Lions last Thursday during the Fraser Valley senior boys rugby finals illustrated the importance of a strong start. The Hurricanes, taking on Aldergrove Secondary for the AA Valley championship at South Surrey Athletic Park, put their stamp on the game in the early going. They scored a quick try, and dominated possession en route to a 19-3 halftime lead. Aldergrove pushed back after the break, trimming the deficit to 19-15, but the Hurricanes buckled down at that point and pulled away for a 29-18 victory. “We came out like gangbusters off the opening kickoff,” marveled Hansen head coach Bo Sidhu, whose team moved up to No. 4 in the AA rankings. “I told the guys before we started that Aldergrove had a lot to prove, because we’d beaten them earlier in the season and they’d be motivated. We needed to get on them right away and take the momentum, and we did that.” Daniel McCutcheon, a star receiver with the Hurricanes’ football team, showed that his skills also translate pretty well to rugby, scoring three tries. Jordon Gmur and Alex Massier notched one try apiece, while Suki Uppal booted two converts. The Lions didn’t fare as well, falling 33-15 to the Earl Marriott Mariners in the Valley AAA final. In the wake of the defeat, head coach Doug Primrose didn’t mince words. “We played terrible,” the veteran bench boss succinctly analyzed. “We came out really flat – I’m not sure why. Maybe it

Sports

In Brief TWISTERS TRIUMPH Ashlynn Skulstad and Shayla Ogloff led the way as the Twisters Gymnastics Club women’s squad turned in a series of sparkling results at the Garden City Invitational in Victoria last week. Skulstad, competing for the first time in the national open category, tied for all-around gold after finishing first on the floor and second on vault and beam. Ogloff, competing in the provincial 5 tyro division, matched Skulstad with an all-around title of her own. She won four events – vault, bars, beam and floor. Other all-around medals came from Tamara Skulstad (silver, provincial 3 argo) and Lexi Gaspar (bronze, provincial 2 novice). Individual event medallists from Abbotsford included Ashley Perry (provincial 4 novice, gold on beam), Jayden Ansell (provincial 1 argo, silver on vault), and Andry Friesen (national open, bronze on bars and floor).

Maybe the guys kind of took it for granted. I don’t know.” Primrose’s disappointment was rooted in the fact that his team, ranked No. 5 in the province going in, had beaten Marriott 27-24 on May 3 to clinch the Fraser Valley Elite League regular season crown. But for the second straight year, the Mariners knocked off the Lions in the regional play-

off final. A slow start was Yale’s undoing – they spotted Marriott a 14-0 lead in the first five minutes of the game. “From there, we really struggled to get rolling,” Primrose noted. “Every time we started to get going, somebody would make a mistake. It kind of went like that the whole game. You could tell right away it just wasn’t going to be our day.” Brandon Jobb and Coulson de

St. Remy accounted for the Yale tries, while Akash Deo rounded out the scoring with a convert and a penalty kick. The loss caused the Lions to sink from fifth to seventh in the B.C. AAA rankings. They open the provincial championships on the road on May 28, traveling to Kamloops to play No. 10 Kelowna in the first round. The balance of the tourney runs June 1-4 at Exhibition Park in Abbotsford.
