Robocalls hit home on Peninsula, May says Erin Cardone News staff
There might be thousands of Peninsula residents whose right to vote was affected by robocalls, the riding’s MP said. And Elizabeth May hopes residents who were affected can help. “We are trying to solve a crime. Interfering with somebody’s right to vote is a crime,” she told the News Review. May said a company phoned
people in her Saanich-Gulf Islands riding just before the federal election of May 2, 2011 and told voters their polling station had moved in hopes of keeping them from voting. That election was a tight race in Saanich-Gulf Islands, with Conservative incumbent MP Gary Lunn pegged to win by a small margin. May said she doesn’t believe Lunn is responsible for the calls – rather it was likely someone aiding Lunn.
“The people who received calls as far as I know … were not people who were about to vote Conservative. I’m not suggesting Gary Lunn had anything to do with the dirty tricks in … 2011. Clearly the motivations were to assist the Conservative candidates.” Lunn’s former financial agent said the local Conservative riding association was not involved in robocalls in the 2011 election. “If I had a list of people who were voting for the Green Party or some
other party, which I don’t have, and wanted to send them a robocall, I can think of a lot more effective things to do than telling them to go to the wrong polling station,” Bruce Hallsor said. “Ninety-plus per cent of people vote earlier in the day and if they were told to vote five or 10 minutes away from their polling station, they could find their way to the right polling station before it closed.” In the days leading up to the election, May’s constituency office
PENINSULA
received four or five calls from voters contacted by the robocalls. Hallsor said the Conservative Saanich-Gulf Islands Electoral District Association also received calls from Conservative supporters misdirected by robocalls. Since the story hit national media in late February, May said she’s received many more calls and more than 11,000 emails. PLEASE SEE: Peninsula voters, page A14

Reflections
A look back at historical stories that shaped the Saanich Peninsula
98 years of fire safety
Sidney Volunteer Fire Department has nearly a century of service under its belt Andrew Farris Contributor
Every Thursday for the past 98 years a handful of volunteers have congregated at the Sidney fire hall. They practice firefighting and life-saving techniques and try out the latest equipment, so that when the call comes, they’ll be ready. Their record is good: in nearly a century not a single fire-related fatality has occurred on this department’s watch. Sidney, thankfully, has not seen many large fires. The only one that springs to mind for Harry Nunn, the department’s historian and a retired firefighter, was when the Sandown race track burned down in 1968. Nunn remembers how he got singed by the flames while aiming the
nozzle of a hose. Nevertheless small fires kept the department busy. Nunn says a cold winter night would almost guarantee an emergency call as people stoked their fires to stay warm and some, inevitably, got out of control. The development of safer means of home heating has helped to greatly reduce the incidence of fires. Many other things have changed for the SVFD since it was established in 1914. Though the hall has always stood
photos courtesy Harry Nunn
at the same site, it was rebuilt four times. And where once the volunteers were expected to charge into dangerous situations with little more than rubber hip waders and helmets over their civilian clothes, they now don fire-proof Nomex polymer gear. For years their only breathing aids were Second World War-era gas masks; now they safeguard their oxygen supply with self-contained breathing apparatus respirators. Training has changed too. During the 38 years Nunn worked at the department, “we didn’t have manuals and all that stuff.” Instead the roughly 25 volunteers would have to rely on the twice yearly visits from two Vancouver fire marshals for updates on new equipment and techniques. Today the volunteers are required to take a full year of training before they can respond to calls. In one sense this increasing professionalism has helped push the volunteering aspect into the background. More and more of the volunteers become career firefighters who cut their teeth with the SVFD before a full-time posting elsewhere. When Nunn was a volunteer in the 1960s, more than half of the volunteers had been around for 20 years. Now

The middle truck is a 1947 Mercury and the one on the right, a 1946 Ford. Right: The original Sidney fire hall circa 1940. The hall has been rebuilt four times, but always in the same location where it currently stands. most have been with the department fewer than 10. Some things have not changed. “Old Betsy,” as the 1934 Ford ladder truck is affectionately known, still resides in the fire hall; and a hose reel hangs from the wall that dates back to the station’s founding, when Sidney still centred on the local saw mill. What also hasn’t changed is the community spirit and camaraderie a volunteer fire department engenders. Today, as for the past near-century, the firefighters are all “just average people who wanted to do something for their community,” says Nunn. “They’re a hell of a bunch of nice guys, and I’m proud of them.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Facts about â&#x20AC;&#x153;agingâ&#x20AC;? eyesight
TAX & ACCOUNTING
As we grow older, the lenses in our eyes tend to grow stiffer and less ďŹ&#x201A;exible. As this happens, the lens loses some of its ability to focus on near objects. This condition is called presbyopia, and it occurs in all of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; becoming apparent around the age of 40 and progressing as the years go by. Most of us notice this when we ďŹ nd ourselves holding books or newspapers further and further away â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tromboneâ&#x20AC;? effect. Sooner of later this will go from being annoying to being unacceptable. The good news is that presbyopia is correctable. In fact, the optometrist today can supply you with more options to correct this problem than ever before. Among the available options are: Reading glasses: If your distance vision is still good and you only have trouble close up, full or half frame glasses may be the answer. Bifocals and trifocals: If you need glasses for both distance and close-up, the new generation of bifocal glasses can solve your problem. Modern bifocals are lightweight and attractive, unlike their predecessors. Trifocals have a section for those intermediate distances, just beyond armslength. Progressive lenses: A relatively new advance, these are designed to mimic the focusing action of the normal eye. They can provide the advantages of trifocals, but without the lines. Task speciďŹ c lenses: People in certain professions, occupations and hobbies that require focus at particular distances can beneďŹ t from a variety of specialty lenses designed to meet their requirements. In addition, there are contact lenses which can help some people with presbyopia. If you are having trouble seeing close-up, talk to your optometrist.

North Saanich plans for tax rate freeze Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
North Saanich is aiming for a zero tax rate increase for 2012. “The people won’t pay one cent more in taxes this year than they did last year,” said Coun. Dunstan Browne. Browne first brought the tax cap motion up in January, as part of the Team North Saanich promise of fiscal restraint. At that time it was referred to staff to consider along with budget discussion. He asked that a cap be placed on municipal tax revenue for the 2012 fiscal year so income from all property, and parcel taxes for sewer and water for the year, do not exceed taxes imposed last year. Mayor Alice Finall suggested the original motion be presented in two parts. The first: through the budget process staff provide options for council to achieve no increase in property tax for average residents beyond 2011 levels. The second: through the budget process staff provide options for council to achieve no increase in parcel taxes for water and sewer above 2011 levels. “No matter what we approve in principle, for staff to try to project council decisions in advance of the budget process is almost impossible because they are trying to anticipate votes by council and decisions by
council on future recommendations,” Finall said. “I think it isn’t safe to do so and I don’t know how helpful that is for either council or staff. While I appreciate the wish to have council endorse a certain principle, I think we can’t do that until we hear what must be done to achieve that.” She noted the budget process is expected to start soon and the motion as worded would keep staff from preparing recommendations to allow for informed decisions. “Those will need full information and serious deliberation by council before they can make a decision. I just don’t see how staff can anticipate the results of that deliberation,” Finall said. During the Feb. 27 committee meeting, council unanimously agreed to a zero increase on property taxes. “If somebody increases a cost to us way beyond our control, we have to revisit that,” said Browne. “Apart from circumstances beyond our control, there will be no tax increases this year.” The parcel tax freeze passed with Coun. Elsie McMurphy and Finall opposed. Coun. Ceilia Stock was not at the meeting. The motions were made as recommendations to council and were up for ratification Monday night, after the News Review’s deadline. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Elderly woman will face court after fatal crash at airport
No criminal charges in deadly incident Erin Cardone News staff
file photo
An RCMP officer takes pictures of the damage that resulted from a crash at the Victoria International Airport on July 29, 2011. A vehicle plowed through a table where several Yellow Cab drivers sat, killing one man. The accused wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see criminal charges.
An elderly woman is charged with driving without due care and attention in a crash that killed a man at the Victoria International Airport last summer. The charge which falls under the Motor Vehicle Act and is not a criminal charge. The maximum penalty is a $2,000 fine plus six months in jail. The minimum is a $100 fine. Shirley Murray Zerbin, 82, is scheduled to appear in provincial court on April 26. Crown counsel decided on the charge after reviewing a report submitted in January by Sidney North Saanich RCMP,
who investigated the July 29 crash. Zerbin is also named along with the Victoria Airport Authority in a civil lawsuit launched by nine people who say they were affected by the crash. On July 29, 2011, a white sedan was moving fast when it went over the curb from the parking lot, across the airport entry road and over a raised green area where it struck a taxi and a table full of people. Seven were injured and one man, Ramesh Sharma, a taxi driver for Yellow Cab for 25 years, was killed. The vehicle hit a baggage carrier structure, crossed another stretch of pavement, then hit the airport security building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a wonderful man,â&#x20AC;? Yellow Cab president Kuljit Nagra said of Sharma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to miss him big time. He had no enemies and everyone thought very highly of him.â&#x20AC;? editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Whispy sweet peas sign of things to come March. Now it really is almost spring. It’s still chilly, but there are small buds on some shrubs, some of the dwarf daffodils are actually flowering, the polyanthus are blooming and the pink heathers in other people’s gardens are covered in bloom. Oh, it is lovely. I told you I had presprouted the sweet pea seeds. Well, now they are well up. In fact some of them are about seven inches tall, but oh so skinny and frail-looking with stems no thicker than a single hair in a horse’s tail. This is my fault. They have been sitting on a window sill above a heating element on the floor and certainly are too delicate to go outside. I’ll get my daughter to help me re-construct Cher’s gift of a greenhouse on the balcony. They should be safe enough in it. When they have leafed out a little more I’ll cut out the central growing tip, which should make them branch out, instead of continuing to aim for the stars. My other daughter discovered one of the two tuberous begonias I had last year. The other tuber has disappeared. The one she found had already sprouted and now that it has been watered will begin to put out leaves. It, too, could go in the aforementioned greenhouse. The cooler atmosphere will make it sturdy. Right now it looks pretty pale and sickly, poor thing. The yellow crocus in a box on the balcony have fallen prey to last week’s wild wind and now are lying flat before they ever were fully open. I’m trying to be philosophical about the hazards of gardening on an exposed balcony, but sometimes I grit my teeth and say naughty words in my head. I’ve just been out to see if anything interesting is happening out there and find the tulips are growing nicely, and two of the three alliums I put in several weeks ago are now up, looking lovely and strong. I’m excited about this as I’ve never grown them before –
the dwarf ones, yes, but never the giants. Inside, the orange tree keeps producing fruit, the hibiscus has a friend in the same pot, but I’m not quite sure who it is. Looks more like the leaves on the orange tree than those on the

hibiscus, but how could that have happened? Mysteries, mysteries. A garden is always full of them, which makes me wonder what happened to my garden tools when I moved. They certainly didn’t arrive here. I have a hunch
that my darling son made off with them for his anticipated garden at his new house in North Saanich, and good luck to him. They served me well. If your vegetable beds are ready, you could plant arugula,
broad beans, corn, salad, garlic, kale, peas, oriental greens and radishes. And so it starts. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.

OUR VIEW
Strike hurting no one but kids When teachers walked off the job on Tuesday and Wednesday this week (Saanich school district teachers had a Pro-D Day on Monday), they said they did so for the kids. Classrooms are too crowded, teachers say, and too many individualized learning plans make it too hard to teach. But with the teachers’ union Neither side is asking for a 16 per cent wage increase fighting fair in and better benefits, teacher bargaining the “for the kids” line doesn’t add up. Had teachers taken to the picket lines saying they’d forgo their hefty wage and benefits demands if the education ministry would pump the money it would cost – $2 billion according to the province, $431 million according to the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association – into boosting funding for programs that would actually help our kids, we’d feel a little more sympathetic. Teachers work hard. They are responsible for our children’s education. They say they deserve the pay they’re asking for. But David Hahn tried the get-what-you-pay-for line, too. That landed him as the now former CEO of B.C. Ferries after public outcry over his outrageous salary. Children aren’t coming out ahead in the teacher strike that follows nearly a year of failed or stalled bargaining. When teachers strike, they walk out on students and often leave parents to foot the bill for alternative child care. Neither the government, nor the teachers, are conducting themselves properly in negotiations. With neither side willing to budge, it seems this strike was inevitable all along. Unfortunately, in a time when more employers are considering layoffs than pay rises and many government sectors are being cut back, the teachers’ plea for better pay is hard to digest.

The government needs incident? My experience as a parent to negotiate “clearly, rationally and and journalist suggests it is not, respectfully,” said the boss of union and recent events support that. By representatives who have spent the Friday, students across B.C. were last year insulting the taxpayers’ skipping class in solidarity with negotiators by telling them to “go teachers, led by budding campus back to your masters” and get a radicals suddenly conversant with couple of billion more. B.C. Teachers’ Federation talking Clearly? It was the BCTF that points about “Bill 22.” announced its work-to-rule plan for This left-wing groupthink the fall and then took the summer pervades the education system off. It was the BCTF that didn’t even from public schools through present its outrageous 16 per cent taxpayer-supported colleges and wage demand until January, a full universities. 10 months after formal negotiations After a couple of generations began, and accompanied it with a of this indoctrination, almost false costing. everyone “knows” that government Orwellian? At a sparsely attended under-funding is at the heart of rally on the legislature lawn, local every school problem, standardized teachers’ unions marched out testing is an assault on the fragile their most strident tame trustee to
demand the government “come to the table” with billions. One teacher in the crowd held up a large sign adorned with three mug shots: Premier Christy Clark, ex-premier Gordon Campbell and Benito Mussolini, to illustrate a multiplechoice question about “fascism.” This teacher should be assigned to write an essay about the Italian dictator’s formative years, and his schooling in particular. In Vancouver, a protesting teacher got big media play, holding up a sign proclaiming that “it’s not about a wage increase, it’s about classroom conditions.” This too is a lie. The BCTF trotted out its standard “children first” rhetoric, then tabled its breathtakingly out-of-touch benefit demands. It doesn’t take a math teacher to see what its $2 billion wage and benefit fantasy would actually do to classroom conditions. For his part, Abbott started out pretty keen about students and parents heading down to occupy their local school and replace striking teachers with volunteers for a couple of days. But he changed his tune after the support staff union started grumbling about parents colouring too close to their craft lines. One fight at a time, I guess. The next one will be over teacher performance assessment and the choke-hold of union seniority on school jobs.

LETTERS Teachers talk bargaining, future of education B.C. gov’t must fess up to its bargaining mistakes I am a veteran teacher with more than 25 years of teaching experience in public education. Over the past 10 years, I have seen the quality of the B.C. public education system come under systematic attack through underfunding and death by a thousand cuts. Class sizes have increased, support staff have been cut back, salaries haven’t even kept up with inflation. I love my job and know that every day I am making a difference in students’ lives. In my classroom I establish an environment of justice and fairness – I do not tolerate bullying. If anyone makes a mistake, myself included, that person has to take responsibility for that mistake and put it right. It would not be acceptable for anyone to arbitrarily change the rules retroactively to hide that mistake. I can only assume the Liberal government believes bullying tactics are an acceptable form of behaviour. The legislation that the government tried to pass this week is just as unconstitutional as the bills they passed 10 years ago. The children of B.C. should not have to wait for another 10 years for this Liberal government to be told this by the Supreme Court of Canada. Passing new legislation to hide their mistakes is not the answer. Having the courage to admit their mistakes and investing in the children of B.C. by funding our schools adequately would let people know that they value families and that they value public education. Their behaviour
shows very clearly that they do not. My plea is for the government to allow the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the employers to negotiate a fair collective agreement without holding a gun to their heads. If they don’t, the working people and children of B.C. will be the ones who suffer. Ann McLean Brentwood Bay
Government bullying teachers with legislation With regards to this latest move from government in the teachers’ strike, it seems so impossible that we would live in a democratic country and still see forms of bullying tactics such as this government uses – but it is so true. On June 8, 2007 the Supreme Court of Canada determined that the right of workers to bargain collectively is so important to society as a whole that it is protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Please, could someone in B.C.’s government explain to the public how legislating contracts upholds this Charter right? Does the Constitution mean nothing to our political leaders? This is no longer about teacher salaries or classroom sizes or any other issue that might be a part of these contract talks. This is about the right of all and any worker to fair bargaining tactics; this is about a freedom that is already protected under our national Charter. Fair bargaining means, at the very least, a place of safety for both sides
Readers respond: Robocalls: affecting more than just elections A poutine national holiday has been declared by the government of Canada. To celebrate the occasion the Conservative Party of Canada is reported to be preparing robocalls to go out to all Canadians in each province and territory inviting them to a picnic in their respective ridings where they will be served up poutine as prepared by Chef Pierre. There is also another robocall
and this is not done by legislating fear and power over people. If you want real bargaining, but can’t do it yourself, you bring in neutral binding arbitration – you do not threaten and bully your way over everyone. Our government officials should be ashamed to be part of yet another broken contract deal, yet another example of the lack-of-good-faith bargaining this province has shown in the previous decade. How are we ever to believe and trust this government when all they do is twist and bully and legislate when it suits them? When was the last time they led by example and showed real consideration for the people they are supposed to serve? I pray people do not forget these things when election time comes. At least we still have the right to vote. Angela Cragg Sidney
Parents responsible to follow up on their kids’ education To those middle and high school parents who have publicly spoken about finding out their children are doing poorly due to not having a report card and the job action by teachers, I ask: have you not had an ongoing discussion with your child about how they have been doing on assignments or tests? Have you checked with your child that he or she has been handing in assignments and homework? Have you checked that your children have been attending all of their classes? Have you emailed or called your child’s teacher to set up an
robocalls, horse manure
to go out to all non-Conservatives telling them the location of the picnics has been changed to the Fake Lake located in Toronto. Paul Connolly Victoria
The value of the other black gold With respect to the recent letters to the editor relating to horse manure, I wonder if residents complaining about horse manure realize what solid gold they
are talking about. I often think of my mother telling me of my grandmother, who lived in a small English row house, watching at the window for the horse drawn milk cart to round the corner onto her street. Both she and a neighbour hoped for a lovely deposit of fresh horse manure to add to their vegetable gardens. It was apparently quite a race to see who might get there first and claim the prize. Ellen Guttormson Sidney
appointment to discuss your child’s progress? If you have had any or all of these conversations then there should be no surprises for parents. If students are indeed failing, their child needs to take responsibility for his or her academic achievement or lack thereof. Do parents realize what their child’s learning environment will be like in a classroom where there are no limits on how many students with special needs can be placed in a classroom? The $30 million for the entire province to support special needs students may or may not be available in your child’s classroom or school. Include the continuing cuts to learning assistance teachers, the increased number of individualized education programs your child’s teacher will need to follow, plan and support, and if there are educational assistants in the classroom, the time the teacher needs to spend training, scheduling and supporting the EA with students and you will have a classroom where many students are left behind. And don’t forget the behavioural, social and emotional needs of those students who are not designated and the learning time that they will require. How can our Liberal government in good conscience promote anti-bullying day when they have failed to address class size and composition language when they were found to have illegally stripped this language and to have removed the fundamental right of collective bargaining?

Robocalls directed voters to vote for NDP candidate Julian West – who had already dropped out of the race. “I don’t have any idea how many calls were made in 2011. I know in 2008 it was a substantial number of calls,” May said.

Unless teachers violate a Labour Relations Board ruling and extend their strike beyond today, the debate on legislation putting an end to their withdrawal of service could stretch into next week before becoming law, B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman said Monday. In weekend interviews, B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert wouldn’t rule out teachers staying off the job beyond three consecutive days this week granted by the LRB ruling on essential services. The LRB ruling also allows for one day off the job in following weeks, but some B.C. school districts begin spring break the week of March 12. Coleman said as long as the teachers’ union follows the LRB ruling, he sees no reason to accelerate passage of Bill 22, which carries the threat of heavy fines for further strike action by teachers once it is passed. NDP house leader John Horgan said opposition MLAs will hold up passage of Bill 22, which would extend the current BCTF contract terms and permit the appointment of a mediator in the year-long dispute. NDP MLAs expect to speak for the maximum 17 hours they are permitted, which would likely extend the debate into next week. Education Minister George Abbott said the three-day strike allows teachers to “vent” their hostility toward the government before returning to classrooms. Abbott said Bill 22 is complex, and it deserves a full debate. The legislation changes the rules for hiring teachers as well as dealing with class size and special needs support. If the government had staged an emergency debate to push the bill through this past weekend, it could have inflamed tensions further and triggered an illegal strike, Abbott said. The BCTF has refused to accept the two-year net-zero wage mandate that has been accepted by most other public sector unions. That includes public school support staff, whose members have ratified agreements in 24 school districts.

B.C. Transit spends $5M on land for Uptown exchange Kyle Slavin News staff
B.C. Transit recently purchased the last piece of the puzzle to build a transit exchange at Uptown Shopping Centre in Saanich. Tran-
sit had to acquire four parcels of land, at a cost of $5 million, at Ravine Way and Carey Road. In addition, there are adjacent properties owned by the District of Saanich and the Ministry of Transportation that will be used
for the Uptown exchange. “What we want to do now is [work] with Saanich to look at how we develop the area. What’s that site going to look like? What’s the exchange going to look like?” said Manuel Achadinha, president

Paint… We’ve got it.
Battle of north vs. south begins
Gordon Lee Photography
Jake Bryan and the Peninsula Panthers soar into round two of VIJHL playoffs after a 3-2 win over the Oceanside Generals on Friday.
A heart-pounding 3-2 win over the Oceanside Generals Friday evening at the Panorama Recreation Centre advanced the Peninsula Panthers to the second round of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League playoffs. After winning three games straight over their rivals in round one, the Oceanside Generals, the Panthers dropped two games last week, resulting in a 3-2 count for the local team. With Friday’s win, the Cats closed out the best-of-seven series 4-2. “I wasn’t sure my heart could handle the last couple minutes of that one. What a great game by every single player on this club,” said coach Rob Armstrong. “We are underdogs in these playoffs,
Peewee football at risk Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Peewee punters on the Peninsula could get the boot if more kids don’t sign up for Wildcats football. With the March 10 registration deadline looming, the local youth football club is short a few bodies in one division. “Where we are lacking numbers is at the peewee level,” said Cathie Ounsted, a co-ordinator with Wildcat football. “We have three-quarters of a team fielded.” Kids born in 1998 and 1999 fall into the peewee division. Without enough to field a team, the Peninsula would drop that division for the season, forcing the young athletes already registered to play with clubs off the Peninsula.
holding a 3-1 lead. Just when the crowd began to breathe easier, Generals’ Taylor Gray beat Heslop with only three minutes remaining to pull the visitors within one. Heslop stood his ground and held off the hard-charging Generals club until the buzzer, sending Oceanside to the sidelines for the year. The Panthers play the Saanich Braves in round two. Game 1 was Monday in Saanich after News Review deadline. Game 2 is tonight March 7 at Pearkes arena in Saanich starting at 7:30 p.m. The first home game of the series is Friday, March 9 at Panorama Recreation Centre. For updates visit peninsulanewsreview.com. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

“All the gear is provided in the registration fee,” Ounsted said. “The only thing they need is their own cleats.” Registration is $225 and there are options for funding through KidSport. Even transportation can be provided, Ounsted said. Ounsted is a proponent of the sport as a self-esteem builder in youth. “A lot of them come in with no experience and they come to learn they can be strong and capable,” she said. The Wildcats play out of the fields at Greenglade Community Centre in North Saanich. Those interested in registering for Wildcats football at any level can call Ounsted at 250-544-0622. Deadline is Saturday, March 10. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Seven minutes later on the power play, Panthers captain Jake Bryan hammered one from the point giving the Panthers the 2-0 lead. It seemed to be going the Panthers’ way as they outhustled and outplayed the visitors, but with only eight seconds left in the period, a mistake in the defensive zone left the Generals’ Nathan Deyell in front of Panthers stopper Stephen Heslop to narrow the spread to one. David Stephens scored in the second sending the teams to the dressing room with the Panthers

B.C. kills deal on generic drugs Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government is terminating its generic drug purchase agreement with provincial pharmacy groups after savings to the Pharmacare program fell short of expectations. Health Minister Mike de Jong said the threeyear agreement with the B.C. Pharmacy Association and the Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores will end April 1, a year early. “We negotiated an agreement on a certain set of expectations, savings to be sure, to Pharmacare and to the purchasers of drugs in B.C., and they have not been realized,” de Jong told reporters at the legislature Wednesday. “Of the roughly $69 or $70 million in savings the parties had agreed would be realized over the first two years, we’re about $36 million short.” De Jong said legislation will be presented soon to end the agreement, in which Pharmacare bought generic equivalent drugs in bulk on behalf of insured patients for a fraction of the cost of the brandname medicines. The agreement called for the price of generic drugs to decline to 40 per cent of the original patented medicines by this year. De Jong said generic drug manufacturers have insisted on many more exceptions to the price cap than the health ministry expected, eroding the savings from Pharmacare purchases. Pharmacare buys more than $300 million worth of generic drugs a year, and seniors and other patients buy another $500 million worth directly or through their medical coverage. De Jong declined to comment on B.C. following the lead of Ontario to end the practice of pharmaceutical companies paying rebates to drug stores to stock their brands of drugs.

New Residential Construction Guide Benefits Homeowners and Builders Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertipss to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes. The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the provincial Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform. Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. “For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection. This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled. Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.
