THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1979

The House met at 2 p.m.

This being the first day of the fourth session of the thirty-first

Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia for the

dispatch of business, pursuant to a proclamation of the Hon. Henry P.

Bell-Irving, Lieutenant-Governor of the province, dated March 8,1979,

hon. members took their seats.

Prayers.

His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, having entered the House and

being seated upon the throne, was pleased to deliver the following

gracious speech.

SPEECH FROM THE THRONE

HON. MR. BELL-IRVING: Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly:

It is with a sense of great pleasure and privilege that I have this

opportunity to deliver the Speech from the Throne to the members of

this assembly for the first time. In doing so, I am mindful of the

dedicated service of those who have preceded me in performing this duty.

Therefore, hon. members, I would like to pay tribute to my

predecessor as representative of Her Majesty in the Province of British

Columbia, the Hon. Walter Stewart Owen, who retired on May 18 last

after five years of dedicated service.

I note with sadness the recent death of a man whose services to

British Columbia were unique in the history of our province. William

Andrew Cecil Bennett represented the electoral district of South

Okanagan in this House for 30 years, and served an unprecedented 20

years as Premier of British Columbia through a period of growth and

development never before seen.

We also mourn the passing of four other former members of this

House: Roderick Charles MacDonald, who represented the electoral

district of Dewdney from 1941 to 1952; Alexander Campbell Hope from

Delta, who served from 1945 to 1952; Cecil Robert Bull, MIA for South

Okanagan, who served from 1937 to 1941; and Dorothy Gretchen Steeves,

former MLA for North Vancouver, who served from 1934 to 1945.

I also wish to note the death of Dr. Willard Ireland, former provincial librarian

and archivist, who, through a long and distinguished career in the service of

the government and people of this province, did so much to keep our past alive.

During the past year the province was honoured by the visit of many

distinguished people, including His Royal Highness the Duke of

Edinburgh and His Royal Highness Prince Andrew, who participated in our

Captain James Cook Bicentennial celebrations.

Among distinguished visitors to our province were Their Excellencies

Governor-General and Mme. Leger and, more recently, our new

Governor-General and his wife, Their Excellencies Edward R. Schreyer

and Mrs. Schreyer.

In addition, 15 high commissioners and ambassadors paid official visits during the past year.

We wish to note the kind cooperation of the many nations of the

world who helped us mark this commemoration of the visit to our shores

by Captain Cook, a man considered by many to have been the greatest

navigator and explorer the world has ever known.

I also wish to note the resignation of the former member for North

Vancouver–Capilano, Gordon Gibson, and the former member for North

Vancouver–Seymour, Jack Davis.

My government believes that the most important function of the

Speech from the Throne is to establish the principles upon which the

future actions of this Legislature will rest, so that the quality of

life for the people of British Columbia will continue to improve and

provide them with a more secure future.

My government also believes that the Speech from the Throne provides

an opportunity to lay before the citizens of British Columbia an

expression of the ideals and principles which my ministers seek to

bring to the task of government.

During the first session of this thirty-first parliament, the Speech

from the Throne emphasized the importance that my government places on

the role of the individual in our society. During that session my

government presented to you legislation based upon this important

principle, and you will be asked to reinforce the commitment to that

principle in the days and weeks ahead.

A basic principle which my government will place before this

Legislature involves the rights which the individual ownership of the

business and industry in British Columbia can give our people. Members

of this assembly will be asked to confirm through legislation that this

principle endures under the British Columbia Resources Investment

Corporation Act.

For some time now my government has been expressing concern that the

ownership and management of the rich resource potential of this nation

has been falling into fewer and fewer hands. My government believes

that there

[ Page 2 ]

are many who have talked about the ownership of our

resource corporations falling into fewer and fewer hands, but have done

little or nothing about it.

Recognizing that there are those who would resolve this problem

through government ownership, my government affirms that secondhand

ownership does not permit individuals to have any of the options,

privileges and responsibilities which individual ownership gives.

My government believes that the ultimate freedom and security of

Canadians rest on the right and responsibility of individuals to guide

their own destiny; the right of individual ownership should never be

surrendered to government.

Legislation to be placed before you by my Attorney-General will

provide the citizens of British Columbia with important new evidence

that the commitment of this government to the individual will always

have top priority. The members of this assembly will be asked to

enshrine in legislation a bill of rights guaranteeing fundamental

freedoms to all of our citizens.

You will be further asked to ensure that the rights of individuals

whose lands, homes or businesses may be expropriated by public or

private agencies are protected through the introduction of a "fair

compensation" statute.

In addition, the Administration Act, Testator's and Family

Maintenance Act and the Wills Act will be amended to ensure that the

principles of equality and fair distribution of assets of deceased

persons are parallel to the concepts introduced and passed in the

Family Relations Act last year.

I am pleased to note that all of these measures will add to our

system of laws for the protection of individual rights. I am also

pleased to be advised that our system of laws for the protection of the

individual from unnecessary regulation will be vastly improved by the

introduction of the Repeal of Obsolete Statutes Act.

To ensure that the auto insurance industry in this province cannot

discriminate with respect to rates on the basis of age, sex, marital

status or geographic location, this Legislature will be asked to

consider rights for the motoring public of British Columbia. My

government believes that youth should carry no penalty and that all

drivers in British Columbia should have their individual rights

protected by applying the principle that good drivers should not be

penalized because of age, sex, marital status or geographic location.

During the course of this mandate, my government has sought to

achieve a record of accountability to its citizens through the

introduction of measures which are more comprehensively developed than

in any other Canadian province. A series of initiatives has been

introduced by my government — not the least of which was the

appointment of an Auditor-General, honouring a commitment made by my

government upon taking office.

The statute providing for a special committee of this Legislature

under the Crown Corporation Reporting Act provides individuals with the

added security of knowing that Crown corporations are also accountable

through their Legislature. I am advised that this new measure of

accountability — a first in Canada — has aroused great interest in

other parliaments. In addition, I am pleased to note that an all-party

committee met and has a recommendation to this Legislature for the

appointment of an ombudsman, honouring yet another commitment of this

government on taking office late in 1975.

My government's recommendation that the citizens of British Columbia

should have an ongoing review of the actual financial performance of

the province by issuing quarterly financial reports represents, I am

sure, a welcome change from previous practices.

To further advance the principle of the accountability under which

my government will continue to function, members of this assembly will

be asked to endorse transferring the regulatory jurisdiction over B.C.

Telephone Company from the federal government to the province.

My government believes that the principles of accountability and

sound financial management are the essential foundation for creating

individual security and individual opportunity for the citizens of

British Columbia.

Because my government believes that individual security starts in

the home, it is fitting that this year was proclaimed to be "The Year

of the Child and the Family" in British Columbia. My government will

announce new programs for children and families to be introduced by my

social service ministries of Health, Education, Science and Technology,

Human Resources, and Attorney-General.

My Minister of Human Resources will greatly expand services to

handicapped children. The family services aspect of that ministry will

also be strengthened through actions you will be asked to take.

Many of my government's major social policy initiatives have

occurred in the Ministry of Health. During the past 12 months of

operation, for example, more than 40,000 persons have benefited from

the long-term care program launched by my government just over one year

[ Page 3 ]

ago.

I am pleased to know that the children's care hospital, initiated by

this government, is under construction in Vancouver. It is regarded by

many experts to be the finest facility of its kind in North America.

Through the introduction of the Universal Pharmacare Program my

government ended the discrimination whereby only certain groups and

individuals had protection from the high cost of prescription drugs.

My government believes that while we already enjoy a reputation for

providing the best and most responsible health care system in Canada,

yet another new initiative should be placed before you. A new,

comprehensive denticare program will give individuals in British

Columbia a measure of protection from the high costs associated with

basic dental care. It is a priority of my government to keep British

Columbia in the forefront of providing responsible health care for all

its citizens.

My government considers the family home to be the cornerstone of

family life in British Columbia. My Minister of Lands, Parks and

Housing will place before you a home ownership policy involving, among

other initiatives, the release of Crown land by the introduction of a

simplified application process. My minister also advises me that as

part of this new policy, the $1,000 Home Purchase Assistance Act for

first-time home buyers implemented in 1978 will be expanded. These new

measures will supplement existing programs, such as the Shelter Aid For

Elderly Renters program (SAFER), which seek to give our people

individual solutions rather than institutional solutions to the

provision of shelter.

My government believes top priority should be given to ensuring that

the young people of this province have the security which will come

from improved educational opportunities.

My government further believes that it must provide our young people with programs designed to improve job training.

My Minister of Education, Science and Technology will double the

value of grade 12 scholarships to encourage excellence in academic

effort.

This fall, this ministry will also have in place a special program

for gifted children and a new program designed for children with

learning difficulties.

My Minister of Education, Science and Technology wilt also advance a

program for sports bursaries in our universities in order to promote

excellence in physical achievement in competitive fields.

In cooperation with the Ministries of Tourism and Small Business

Development, Forests, and Agriculture, the Ministry of Labour will ask

you to provide funds for a private sector youth job program.

At the last First Ministers' Conference on the economy, all premiers

endorsed the concept that the private sector is the "engine" which

drives our economy — a principle which my government has clearly

enunciated since taking office in 1975. I was pleased to be advised

that major growth in the British Columbia economy, much of which is the

result of forward thrusts in the private sector, is still outpacing the

real growth in the economy of Canada as a whole.

My government will continue to tackle the problems of job creation

being experienced across the western world. It was gratifying to be

advised that an additional 98,000 British Columbians have found a place

in the workforce in the three years since 1975.

To further encourage the expansion of the British Columbia economy

and create job opportunities for the individual, you will have a number

of major initiatives placed before you during the course of this

session. My government has been concerned about the negative impact of

excessive regulation and red tape on private initiative, investment and

employment.

Conflict and lack of coordination between governments and their

agencies have resulted in a serious burden of cost which has damaged

the productivity of our national economy, costing jobs and frustrating

the kind of initiative which built this country.

Accordingly, my government has established a new Ministry of

Deregulation, the first of its kind in Canada. This ministry will

introduce at this session, legislation which will bring under one

authority the responsibility for coordinating codes, standards and

inspection services relating to the construction, use and occupancy of

buildings and structures. Furthermore, this ministry in cooperation

with other ministries, will comb the legislation and regulations now in

effect to ensure the removal of barriers to initiative proposed by

British Columbian citizens.

My government informs me that it intends to use the newly structured

Ministry of Tourism and Small Business Development as a major tool for

building the already high job-creating capacity of British Columbia. My

government is aware that from 1961 to 1971 approximately 51 percent of

all jobs created by the private sector came from the growth of small

business and that from 1971 to 1978 the percentage has risen to 67

percent. Therefore major new initiatives will be introduced to make

British Columbia increasingly attractive as a location for individual

enterprise.

[ Page 4 ]

Low interest loans for development projects which show positive

economic returns to the province, regardless of the geographic location

of the individual enterprise involved, will be introduced.

All incentive programs to business will be consolidated by the

Ministry of Tourism and Small Business Development through the adoption

of a one-stop service concept.

My government will propose measures to encourage those individual

citizens of British Columbia to invest in British Columbia companies.

The new Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources intends to

follow up on the coal policy papers of 1977 by establishing a

comprehensive energy policy for the province of British Columbia. My

government believes that more jobs can be created in British Columbia

through significant improvement to the management of range lands within

the province. My Ministries of Agriculture and Forests have, therefore,

been asked to significantly expand range improvement work in the

interior of British Columbia.

In addition, my Ministry of Agriculture will be asking members of

this assembly to support programs which will include expanding efforts

designed to increase employment in the food processing industry, aiding

development of new crops and food products and the market promotion of

fish and shellfish products in cooperation with my Ministry of

Environment.

During the course of the last three years my government has

successfully negotiated over $300 million in federal-provincial

agreements for economic development. This very significant transfer of

federal funds was highlighted in 1978 by the signing of a $50 million

travel industry development agreement — a first of its type in Canada.

Again, this agreement, along with the others already signed, will

ensure the development of the infrastructure needed in many parts of

the province, generating large-scale private sector investment.

The Minister of Economic Development will continue to pursue the

further transfer of federal funding to support enterprises which will

make significant contributions to the job-generating capacity of the

province.

The construction of a $25 million trade and convention centre on the

Vancouver waterfront remains a priority of my government. This facility

will be the first of its magnitude in Canada and will give this

province the opportunity for first-class display of our trade

capabilities, particularly with our Pacific Rim trading partners.

My government's commitment to the British Columbia Railway will

continue to ensure that the proven job-generating capacity of this

transportation link will serve the needs of British Columbia.

Indicative of the increase in British Columbia's rail activity is

the fact that a record figure of close to 155,000 car loadings was

recorded for 1978. The impact on the British Columbia economy of this

railway can be significantly illustrated by the fact that the B.C.

Railway went from an operating loss of $21 million in 1976 to an

operating profit of $3.3 million in 1978.

The British Columbia Development Corporation will continue to be

used by my government as a major catalyst for development in the

province. Last year, through the low-interest loan assistance program,

British Columbia manufacturing firms received loans totalling over $4

million and nearly 1,200 new jobs were created.

The massive Duke Point project in Nanaimo is another example of

federal-provincial joint funding. This will result in the direct

creation of a further 1,100 new jobs.

Trade missions mounted by the Ministry of Economic Development

during 1978 have resulted in firm additional export sales of $45

million, or the equivalent of 1,500 new jobs.

My Minister of Transportation, Communications and Highways advises

me that the construction of two new ferries and the stretching of three

others will generate in total a payroll of $40 million, representing

approximately three million man-hours of additional employment. This

new initiative by my ministry will not only create employment, but will

ensure that a pool of important skills is kept in British Columbia.

My Minister of Lands, Parks and Housing, in addition to asking you

to approve the use of Crown land for residential purposes, advises me

that Crown land could also satisfy the land requirements for some

recreational, commercial, agricultural and industrial enterprises which

will add to our capacity to create jobs.

My government believes that through the intelligent and optimum use

of this Crown land, no corporate user of Crown land will seek to

destroy the environment which shareholders in such corporations would

wish to protect as individuals.

My Minister of Environment (Hon. Mr. Mair) holds firmly to the view

that we can and must have a sound economy — but it must not be at the

expense of our environment and the traditional recreational

opportunities British Columbians have as a birthright.

He will be recommending to the government a wildlife management

program, which will ensure that our unique numbers and varieties of

wild-

[ Page 5 ]

life are preserved and enhanced for the enjoyment

of future generations. I am also pleased to note that my Minister of

Environment signed, on behalf of my government, the salmonid

enhancement agreement with the federal government, thus covering

substantial joint efforts toward the goal of doubling our salmonid

population in British Columbia.

My government believes that environmental management is good

business and can be a prime creator of jobs. Following upon the joint

federal-provincial study of the Okanagan water basin, recommendations

in regard to the management of this important water resource will have

the consideration of our Ministry of Environment. The elimination of

sewage outfalls in the Okanagan Lake area will create new opportunities

for enterprise in the tourist and agricultural sectors of that region's

economy. My Ministry of Environment will also open up new opportunities

for business with initiatives designed to improve the recovery of

materials from waste.

I have found the report made to me by my Minister of Forests most

encouraging. New forestry programs will ensure that generations of

British Columbians yet to come will have security of employment in

British Columbia's number one industry. These programs are typified by

the intensified tree planting and forest management which utilizes

revenue surplus, to maintain a viable forest industry in British

Columbia.

The health of the forest industry is also noted in the fact that,

between 1972 and 1975, capital investment in the forest industry was

declining. In 1975, capital investment in our number one industry stood

at $562 million. In the years since, this capital investment jumped

significantly to $720 million in 1976; to $851 million in 1977; and to

$934 million in 1978. In addition, the members of this Legislature will

take satisfaction from the fact that recently announced capital

expansion program of major forest companies now total over $1.2

billion. I am sure it will also gratify the members of this assembly to

know that during the year 1978, forest revenues reached an all-time

high.

I was also pleased to learn in the report from my minister of Energy, Mines

and Petroleum Resources that the value of mineral production in British Columbia

during 1978 reached an all-time record of $1.9 billion.

I was further encouraged to learn that the indicators for the mining

industry show significant upward trends. New mining companies have

announced production plans including properties at Atlin, Cassiar,

Alice Arm, Babine Lake, Houston, Stewart, Princeton and Chetwynd. This

solid development and extension of the mining industry will be a major

factor in maintaining the job-generating capacity of British Columbia's

economy.

While commenting upon the significance of the growing importance of

the forest and mineral resources to the economy of British Columbia, my

government has asked me to state certain fundamental principles which

this Legislature will be asked to endorse with respect to the resource

policies of this province. Members of this Legislature, I am sure, will

not wish to forget that previous Legislatures have, on behalf of the

citizens of British Columbia, retained nearly 95 percent of our forest,

mineral, petroleum and water resources in the name of the

Crown-Provincial.

My government believes that the natural resources of British

Columbia can serve a national purpose on behalf of all Canadians. My

government, however, perceives that it has an historic and fundamental

responsibility to ensure that, while serving a national purpose, there

is no need to transfer or sell out the management of the

revenue-generating capacity of these resources to any centralized

federal authority.

My Minister of Municipal Affairs reports to me that high on the

agenda for review will be the Municipal Act, which has not been

substantially revised since 1957.

My Minister of Deregulation, in cooperating with the Minister of

Municipal Affairs, is conducting a review of all regulations and

procedures governing land use to remove unnecessary overlaps among the

agencies involved and streamline access to decision making for all

citizens.

My government believes that the people of Canada should recognize

the facts of history which have brought this great nation to where it

is today. We are the sons and daughters of many races and cultures.

Contributions made to Canada by the people who have come from many

lands are no more in evidence than they are here in British Columbia.

My First Minister advises me that in early April this government

will host a conference designed to provide all our citizens with the

opportunity to contribute toward the multiculturism policy of the

Province of British Columbia.

During the past year my government, along with the other provincial

governments, has been involved in a number of constitutional

conferences. On behalf of the people of British Columbia, my government

has placed before the people of Canada important thoughts which it

believes represent the thinking of the vast majority of British

Columbians.

[ Page 6 ]

My government believes that after 100 years of experience with

Confederation it is time to review the mechanism of federalism, having

regard for the realities of Canada today. In this connection my

government, on behalf of the people of British Columbia, has said there

is a need to make the federal system of government work better for the

benefit of all regions of Canada.

My government will fight for fair representation on the central

institutions of Canada so that our voice can be heard, so that we can

make a contribution to strengthening Canada.

On behalf of the citizens of British Columbia, my First Minister has

strongly opposed those who have a design for dismembering this great

country. Members of this assembly have already in hand documents which

set forth the British Columbia design to maintain the unity of this

country from sea to sea.

On behalf of the citizens of British Columbia, my government will continue to support the Canadian fact with all its will.

Many of my ministers, of course, will be bringing before you

measures for the improvement of the statute law within the province of

British Columbia, not so much in the spirit of making more laws, but in

the spirit of correcting deficiencies in our existing laws.

Honourable members, my government recognizes that you will have

placed before you a large number of ideas, legislative and budgetary

proposals in consideration of both this address and in the

consideration of the budget to follow. However, I give into your

capable hands these matters in the fullest confidence that you will

approach with diligence all the tasks placed before you.

I pray that Divine Providence may guide your deliberations.

Mr. Speaker, honourable members, I leave you now to discharge your legislative duties.
