Can I attend?

Actually the letters BCBC used to be the BC Building Corporation. The NDP formed this provincial corporation for their union buddies to look after any building the government owned or was responsible for. BCBC was unions only, and to heck with the cost as long as the unions were happy.

It was BCBC that turned the jail from a $20 million dollar Hilton on the Hill into a $58 million dollar embarrasment. Is BCBC still around?

Wrong again Yama. BC builduings Corp. was formed in 1977. That would be the Socreds that set up BC Buildings Corp. It would be thier buddies that reaped the profits from contracts given out by the Corporation.

Put brain in gear and stuff foot in mouth before opening.

And .. is BCBC still around? The NDP is famous for making government agencies into something they were never intended to be.

The NDP even mis-used abused the power of the WCB to persue a political agenda and go after smokers by declaring second hand smoke a hazard, although you can not make a claim for past second hand smoke harm as you can not ever prove you were harmed by second hand smoke. Just government abuse of power.
