Top Brass In P.G. This Week

Tuesday, January 09, 2007 10:59 AM

Premier Gordon Campbell is one of several top level politicians who will be in Prince George this week for the B.C. Natural Resource Forum.

The Premier will deliver the keynote luncheon address on Thursday. His presentation will be on the Pacific Gateway and the opportunities it presents.

Also coming to town: Federal Minister of Natural Resources, Gary Lunn. He will meet with UNBC students, faculty and researchers in Natural Resources and Environmental Studies on Friday before delivering a luncheon speech on Friday at the Natural Resource Forum.

Lunn is the Federal Minister who has the keys to the Federal mountain pine beetle funding. The Mayor of Prince George, Colin Kinsley, is expected to attend the luncheon, but at this point there is no scheduled meeting between the Mayor and Minister Lunn.

Other Ministers to attend the two day forum at the Civic Centre are Attorney General Wally Oppal and Bill Bennett the Provincial Minister of Mining.

What a waste of time.....
a lot of talking about who knows what, a bunch of chest pounding and back slapping and in the end I doubt anything will be accomplished.
What ever happened to email and the telephone?

The only other time southern politicians come up here is to get votes at voting time. Be nice, anyway. It won't kill ya.
