Unions say B.C. Rail deal should halt after reports linking it to legislature raid By TERRI THEODORE
VANCOUVER (CP) - Unions heaped more speculation Friday onto a police raid last month at the B.C. legislature which resulted in the firing of one ministerial aide and the suspension of another.
The head of the B.C. Federation of Labour told reporters he wants the provincial government to cancel the sale of B.C Rail after newspaper reports that connected the raid to the privatization plan.
Federation president Jim Sinclair said Friday signing a $1-billion deal with CN Rail while there's a police investigation would be irresponsible.
