    Exam scandal prompts calls for inquiry CBC News
    Bond says her ministry officials will hold a review. But B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair says a public inquiry is necessary to rebuild confidence in the program.

    'Asking Shirley Bond to investigate that, to investigate apprenticeships is ridiculous. It's like asking the fox to investigate the dead chickens. It doesn't work,' he says.

    Sinclair says the manager boosted marks because too many students were failing their Red Seal exams.

    He says students weren't doing well because government cuts had eliminated most of the apprenticeship trainers and replaced them with a 1-800 number.
