B.C. Rail deal could last 990 years By Dirk Meissner, Canadian Press
Unions representing railway workers demanded full disclosure on the deal immediately.
'The privatization of B.C. Rail is the biggest giveaway B.C. has ever seen,' said Bob Sharpe, chairman of the Council of Trade Unions on B.C. Rail. 'CN Rail will pay off the deal with B.C. Rail profits in the first 10 years and make billions and billions of dollars for almost 1,000 years to come.'
