    B.C. government, health union agree to cap layoffs, avert general strike By TIFFANY CRAWFORD AND JEREMY HAINSWORTH, CP
    Union and government officials reached an agreement late Sunday to end an illegal walkout that threatened to balloon into a full general strike paralysing public services this week.

    "We have concluded an arrangement, supported by the B.C. Federation of Labour, that will put an end to this dispute," Premier Gordon Campbell said. He called the deal fair and reasonable and said he expected services would resume as normal Monday.
