    MLA blasts offshore ferry construction Lindsay Kines, Victoria Times Colonist
    In a letter to the editor published Thursday in North Shore Outlook, North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Daniel Jarvis said he has contacted his colleagues in the provincial cabinet and many agreed with him.

    "To me it doesn't make sense, and would be blatantly stupid," he wrote. "There are no valid reasons to indicate that B.C. shipyards are not capable.

    "The two biggest ferries that we have, and for that matter the whole B.C. Fleet, were built by the private sector and organized labour in B.C."
