    B.C. Federation of Labour Says Plan to Build Ferries Overseas is Part of Larger BC Liberal Privatization Agenda BC Fed
    "BC taxpayers don't want to help pay to send jobs overseas," said Sinclair. "The reason the BC Liberals don't want them built here is because the real agenda is to sell off BC's public assets."

    Sinclair scorned a plan by BC Ferries to send American CEO David Hahn to a November conference in the Bahamas where he intends to promote the sale of smaller routes to private operators, as revealed by the NDP.

    "I have a message for David Hahn: Why don't you make that trip one way! You can stay in the Bahamas and we'll keep our jobs here in BC," Sinclair stated.
