Christy also said, she needed thousands for six figure mining jobs.<br /><br />Ditzy Christy lied and cheated to win her elections, just as Campbell did before her. Campbell's election lies were, The BCR wasn't for sale and the HST wasn't on his radar either. Then the people of BC also have to contend with, Harper cheating to win as well.<br /><br />Seems Christy's economic and job action plans, are identical to Harper's. The jobs are all for foreigners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-12713311665171761002014-11-22T05:48:26.640-08:002014-11-22T05:48:26.640-08:00Grant, this dumb bitch running this province is go...Grant, this dumb bitch running this province is going to put everyone in the poor house.

Members should read the Grant Thornton report. You should read it if you're serious about this job. The B.C. Liberals, the government, told Grant Thornton that they had to use certain assumptions. They said that you have to use the number of five LNG plants. Well, okay. Is there any basis for five rather than six or seven or three? No. It's an arbitrary number.<br /><br /><br />Then the B.C. Liberals said to Grant Thornton: "You have to use the number 2,400 as the number of jobs that would be provided by those five LNG plants and the pipelines needed to supply them." Did that number come from anywhere real? No. It was a made-up number.<br /><br />Then the B.C. Liberals told Grant Thornton that they were required to use a multiplier of 30 for the indirect and induced jobs for each direct job. So that's the Grant Thornton…. Have a look at it and read it — a multiplier of 30. Just so you understand, a committee of the House of Representatives in the United States made similar reports. Their multiplier was 3.5. This is a credible group that instead of using a multiplier of 30, used a more realistic number of 3.5.<br /><br />So the 100,000-person claim is completely not factual. It is not factual. You wouldn't have to look very hard to actually understand that. So if you are doing your job, have a look at that report and the Ernst and Young report as well. Look at the front, where they say, "Hey, all we're doing is taking numbers the B.C. Liberals gave us and doing the math. Don't blame us for everything else."<br /><br />[1630]<br /><br />But what I can say to members<br /><br />HSE - 20141103 PM 037/alw/1630<br /><br />have a look at that report and the Ernst and Young report as well. Look at the front, where they say: "Hey, all we're doing is taking numbers the B.C. Liberals gave us and doing the math. Don't blame us for anything else."<br /><br />What I can say to members: "If you took your job seriously, you would actually have a look at that." B.C. Liberals say it's 30. U.S. House of Representatives say one-eighth of that amount is a multiplier. There's something completely dishonest about throwing around fake multipliers, fake numbers of LNG plants.<br /><br />Let's just use common sense here. An operating LNG plant employs 120 people on average. It's like a pulp mill. In fact, Skookumchuck, which is an average-sized pulp mill, employs 290 employees in my riding. That is one LNG plant — 120. So when the minister stands up and asks us to believe that five of those change everything in British Columbia, in Canada, at what point do you say that's ridiculous and irresponsible for a minister to say that?"<br /><br /><br />CheersGrant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-57150262262864048722014-11-21T18:58:50.397-08:002014-11-21T18:58:50.397-08:00Granted, I'm not an economist (but, then neith...Granted, I'm not an economist (but, then neither is Chrispy). So, let's see what's in it for us, the people of BC:<br />1) Jobs. 100,000 of them. To TFWs according to this. That'll be a helluva boon to camp trailer manufacturers. Also for cooks, camp attendants and small airlines. Have you ANY idea where 100,000 new hires are going to stay?<br />2) Income Taxes. None! TFWs don't pay income taxes. They also don't pay Medical Services premiums. But you and I do!<br />3)Natural Gas. Outta sight. According to the Australians domestic natural gas prices will increase, to the detriment of manufacturing. small business and residential housing. <br />4)The economy. TFWs don't buy cars, TVs or washing machines. As the domestic labour force is squeezed out of the market, so are the WalMarts and Superstores. No paycheck, no purchases.
