The world keeps on turning
The years go spinning past

But it sure feels like forever
Since I saw you last

And I pick up the pieces
But the puzzle isn’t done
There’s still a part
missing

Your piece is the ane

that’s

Sametimes I dream about you
Waking up ta find

It was only my imagination
Just a state af mind

A happy face can foanl you
When pain gets easier toa hide
But looks can be deceiving
As heartache lingers on inside

4nd I keep growing alder

While you stay forever young
Still I lave you mare and more
With each rising sun

So when I'm dawn, I think of you
And good times we had

They say a girl’s first hera

Is a man she calls her dad.

Lave, D

Still deeply missed by all af his

family and friends.

If the cabinet ministers re-
sponsible had any integrity left,
they would resign. Finance min—
ister Mel Couvelier should step
down for allowing this irrespon—
sible precedent in a year of
heavy public sector bargaining.
Some 70,000 public sector employ—
this

ees are bargaining year
alone. Does anyone believe the
doctors’ pension deal won’t enter

into these negotiations?

Health minister John Jenson
should also resign for this gross
misallacaticon of our precious
health care dollars. The first
$25 million payment alone could
have been used to hire 300 much—
needed nurses in B.C. and provide
surgery and cancer treatment for
1,000 British Columbians.

Right now in this province
two out of three British Colum—
bians have no workplace pension
plan at all. I’m sure those of
you in that position would love
to have a pension plan you could
contribute to, let alone one paid
entirely by taxpayers.

I support better pension
coverage for all workers, includ—
ing doctors. But a New Democrat
government would work toward a
pension plan which doctors would
contribute their fair share.

This Social Credit gover-
nment throws millions of -sur
health care dollars at a doctors’
pension, but says it can’t find
money to reduce surgery waiting
lists or support community hos-
pital across the province. It’s
high time we had a government
that got B.C.’s health care
spending prisrities right, and
put an end to government that
lurches from one mistake to the
next. ..It’s time. for a change.
