According to Bill Smith in today's Times
Colonist, "furious" NDP backbencher Rick Kasper
will not "let Highways Minister Jackie Pement back
out of a face-to-face meeting with a constituent he
claims has been mistreated by Pement's department."

Kasper's consituent, a "Cowichan Valley resident
says six years of fighting for justice has destroyed
her life and her health."

This is not the first suggestion of hardball
tactics by Highways while Pement backs away from
tough issues.

Fortunately, this time, Pement and her ministry
are being brought in line by the NDP's own Rick Kasper.

Perhaps Kasper is the NDP's new leader, but
no one has told Harcourt. The NDP advisors are still
trying to shield Mike from controversy.
