 Hi I'm Premier Christy Clark. I'm also the MLA for Vancouver Point Gray and I want to take a moment to talk about how important the Kits Coast Guard base is in my riding and how important it is to all of the lower mainland. The federal decision to close the Kits Coast Guard base was disappointing to say the least and the recent decision to relocate to an inshore boat at Stanley Park still leaves us with a dangerous drop in service for eight months of the year. Our swimmers, boaters and our ports expect the federal government to keep BC's harbors safe. That's why we're asking them to reconsider the decision to close the base. My government is planning to balance the budget this spring so I understand the importance of controlling spending and keeping costs down but not when lives are put at risk. For the safety of British Columbians the federal government must find the funding to keep the Kits Coast Guard station open and to keep Vancouver family safe. My government is not going to give up this fight. We're going to continue to press to keep the Coast Guard base open in Kitsilano so that they can continue to do what they do best and that save lives. Thanks.
