[Bennett ferry roll back]

News item. Premier Bennett is interviewed on the Inner Harbour causeway. He says that the Transport and Communications Minister is continually reviewing ferry rate structures. Rates will not go down, even in the tourist season. One of BC's main problems, he says, is the high cost of services, even in the forest industry where "we have lost our competitive edge." The Washington State Ferries, according to Mr. Bennett, do not have BC's high labour costs.
