pice Societys Holmberg House, which will provide hospice services to adults, and a second Canuck Place Childrens Hospice, which will provide specialized pediatric palliative care services for children and support for their families.

The City of Abbotsford has contributed land adja-cent to the Abbotsford Re-gional Hospital andCancer

Centre for the Dave Lede Campus of Care. The city has signed a 99-year lease with the group for $10.

Construction of Matthews House is expected to get underway within the com-ing months. The Dave Lede Campus of Care is expected to be complete in 2013.

Quotes:

Michael de Jong, Minister of Health

Matthews House will help create a home-away-from-home feeling for children and their families, providing them with the

services they require to enjoy time together in a healthy and balanced envi-ronment.

Steve Thiessen, CEO, Communitas Supportive Care Society

The measure of a soci-ety is the value given to its citizens who are most vulnerable. This gift from the Ministry of Health is a wonderful affirmation of the vision of Matthews

House and the children and families throughout British Columbia whom it will serve.

Andrea Froese, mother of Matthew

I want Matthew's House to be a place where we can come alongside families with similar challenges and let them know that they are doing a good job and it's okay that they are tired. Matthew's House is here to relieve that a little, to offer some rest.

Thanks to the Provinces support of this important project for not only help-ing to carry on Matthews

legacy, but for standing alongside the families who also have brave little souls who will benefit from Mat-thews House.

Quick Facts:

Matthew's House will welcome children aged infant to 19.

Matthews House is the first of its kind in Abbots-ford. It will serve children and families from through-out British Columbia.

Designed to support up to five children at a time, Matthews House will help to create a support network for the children and their families.

Matthews House will be run by experienced nurses and staffed through Com-munitas Supportive Care Society.

Communitas is an or-ganization that has pro-vided various resources to people living and dealing with mental, physical and/or emotional disabilities for over 35 years.

Harper needs to end the special pension deal for government employees

When you raise the issue around the water cooler about how we pay our politicians in Ottawa, it rarely takes long be-fore you hear a rant about their platinum-plated pensions. And for good reason; the over $100 million taxpayers kick in each year is not chump change. But, its the tip of the pension iceberg in Ottawa a tip that needs to be sliced off in order to address the real government pension costs that are quietly eating away at Canadian pocketbooks.

To be precise, taxpayers an-nually contribute $102.7 mil-lion to the pensions of MPs and Senators. This number dwarfs the mere $4.4 mil-lion paid in by the politicians themselves, a ratio of $23.30 in taxpayer funding for every $1 paid by the people who will receive the pensions.

Many backbench MPs de-feated in last years election started collecting $33,000 in annual pension at age 55 for just seven years of service.

While not quite as generous as the politicians, even senior government bureaucrats have gotten in on the act. Taxpay-ers put $80 million into their pension plan in 2010, while senior bureaucrats contrib-uted $11 million, a staggering $7.27 to $1 ratio.

When it comes to pensions, the best thing we can say about MPs, Senators and se-nior bureaucrats is that there arent too many of them: relatively speaking, theyre a small problem. Fattening up their pensions cost taxpayers less than $200 million an-nually. The pensions of the

entire federal government payroll, on the other hand, are a big problem.

How big a problem? The fed-eral public service pension plan had 561,395 members in 2010 317,088 active members and 179,670 re-tirees collecting pension. Newly retired government workers collected an average of $35,644 annually, retiring as early as 55. Total pension payments were $5 billion.

Heres where things get scary: total contributions from federal government employees were $1.52 bil-lion, while total contributions from taxpayers were $2.8 billion. Compared to the outrageous pension schemes weve set up for politicians and senior bureaucrats, our half-million or so federal employees appear to be a bargain taxpayers paid only $1.84 for every $1 they paid into their retirement savings. But when you consider that you and your boss will pay $4,614 into CPP this year and every year, so you can some-day retire at 60 and collect $8,300 in annual benefits, it still doesnt seem like a very good deal.

The worst news about gov-ernment employee pensions is the total tab: taxpayers are on the hook for $147 billion in lifetime pension benefits for these half-million federal employees. Thats roughly equal to the entire assets of the Canada Pension Plan a plan thats meant to eventu-ally support nearly every one of the 34 million Canadians. The C.D. Howe Institute actually says the news is even worse. They claim the

government is underesti-mating their obligations for bureaucrat pensions and that our unfunded liability is more like $227 billion.

If youve read this far, youre probably tempted to put the paper down, pour yourself a stiff drink, or find a big bucket of sand to go stick your head in.

But help might be on the way. In Switzerland in Janu-ary, Prime Minister Harper signaled that pension changes are coming in the next bud-get. Back home in Ottawa, Mr. Harper upped the ante on pensions, hinting that changes are coming to the platinum-plated Parliamen-tary pension plan.

That will be the first, and very necessary step, to gain the moral high-ground required to reform public sector pensions.

Taxpayers understand there is no free lunch. They also understand that government employees want to put money aside for retirement. Match-ing both MP and bureaucrat contributions dollar-for-dol-lar in a pooled registered pension plan, an RRSP, or a tax-free savings account seems more appropriate in todays reality maybe even still generous.

Nevertheless, reform is nec-essary if we want to reign in the exploding pension li-abilities that are being foisted upon taxpayers, both from politicians and bureaucrats alike.

Gregory Thomas, Federal and Ontario Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

MLAs Stilwell & John Van Dongen meet with parents of young Canadian Studying Medicine Abroad

Dr. Moira Stilwell MLA from Vic-toria and MLA John Van Dongen of Ab-botsford met with par-ents and students study-ing Medicine abroad to discuss the difficulties faced by young doctors wanting to come back to BC. There are about 500 young Canadians in BC who are pursuing their education in medi-cine in various countries abroad. The chances of these qualified doctors returning to BC to serve their own community in their own country are very slim as the BC Gov-

ernment and the differ-ent medical associations have imposed many road blocks in their path.

We hear all the time that BC has an acute shortage of Physicians and yet the govern-ment seems to be doing nothing to remedy this shortage by bring these young physicians home. Instead they seem to be towing the line of these medical associations who feel that we may have too many doctors in our province. Yet we have been told that the BC government spends mil-lions of dollars to re-

cruit doctors from foreign countries like Australia, Ireland, Africa and oth-er countries but refuses to accommodate their very own born in Canada youth trained from other countries from outside of Canada when we all know for a fact that there are only so many medical seats available in our own universities and a large percent of these seats are reserved for the high pay-ing students from some Asian countries.

It is believed that the BC government spends nearly $300,000 to train one physician whereas

they can easily recruit these Canadians trained medical students with no cost to them as they are fully qualified in their respective fields. These trained doctors who are Canadian citizens come with a huge saving to the

BC government. We are often hearing about the so called Brain Drain of fully trained medical doc-tors who go down South and are accepted with open arms by our neigh-bours. What would you have these qualified pro-

fessionals do when their very own government refuses to accept them in their own country.

The big question all Parents & Students want to ask is, when will the BC Govt. wake up?

Rainwater project to shine at Open House

A student team in Simon Fraser Uni-versitys School of Interactive Arts and Technology will showcase an invention designed to simplify water needs for disaster relief and wilderness travelers, at SFU Surreys Open House Mar. 1 (4-8 p.m.)

Noro, a Finnish word meaning trickle, will be one of dozens of projects and interactive exhibits on display during the open house, a celebration of the Surrey campuss 10th anniversary event.

Noro is a portable rainwater harvesting system, and part of a family of student-designed products that work in extreme

conditions and allows for extended ac-cess to fresh water in remote areas.

The system works by collecting water in a large cylinder expandable to nearly a meter long, funneling it through a mesh and into a two-stage filtration process, where it is purified of metals, parasites, solvents and debris and stored in an ex-panding reservoir until needed.

The open house event will provide po-tential students and the general public with the opportunity to check out the campus and its wide-ranging programs and services along with entertainment and birthday cupcakes.

SIRONA BIOCHEM ANNOUNCES DIABETES PRECLINICAL RESULTS IN

CHRONIC STUDY

Sirona Biochem Corp.'s lead compound for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes significantly reduced fructosamine levels in a chronic preclinical study.

In a 28-day chronic dosing study of obese diabetic rats, Sirona Biochem's SGLT (sodium glucose transporter) inhibitor, SBM-TFC-039, normalized diabetes and significantly lowered fructosamine levels. Fructosamine is a standard biomarker that reflects the level of glucose in the blood, and is commonly used for monitoring diabetes.

In the chronic study, SBM-TFC-039 also reduced blood glucose levels by 48 per cent compared with the non-treated group. At the end of the study, the ratio of fructosamine to total protein of the treated rats was reduced by 25 per cent compared with the non-treated rats, and was within

10 per cent of the ratio for the control lean rats.

"We are very encouraged by the re-sults we have obtained from our acute and chronic preclinical studies in the obese diabetic rat model," said Dr. Howard Verrico, president and chief executive officer of Sirona Biochem. "Key members of our team, including our scientific advisory board, will be meeting in Vancouver this week to refine our preclinical development plan," Dr. Verrico added.

We seek Safe Harbor.

Abbott on fair and reasonable Bill 22Minister of Education George Abbott issued the following statement:On February 28th I introduced Bill 22 - the Education Improvement Act, leg-islation designed to suspend the current job action by teachers, set a cooling off period, appoint a mediator to facilitate bar-gaining, and implement a new $165-mil-lion Learning Improvement Fund.Most people are characterizing the bill as a measured, thoughtful, balanced and constructive approach to a dispute that has been going on for almost a year with little chance of a resolution.If you look at the history of the relation-ship between the teachers union and the government in this province, youll soon realize that in almost 20 years of prov-incewide bargaining the BCTF has only successfully concluded one negotiated agreement. You will also realize that Bill 22 is a measured and appropriate response to the current situation.I am disappointed by the initial com-ments coming from the teachers union. In the most frustrating example the union has been asking for mediation. Now, they are rejecting the idea simply because the mediator is required to strike a genuine balance in the discussions by looking at

what both parties want so we can put the needs of students first.

It is simply inaccurate for the BCTF to claim that Bill 22 eliminates job security rights, professional autonomy rights and rights to due process. In fact, the bill makes no changes to any of these matters. What it does do is simply get the parties back to the table with a mediator to deal with the issues at hand in a constructive and thoughtful way.I am always concerned that the state-ments by the teachers union will get in the way of teachers receiving accurate and factual information about the legisla-tion. It is one of the reasons why I hosted a Twitter chat to talk to teachers about the new bill. I enjoyed the opportunity to communicate directly with many teachers via Twitter.I hope the teachers union will drop the rhetoric and help us move forward. Im hoping that cooler heads will prevail and that people will engage in the very mean-ingful mediation process that has been set out in this bill. I also hope that, for the first time in a long time, we'll be able to get the kind of engagement that produces an agreement among the adults in the room so that kids in the classroom benefit.

Lower drug prices to benefit patients, health system

Th e M i n i s t r y o f Health is terminat-ing its generic drug pricing agreement with the B.C. Pharmacy Asso-ciation and the Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores, effective April 1. Health Minister Michael de Jong has asked staff to draft legislation to control and further lower the prices of generic drugs. Patients and the public health-care system can expect to save significant amounts of money on the cost of generic prescrip-tion drugs this year, said de Jong today.Currently, generic drugs cost 40 per cent of the brand name price. That rate is already scheduled to lower to 35 per cent on April 2.Through legislation, the Province will aim for a

reduction to 25 per cent of the cost of the brand name drug by April 1, 2013.The Province plans to have the legislation introduced during the spring sitting of the legislature. The Province expects to reinvest savings achieved in the health-care systems to enhance patient care in a variety of ways, including keeping PharmaCare af-fordable for lower-income B.C. seniors and fami-lies, increasing funding for pharmacy services such as medication management and in continuing to protect rural and remote pharma-cies. In July 2010, The Ministry of Health reached an agree-ment with the B.C. Phar-macy Association and the Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores to sig-nificantly lower the price of generic drugs. However,

the Province did not real-ize the estimated savings promised and is therefore terminating the agreement. The Province expects to recoup those losses fully and achieve additional sav-ings through a legislative framework.

Quick Facts:

An example of the ex-pected savings: a typical 30-day prescription of the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor costs $55, not in-cluding standard pharmacy fees.

The generic version of the drug costs 40 per cent of the brand name cost, or about $22.

Through the draft legisla-tion, the Province aims to lower the generic drug price to 25 per cent, or $14.

Consumer confidence rises much more than expected in February; home prices

declined in December

a . . T h e C o n f e r e n c e Boards measure of U.S. consumer confidence rose by 9.3 points to 70.8 points in February, well above market expectations for a reading of 63.0. b.. The present situation index increased from 38.8

in January to 45.0 in Feb-ruary while the expecta-tions component increased from 76.7 to 88.0. c.. The current employ-ment differential rose from -37.1 to -32.1. d.. In another release, housing prices fell by 0.5% in December. e.. Februarys increase in consumer confidence more than offsets Janu-arys surprising decline, and leaves the index at its highest level since Febru-ary 2011. That reading in turn represented the high-est level of the index since February 2008.

The Conference Boards measure of U.S. consumer

confidence increased by 9.3 points to 70.8 points in February, well above mar-ket expectations for a read-ing of 63.0. The increase follows a 3.3 point drop in January (initially reported as a 3.5 point decline), but is in line with strong gains seen in the previous two months.

The increase in consumer confidence in February reflected improvements in both the present situation and expectations compo-nents. Consumers apprais-als of current conditions rose from 38.8 in January to 45.0 in February, while expectations for the future

British Columbians lead the way in healthy livingBritish Columbians continue to live long and healthy lives, according to the 2010 Vital Statistics Annual Report from the Min i s t r y o f Health.

Life expectancy in B.C. remains the highest in Canada at 81.7 years for 2006-10, up from 81.4 for 2005-09. B.C.s population also grew naturally by 13,647 in 2010, or at rate of 2.8 per thousand.

The report states cancer death rates in B.C. are falling, supporting the Provinces leadership in cancer care, prevention and treatment result-ing in some of the best

cancer outcomes in the world. Heart disease mortality rates are lower and death rates from Al-zheimers, Parkinsons and multiple sclerosis have dropped to 1994 levels.

However, mortality rates for chronic diseases like diabetes have increased slightly from 2009. This further supports the need for the Provinces

comprehensive Healthy Families BC strategy, which helps families make the healthy choice the easy choice.

At 55, the number of HIV deaths in B.C. in 2010 is down from 63 in 2009, and the lowest since 1995. This lower figure can be attributed to 30 years of leading-edge research along with community and health

system efforts, which have helped turn HIV/AIDS from what was once a deadly epidemic into a chronic but man-ageable condition.

B.C. is the only province in Canada that is dem-onstrating a consistent decline in HIV. The BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, under the leadership of Dr. Julio Montaner, plays a cru-cial role in research and treatment, positioning B.C. as a world leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

The vital statistics docu-ment also found that just more than half the 2010 births in British Colum-bia were from mothers aged 30-39. In recent decades there has also

been a gradual increase in multiple birth rates in B.C., rising from 1.9 per cent of all live births in 1986 to 3.2 per cent in 2010.

The 139th edition of the Vital Statistics An-nual Report contains information collected from registrations of births, deaths, and mar-riages that happened in 2010. Information from the report is used for various aspects of health planning, research and education.

Quotes:

Minister of Health Mi-chael de Jong

This report demon-strates the importance of health prevention and awareness policies and

how many British Co-lumbians can lead long and healthy lives. We will continue to help and encourage people to move forward on this path, which builds healthy families and communities and takes the financial strain off the health-care system.

Provincial Health Offi-cer, Dr. Perry Kendall

Its very encouraging to see lower mortal-ity rates for cancer and heart disease in Brit-ish Columbia. Its my hope that even more people will be able to make choices that will reduce the risk factors for chronic disease, such as more exercise and eating reasonably well.
