SILVA has practical uses spanning a wide range of arenas. In matters of business and finance, SILVA techniques have been used for financial, legal and commercial interests. Mr Y.N Sharma, 55 yr old businessman successfully used SILVA techniques to secure a valuable business contract against all odds.
He says "SILVA is a valuable tool which has potential in many unexpected areas of life and work". Delhi based consultant Dr Bela credits SILVA with remarkable turnarounds in her fortunes, going from financial struggles to financial success in a few years. In matters of health, too SILVA has given remarkable results.

* Hacklike games typically don't have a surface level town (or towns), and those that do don't have stores that sell the adventurer's basic needs, like armor, weapons, and means of identifying items. You're entirely on your own, including figuring out how to identify all of those different objects you find. If they do have stores at all, they're inside the small, persistent maps, and have finite supplies, and don't suffice to make a permanent base of operations for the player.
* Spell casters don't need to carry around spellbooks with them; rather, they memorize the spells that they read from the spellbooks.
[[Category:Hacklikes|*]]
Hacklike games have five primary characteristics that separate them from Band type games:
Persistent levels: Once a particular level is generated, it stays that way. If you leave and re-enter the level, it will have the same layout, and the same monsters in the same state they were when you left.
Complex interactions of properties: While the commands for a roguelike are simple, the potential interactions are not. My favourite example is equipping a silver ring as a weapon in order to damage a creature vulnerable to silver, but not one's other weapons.
Small levels: Each level fits entirely within the text terminal in which it is being played. For Rogue, Hack and its descendants, this means the levels are about 80 squares wide and 20 squares high, though ADOM levels will grow or shrink to fit the size of the terminal the game is played in.
Inventory size: In Hacklike games you can carry around many more different types of items than in a Band type. Additionally, since levels are persistant, you can leave behind items you might want in the future, and then go back for them later.
Short Equipment Upgrade Path: In a Hacklike game, it is entirely possible that your starting equipment could be useable right to the end game. Identifying equipment is more important than upgrading it.
Identification by Use: (Knowledge is Power) Hacklike games tend to have more complex and harder identification methods. Finding out what a magic ring does is a minigame within the game, rather than being a set fee at a store. The necessity for this comes from the limited supply of identification items that results from small, persistent levels.
Shallower Power Curve: While one still turns into a demi-god by the end of the game, it is a factor of 10-20, not 100-200 (contrasting bands).
Other differences include:
Hacklike games typically don't have a surface level town (or towns), and those that do don't have stores that sell the adventurer's basic needs, like armor, weapons, and means of identifying items. You're entirely on your own, including figuring out how to identify all of those different objects you find.

When spouses separate, they are often not thinking clearly. Emotions run high, causing feelings ranging from sorrow to revenge to wanting it over with quickly. These emotions may lead to making the wrong decision in hiring a lawyer. But what attorney you choose at this stage is crucial to how the case progresses from start to finish and how much it costs in terms of financial and emotional cost. Most of the Dallas area family law judges will require spouses to negotiate in good faith and try to settle the contested issues prior to taking up the court's time in a hearing or trial. Are you picking the right lawyer to both negotiate for your best outcome and to litigate for you if necessary?
Carla Schiff Donnelly, a Pennsylvania family law attorney writing for the Huffington Post, suggests six tips to help avoid making the wrong choice in hiring a divorce attorney in her article Don't Get Stuck With The Wrong Lawyer: 6 Steps To Avoid the Most Common Divorce Mistake. Here are the first 3 of her points. I will discuss the remaining 3 points in our post What to ask an attorney during your first interview.
1. Identify the potential need for a divorce attorney early.
It is better to interview potential lawyers at a time when you are not under the pressure of choosing one. Once getting served with divorce papers you will be under the stress and time-crunch of choosing someone, turning the important factors from who is the best fit for your case to who is simply available at the time you require.
2. Reach out to trust sources for referrals.


The NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg met with Prime Minister Zaev on Thursday 12 July 2018 for a ceremony marking the beginning of accession talks with Skopje.
"I have just signed a letter informing Prime Minister Zaev of NATO's decision to invite his government in Skopje to begin accession talks with the Alliance", Mr. Stoltenberg said.
The ceremony followed the decision by NATO leaders at the Brussels Summit to invite the Government in Skopje to begin accession talks to join the Alliance, once the terms of the agreement between Athens and Skopje are met.
"For many years the members of your armed forces have participated in Allied missions. Helping to bring peace and security to Afghanistan. NATO has shown that the door to joining the Alliance is and remains open", the Secretary General said.
He stressed that the agreement on the name issue that the government in Skopje reached with Greece has removed the obstacle to the opening of accession talks.
"I know that the compromises involved were difficult for both parties. But I believe the agreement is in the best interests of your country and the wider region. I congratulate you and all those involved for their political courage. And their commitment to a better future", he said.
Mr. Stoltenberg highlighted that this has been a crucial breakthrough, which has opened the path for full NATO membership. He announced that detailed accession talks will now begin, to help the country make its final preparations for membership.
"Once all your national procedures are complete, and all NATO Allies have ratified your accession, you will become the thirtieth member of this Alliance. With a seat at our table. With an equal voice in our discussions. An equal vote in our decisions. And the security that comes with being part of the world's most successful military alliance. That will be a proud and important day for your country. For your region. And for NATO. We want to see you and your country at the heart of a stable, democratic and prosperous region", the Secretary General said.
Mr. Stoltenberg said that today is an important milestone in achieving that goal and that the coming months will be extremely busy.
"But today is a day to celebrate. So, congratulations to you, Prime Minister Zaev. And congratulations to your people", he said.

Ministers consider new business support loans from January
Details of the scheme could see loans of up to £10m guaranteed at 80pc
By Telegraph Reporters 13 December 2020 • 10:53pm
The Treasury is preparing changes to its coronavirus loans scheme when the current support measures end in January.
Ministers are considering changes to the business support funds that would include a guarantee of up to 80pc for loans of up to £10m, the Financial Times reported.
Banks would be allowed to set the interest rates on the new loans, expected to be capped at 15pc, and loans would be repaid over a six-year time frame.
In September, Rishi Sunak confirmed the Treasury would work on a "new, successor loan programme, set to begin in January".
The Government has been supporting businesses through the Covid crisis with bounce back loans that has supported £42bn of lending. These have a fixed interest of just 2.5 per cent.
It also offers £5m Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS).
The new loans scheme would vary from loans in the low thousands of pounds up to £10m to be repaid over six years, the Financial Times reported.
The Government's furlough scheme has already been extended to March with the system of tiers expected to last at least until Spring.
Its support loans, first introduced in March, have been repeatedly extended, first to September, then to November and most recently to January 31.
The Treasury said: "Our loan schemes have provided a lifeline to thousands of businesses across the UK — helping them survive this crisis and protecting millions of jobs. We are working on a new, successor loan scheme and will provide more details in due course."
The terms of the deal are still being thrashed out and it is possible the Treasury could extend its existing loans schemes beyond the end of January.

Q: mysql 5.7.11 revert to myisam I have installed wamp 3.0.6 and it install mysql 5.7.11.
But by default, I now end up with MyIsam tables.
In my.ini, I have default-storage-engine=MYISAM.
Why did it revert back to MyIsam?
The problem is that I'm teaching using WAMP and all my students have this problem. I know that I can simply change the my.ini file or change the var in phpmyadmin, but I wonder why it revert back?
thanks

A: It did not revert back, we intensionally set it back to default to MYISAM as many people were having many problems with corrupted INNODB databases.
A large proportion of WAMPServer users are first time users of all the technologies that make up WAMPServer.
Most never bother to do a database backup, until they get their first corruption.
Most dont bother to close WAMPServer down cleanly, and therefore INNODB can get corrupted more easily than MYISAM.
It was therefore deemed safer for the beginners to default to MYISAM and expect those that now what they are doing to amend the config, or specifically select INNODB in phpMyAdmin when they know that is the table type they want to use

Brunswick Billiards History Films
May 23, 2015 | Behind the Scenes, Video Production
After 170 years, the proud team at Brunswick Billiards decided to have its story told through a collection of short films. Legendary host Bill Kurtis served as the host and was joined by world-renowned billiards champion Ewa Mataya Laurance, aka "The Striking Viking".
The first film, "A Family Business", focused on how the company's founder, John Moses Brunswick immigrated to America and found his calling after seeing a luxury billiards table. The film also explains how Brunswick grew exponentially, making its mark across America and internationally.
Brunswick Billiards – A Family Business

How should I store my bulbs?
To store bulbs, wait until the first frost has browned and crisped the foliage. Then either dig up the bulbs and store them in peat moss in paper bags in a cool, dark place for the winter (think crawl space or garage, a place that gets cold but does not freeze), or simply store the bulbs in the pots and soil in a cool dark place in your garage or area that is unheated but does not freeze. In either case, check on them every month or so throughout the winter and water slightly, only if everything is bone dry. Then next spring, around mid to late April, you will notice some sprouts coming from the bulbs. You can then put them outside (or replant in pots if not already) during the day on a nicer day (50 degrees or above), give a good drink, and take in at night, until nighttime temperatures are reliably above 55 or 60 degrees (usually May 15 or later).


The 6th Commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Kill," Does This Command Forbid All Killing?
Does this command forbid all killing?
1) Is it wrong for governmental authorities to execute a murderer (Genesis 9:6; Romans 13:1-5)?
2) Was it wrong for the Israelites to kill and utterly destroy the inhabitants of the promised land (Deut. 7:1-2)?
3) Was it wrong for Saul and his army to kill and utterly destroy the Amalekites, including every man, woman, infant and suckling (1 Samuel 15)? Was Saul punished for his disobedience to God in not killing them all?
4) Was it wrong for God to kill and destroy every person on the face of the earth, with the exception of eight people (Genesis chapters 6-8)? Did God break the sixth commandment?
5) Was it wrong for David to kill Goliath, a man who defied the God of Israel (1 Samuel 17)?
6) Was it wrong for Phinehas to take a javelin and thrust it through an Israelite man and his heathen lover, killing both of them with one piercing blow (Numbers 25:7-8)? Was God angered or pleased by this killing (Numbers 25:10-13)? Were other lives saved because of this killing (Numbers 25:8-9)?
7) Was it wrong for Elijah to kill hundreds of the prophets of the false god BAAL (1 Kings 18)?
8) Was it wrong for the congregation of Israel to kill a man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath day (Numbers 15:32-36)?
9) Is it wrong for a policeman to use his gun and perhaps even kill someone in order to protect the innocent and enforce the law?
10) Is it wrong for a soldier to kill someone on the battlefield?
Failure to understand the true intent of the Sixth Commandment has led to several serious errors, including the following: 1) Opposition to the Death Penalty, often led by members of the clergy. See Capital Punishment; 2) Pacifism, refusing to go to war because God says, "Thou shalt not kill."
The word "kill" in Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17 means "murder." The proper translation is THOU SHALT NOT MURDER. It is interesting that in Matthew 19:18 the KJV correctly translates the Sixth Commandment: "Thou shalt do no murder." The Hebrew word (ratsach) and the Greek Word (phonenō) which are used in the Sixth Commandment both clearly mean "murder." The Hebrew language has a general word for killing (the verb muwth, meaning "to cause to die") and the Greek language has a general word for killing (the verb apokteinō), but these general terms for killing are not used in the Sixth Commandment. Instead very specific words are used which forbid MURDER.
All murder is killing but not all killing is murder.
Murder involves killing unlawfully with premeditated malice. It involves a deliberate, planned, pre-mediated attack against a fellow human being for the purpose of taking his life for reasons that are purely sinful. Examples of killing that do not fall into the category of murder are found at the beginning of this paper (see the ten examples given above).
There is also the kind of killing that is unintentional, such as when a person causes the death of a person by accident. God made full provision for this kind of killing by setting up cities of refuge in the land of Israel (see Numbers 35:1-34 and Deuteronomy 19:1-10). Accidental killing is rightly classified as killing but it is not murder. The Bible makes a clear distinction between someone who kills a person accidentally without ever having hated the person (Deut. 19:4), and someone who murders a person by lying in wait for him (Deut. 19:11). The latter is an example of a carefully planned and premeditated murder motivated by hatred.
Human life is precious and to be highly valued, for man is made in the image of God (Gen. 9:6). We live in a society which gives little respect to human life, as demonstrated by rampant abortion rate and the frightful and widespread allowance of euthanasia, etc. While the taking of a human life is never to be taken lightly, nevertheless the consistent teaching of the Scripture is that there are times when the taking of human life is justified. Woe to that society that fails to punish evildoers with a punishment that fits the crime (Romans 13:1-5). Woe to that nation that fails to defend itself and its borders against terrorist groups and tyrannical nations who are bent upon destroying the very fabric of our society. When the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbor the great majority of Americans recognized that a war response was needed, necessary, just and right.
Warfare, as terrible as it it, is sometimes necessary in this sinful world, and the reader should be reminded that the greatest battlefield slaughter of all time will take place in the future at Christ's second coming. This great and final battle will be led by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Himself (see Revelation 19:11-19).

World Sports News in Brief
Cilic offers Nadal a Wimbledon reality check
Spain's Rafael Nadal in action during his semi final match against Serbia's Novak Djokovic - Wimbledon - All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, London, Britain - July 14, 2018. (Photo: Reuters)
Spaniard Rafael Nadal got a quickfire reminder of the challenge he faces to win a third Wimbledon title as he was blown away by big-serving Marin Cilic in an exhibition match on Wednesday.
Nadal, who turned 33 this month, has opted not to play any competitive tournaments on grass ahead of the Championships, practising instead at home on grass in Mallorca. He lacked sharpness at the Hurlingham Club in London as a well-drilled Cilic sent him packing in less than an hour - a sweating Nadal going straight from court to a waiting black Rolls Royce and away minutes after his 6-3 6-3 defeat.
* Valencia have signed Netherlands goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen from Barcelona on a four-year deal, both Spanish clubs said on Wednesday. Cillessen played 32 times in three seasons for Barca, never managing to unseat German Marc-Andre ter Stegen as the club's number one goalkeeper.
* FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Cameroon after an ill-tempered 3-0 loss to England in the last 16 of the Women's World Cup on Sunday, during which they reacted furiously to two VAR decisions. Several Cameroon players remonstrated with the referee and for a long time refused to restart the match after England's second goal was ruled offside and then allowed after a VAR review. Cameroon then thought they had pulled a goal back early in the second half, but VAR again ruled against them for a marginal offside - sparking more chaotic scenes.
* A trio of former world number ones stormed into the quarter-finals at Eastbourne on Wednesday with Angelique Kerber, Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova all sharpening their grasscourt games ahead of Wimbledon. Reigning Wimbledon champion Kerber beat Swede Rebecca Peterson 7-6(4) 6-0 and Pliskova crushed Elise Mertens 6-1 6-2, although Halep was pushed hard by Polona Hercog before emerging with a 6-1 4-6 6-3 victory.
* FIFA on Wednesday defended its VAR review system, saying referees had reached a 98% accuracy rate in decision-making during the group stage of the Women's World Cup in France.
* Former Brazil midfielder Oscar scored the winning penalty in a shootout as Shanghai SIPG knocked twice winners Jeonbuk Motors out of the Asian Champions League on Wednesday.
* After missing Senegal's opening Africa Cup of Nations match against Tanzania, forward Sadio Mane is expected to make his long-awaited first appearance of this year's tournament when they face Algeria in Group C on Thursday. The 27-year-old, who is taking part in the event for the third time, sat out the Tanzania game through suspension for the accumulation of yellow cards during the qualifying competition.
* Holders Cameroon have had their request to replace forward Joel Tagueu, ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations because of a possible heart defect, rejected by the Confederation of African Football. The 25-year-old, who plays for Portuguese club Maritimo, had an "anomaly in his coronary artery detected by team doctor William Ngatchou, which risks his life if he were to play," the Cameroon Football Federation said on Monday.
* Brighton & Hove Albion have signed midfielder Leandro Trossard from Belgian top-flight side KRC Genk on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, the Premier League club said on Wednesday. Trossard, 24, is the south-coast club's second signing of the close season following the arrival of Matt Clarke from Portsmouth last week. He scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 34 games as Genk won the league title last season.
* The International Olympic Committee has outlined plans to overhaul the bidding process for future Games, stating that cities interested in hosting the Games should hold referendums before submitting official tenders to avoid having to withdraw their candidacy at a later date.
* Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace on a long-term contract, it was reported on Wednesday. The BBC report added that the deal would be worth £50 million, with the England Under-21 international set to travel to Old Trafford for a medical shortly.
* Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho has been ruled out of Brazil's Copa America quarterfinal against Paraguay with a knee injury, Selecao boss Tite said on Wednesday. Fernandinho missed the hosts' 5-0 win over Peru on Saturday because of pain in his right knee and, despite intense physiotherapy, the 34-year-old has failed to recover in time for Thursday's clash at Arena do Gremio.
* The membership of the International Olympic Committee expanded to 105 after 10 new members were elected to the body at the 134th IOC session in Lausanne, Switzerland on Wednesday.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinians have been wondering if Hamas is trying to replace the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom commercial crossing with the Egypt-controlled Rafah land crossing, which is currently dedicated to individuals only. Kerem Shalom is considered the only outlet for the Gaza Strip to receive humanitarian goods.
Palestinian protesters on May 11 raided the Kerem Shalom crossing east of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, and set it on fire during the Great Return March, which began March 30. Hamas, which controls the security services in the Gaza Strip, didn't prevent the incident, which raises questions about the movement's goal. Previously, the same crossing had been burned on May 4 and after some repairs, it reopened May 6.
After Kerem Shalom was burned, Egypt opened on May 12 the Rafah land crossing, about 2 miles from Kerem Shalom, as an alternative. Dozens of trucks carrying construction materials, fuel and foodstuffs entered the Rafah crossing. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on May 18 ordered that Rafah remain open throughout the Muslim holy month of Ramadan for individuals and for trucks bringing in humanitarian aid.
The Gaza Strip is linked to three crossings: the Israel-controlled Erez crossing for individuals, the Israel-controlled Kerem Shalom commercial crossing and the Egypt-controlled Rafah land crossing for individuals. Egypt also allows commercial trucks to enter Gaza through the Saladin gate, next to the Rafah crossing entrance, as per previous agreements reached with Hamas during repeated meetings in Cairo in the past few months.
Hamas handed over control of the crossings to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its ruling Fatah party in November 2017 as part of a reconciliation agreement signed the month before in Cairo. The Saladin gate wasn't handed over, however, as it's considered an unofficial gate that's not included in the Agreement on Movement and Access reached between Israel and the PA in 2005. Thus, the gate doesn't fall under the control of the PA, but it is supervised by Hamas.
After the fire caused serious damage, Israel closed the Kerem Shalom crossing. General Petroleum Corp. in the Gaza Strip issued a circular May 12 ordering all gas distributing stations to halt sales and distribution until further notice.
Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing May 15 after some repair work. Trucks laden with medical supplies for the Ministry of Health in Gaza entered the crossing, as well as trucks carrying fuel for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
US Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt in a May 13 tweet also accused Hamas of being responsible for burning the crossing and strangling its own people in Gaza.
Jamal Muhaisen, a member of Fatah's Revolutionary Council, accused Hamas of instigating the Kerem Shalom burning to undermine the PA's control over it and to prevent the PA from collecting taxes on merchandise reaching Gaza through this crossing.
According to Qassem, protesters burned the crossing as a natural reaction of bitterness to the Israeli blockade on Gaza since 2007.
Muhaisen said Hamas seeks to replace the Kerem Shalom crossing with the Saladin gate at the Rafah crossing so Hamas, rather than the PA, can collect taxes imposed on the merchandise. He argued that this plan aims at cementing Hamas' control on the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has often asked Egypt to open the Rafah crossing permanently and turn it into a commercial crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
However, Okal emphasized that the PA should have a hand in any new commercial crossing, to pursue unity between Gaza and the West Bank and to avoid feeding into the rift or encouraging two separate authorities for the Palestinian people.
Still, the PA is concerned about potential attempts to burn and shut down the crossing again, given that Hamas still controls security in Gaza. That makes the scenario of the Rafah crossing replacing Kerem Shalom more likely. The PA would then be deprived of collecting taxes on merchandise entering Gaza, and those taxes would go to Hamas' treasury.

[Editor's note: The interviewee in this serial whose name is deleted is Bob Flick, the producer for the NBC news team who accompanied Leo Ryan to Guyana. The deleted information from the memorandum – designated by brackets – which is known to the editor has been indicated by red type.]
[Name deleted] [Robert Flick], Room 2075-2076, Caribe Hilton Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico, was advised of the identities of the interviewing Agents by a display of credentials. He was advised he was being interviewed concerning a possible Federal violation in connection with the death [of] United States Congressman Leo J. Ryan. Thereafter he provided the following information:
[Bob Flick] is employed by [NBC News]. He has been employed for [3 lines heavily redacted].
He was contacted by [name deleted] California. He was asked to do a story on "Peoples Temple". After discussing this with [name deleted], he decided he would accept this assignment.
The news article was to be conducted with the assistance of [information deleted] had conducted investigative stories of similar nature in the past and had talked with Congressman Leo Ryan concerning the Peoples Temple. The Network News had numerous communications from concerned relatives of members of the Peoples Temple. A minimal amount of preparation was made for [Bob Flick]. He was [next two lines deleted].
Also hired as a consultant for the story was Gordon Lindsey [Lindsay]. Gordon Lindsey is a freelance news man who operates in Los Angeles, California. He has business telephone [number deleted] and residence phone [number deleted].
Preparatory photographic shootings were made at the Peoples Temple at San Francisco and a limited number of interviews were made at the Temple to prepare the background for this story.
The filming crew was boarded on the United Airlines
flight from San Francisco, California on November 13, 1978, to New York, New York. Also on this flight was Congressman Leo Ryan and two aides. These aides were Jacky Spiers [Jackie Speier], who handled logistic matters for the Congressman. Another aide, Jim (last name unknown) [Schollaert].
Also on the same flight and a member of the news media contingent for the story was Tim Reitterman [Reiterman]. Mr. Reitterman is a writer for the San Francisco Examiner. Mr. Reitterman had written stories concerning the Peoples Temple previous to this story. Greg Robinson was taken as a photographer for Tim Reitterman.
Other news media members were Ron Javers, who is a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle. Ron Javers was chosen to represent the San Francisco Chronicle because the Chronicle had written several detrimental stories concerning the Peoples Temple and the Chronicle believed it would be best to send a different writer.
Also on this flight were approximately 22 family members of people who were at the Peoples Temple community settlement, Jonestown, Guyana. These family members were representatives of the group called "Concerned Relatives of Peoples Temple" (CRPT).
After arriving in New York on November 13, 1978, [Bob Flick] went to his corporate offices. He had meetings with [names deleted]. During these meetings he finalized his decision to conduct the story and made final preparations for the story and departure to Georgetown, Guyana.
November 14, 1978, [Bob Flick] departed from New York, New York on Pan-American flight at 3 PM bound for Georgetown, Guyana. The flight proceeded to Trinidad where it refueled. While in Trinidad a foreign correspondent assigned to Latin America for the Washington Post joined the media. Also on this flight were the above-mentioned individuals who departed San Francisco, California en route to Georgetown.
The flight arrived at approximately midnight on November 14, 1978, at Georgetown. [Bob Flick] was the first member of the media to pass through customs. All of the appropriate visas for journalists had been obtained by [Bob Flick] for he and his crew. There was very little trouble for he and his crew to enter Guyana. The entry for other members of the media and Concerned Relatives of Peoples Temple was not as easy. When Ron Javers attempted to pass through customs, the authorities seized his passport and wallet. They refused to admit him to Guyana. He was detained as the Guyanese authorities found $230 in Guyanese currency in his suitcase. This currency has a value of about $100 US. It was explained that there is a law that no one may remove more than $15 Guyanese currency from the country and no one may bring in Guyanese currency. The authorities held Mr. Javers for approximately 14 hours. [Bob Flick] remained with Mr. Javers during this time and both were released the following day.
On November 15, 1978, [Bob Flick] joined the other news media and Concerned Parents at the Pegasus Hotel, Georgetown, Guyana.
The following three or four days were necessitated to obtain the proper permits from local authorities to make the trip to Jonestown, Guyana.
During these meetings, discussions, and so forth, Charles Garry and Mark Lane interceded on behalf of the Peoples Temple. Both these men are known to [Bob Flick] as Attorneys from the United States who represent the Peoples Temple. [Bob Flick] described these two Attorneys as "radical attorneys". These Attorneys have defended radical defendants in the past, including James Earl Ray.
After these meetings were held, it was decided that four members of the Concerned Relatives of Peoples Temple would be permitted to have access to the Peoples Temple. These people were Jim Cobb. [Bob Flick] described Jim Cobb as a young Negro male who was a dental student. Mr. Cobb was a former member of the Peoples Temple. Steven Karsaris [Katsaris] was also admitted. An unnamed black lady [Beverly Oliver] was the third member of the committee to be admitted. The fourth member of the committee was a 30-year-old woman [Carol Boyd] who is a sister of one of the residents of Peoples Temple.
Also included in this party were members of the media, the Congressman Ryan and aide Jacky Spiers. A member of the United States Embassy at Georgetown, Guyana, was also included in this group. The man's name was Richard Dwyer. The last member of this group was [Neville Annibourne] a local representative of the Guyanan Government who accompanied the media and family members.
The decision as to who would be permitted to the settlement was made by the authorities at the Peoples Temple. Charles Garry relayed a message that Gordon Lindsey would not be welcome and it was agreed that Lindsey would not accompany the media to the Peoples Temple. An agreement was made among the news people to provide Gordon Lindsey with the information and photographs he may need.
At approximately 3 PM on November 17, 1978, the group boarded a Guyanese airline and flew from Georgetown, Guyana to Jonestown, Guyana. The plane arrived in Jonestown at approximately 4:30 PM. The plane was met by two Port Kituma [Kaituma] police. The group was provided transportation in a truck owned and operated by Peoples Temple.
[Bob Flick] advised they were transported by this truck approximately 10 to 15 miles through narrow roads in jungle terrain. The road had clearings of no more than 20 yards on either side of the highway and traveled through very rough roads with much bush on either side of the roads.
Upon arriving at the Peoples Temple, they were taken to a large "pavilion" style building. This was a building with roof and open on four sides. [Bob Flick] spoke with Reverend Jones and was advised what parameters were to be set up for interviews with the people and officials of Peoples Temple. Interviews of these people were conducted with spotlights and cameras. This was necessary as it was darkening and becoming night. The people that were all interviewed appeared to be happy. There were many reunions of loved ones. [Bob Flick] advised he questioned each person as to whether or not they wanted their pictures taken and if the response was negative, no photographs were taken. After these interviews and initial meetings were held, the
Peoples Temple provided a band and quasi-party.
When this show terminated, [Bob Flick] requested permission to spend the evening at the Temple. Reverend Jones refused to allow any sleeping accommodations and advised they must leave the compound. [Bob Flick] advised that the journalists would be glad to sleep on the floor and that no sleeping facilities would be necessary. Reverend Jones denied this and advised the people must leave.
Congressman Ryan and his aide stayed at the compound during the night. Also at the compound were the attorneys Charles Garry and Mark Lane.
During the show which was put on for the visitors, a man named Vern Gosley [Gosney] passed a note in block letters to Don Harris, NBC News. The note stated that Vern Gosley was in fear of his life and that he needed help in leaving Guyana. No mention of this note was made to Congressman Ryan. Upon return to Puerto Rico, this note was passed from [Bob Flick] to Don Dunkel, Vice President of News, NBC, New York, New York.
At approximately 11 PM, Reverend Jones requested the people return to their truck and return to Jonestown [Port Kaituma]. Arrangements were made for the news people and relatives to return the following morning at daybreak.
Although the truck was to return at daybreak for the media, it did not arrive until approximately 11 AM Saturday morning. The journalists took this to mean that Reverend Jones was attempting to shorten their work time as the departure from the Georgetown [Jonestown] area had been set for approximately 2:30 PM that date. The news media was transported back to the Peoples Temple with the Concerned Relatives.
Further interviews were conducted with taping sessions. Several people were interviewed and family members spoke with the visiting Concerned Parents. Interviews were filmed with Reverend Jones and attorneys Charles Garry and Mark Lane. Reverend Jones appeared hostile during these interviews and included much rhetoric concerning the use of the news media concerning his Peoples Temple. At
approximately 2 PM Reverend Jones announced "Why not leave", "Get out of here". Don Harris explained to Reverend Jones that they had obtained information and interviews during their time at the Peoples Temple. He advised Reverend Jones that he could assure him that the reporting of these interviews would be fair. Jones replied "I hope I live to see you be fair".
During the stay at the compound, [Bob Flick] observed no weapons were observed and it was advised that there were only hunting weapons. As preparations were made for return to Jonestown [Georgetown], there were approximately 10 to 12 defectors who accompanied the news media and Congressman. Just prior to departure after the majority of the people had boarded the truck, Congressman Ryan returned to the pavilion. The pavilion was approximately 500 yards from the truck. [Bob Flick] advised that a scuffle ensued at the Pavilion which he could not see. He could hear noises coming from this area but could not see what was happening. Moments later Congressman Ryan returned to the truck and had bloodstains on his shirt.
Congressman Ryan got on the truck and everyone departed. There are approximately 30 people on the truck of which 10 to 12 were defectors.
The last person to board the truck was a young American male described as five feet six inches tall, 135 pounds, late 20s, slight build, dirty blonde, curly hair, deep-set piercing blue eyes, wearing a white shirt, white pants and rain parka. Later this man was identified as Larry Layton.
While on the ride back to Georgetown [Port Kaituma], Congressman Ryan explained that when he returned to the pavilion and was talking to Reverend Jim Jones, an unidentified white American male grabbed him from behind. This man put a knife point to his throat. Congressman Ryan explained that he was able to grab the man's arm and slide slightly away. Someone at the gathering then grabbed the assailant and forced him to the ground. Congressman Ryan advised when he turned he saw the man laying on the ground stabbed with a knife that had been placed against his throat.
Congressman Ryan advised him that both attorneys, Mark Lane and Charles Garry, were present during this assault. He noted that they had assisted in saving his life.
While en route to Jonestown [Port Kaituma], Larry Layton did not speak to anyone. Upon arriving at the airport which was at approximately 3 PM, everyone disembarked from the truck and took all of the equipment from the truck. The planes were not at the airstrip as had been previously arranged.
Congressman Ryan provided approximately 10 minute interview to [Bob Flick] in the adjacent metal shed. This shed was next to the airstrip.
At approximately three-thirty, two airplanes landed. One was a twin-engine Otter. The second was a single-engine plane. As there were approximately 30 people to depart and only 25 seats, it was necessary to decide who would stay and who would leave. [Bob Flick] advised that he had decided that he and his crew would stay and allow the others to depart. During this whole wait, Larry Layton had been leaning against the shed with the parka over his clothes. When it came time to load the passengers on the first plane, namely, single-engine plane, Larry Layton announced that he was to be one of the five people. He stated that Congressman Ryan had promised that he would be included in this group. Congressman Ryan's aide questioned the congressman concerning this and advised that this, in fact, was his wish. The plane was loaded with four people, Tony Katsaris, Vern Gosley, a lady who was a member of the Concerned Relatives and Larry Layton. The single-engine plane began to taxi to the end of the airstrip.
Jim Cobb then noted to [Bob Flick] that a tractor pulling a metal-sided trailer and the truck in which they had been brought, came to the scene across the runway. Then, just as quickly, this tractor-trailer appeared within 100 yards of the twin-engine Otter. [Bob Flick] advised he recognized the driver of the truck as the same man that had driven the party from the Peoples Temple to Jonestown. Also, he identified one of the men standing in the truck as a blonde man. He advised there were approximately one half dozen men
standing in the truck and trailer. He could not see this people with the exception of shoulders and heads.
Another truck then drove right to the airplane. This truck had the Guyana police. One of the officers got out of the truck and stood near the airplane with a shotgun. The man stood to the side with this shotgun. [Bob Flick] observed that the people began to applaud when the police appeared. There was degree of anticipation that something bad was going to happen. He believed this was the reason for the Peoples reaction.
[Bob Flick] was standing on the ground in front of the twin-engine Otter talking to the pilot. The pilot was advising him that it would be impossible to return that day for he and his film crew. The return flight would have to be delayed until the next day because of darkness. While they were discussing this return, he heard two shots from behind him. He turned around and saw that the left front tire of the twin-engine Otter had been shot out. At that moment the little single-engine plane was at a ninety-degree angle to the runway, approximately 150 yards towards the end of the runway. Seconds after the first two shots, there was a barrage of gunfire. [Bob Flick] ran approximately 15 yards to an adjacent metal building and lay on the ground for safety. He witnessed the people coming from the Peoples Temple truck walking across the airfield firing handguns and rifles at the news media members. He witnessed these people walking close to the wounded and at point-blank range firing into the bodies of the wounded. He remained in that location for a moment and then got to his feet. He remembered the Guyanese aircraft that had been parked at the end of the runway when they arrived the day before. The aircraft had a damaged nose wheel and had been guarded by Guyanese soldiers. He ran along the runway towards this airplane. He asked the Guyanese soldier to offer protection to the news people who were being fired upon by these assailants. The Guyanese soldier refused to give him any assistance. He then asked the Guyanese soldier to give him a gun so that he may protect himself. The soldier denied this request also.
During the shooting he witnessed the gunman waving the Guyanese citizens out of the way in an effort to
protect them.
When he was near the wrecked airplane, he was approximately 15 to 20 yards from the single-engine plane. He heard shots from inside of the plane. The captain jumped out of the airplane and said "Everyone out". No one else exited the airplane.
He then crossed the runway and ran back though the brush for protection to the twin-engine Otter. When he reached the Otter, he found several members of his crew and Congressman Ryan dead. The assailants had departed in the above-described truck and were gone. Congressman Ryan was laying beside the right front landing gear. He had apparently been wounded and was shot in the head. Bob Brown was laying under the tail of the plane. He had been shot in the head in his head blown partially away. Don Harris was laying centership and had powder burns on his clothing, meaning that he had been shot at very close range. The still photographer, Greg Robinson, was laying behind the wheel of the tire that have been shot out.
He looked for Jim Cobb, as he felt Cobb was one of the other people capable of self-protection due to his physical stature. He could not find Cobb and to his knowledge Cobb is still somewhere in the jungle.
The people that were critically wounded, were taken to a place approximately 50 yards into the jungle. He and Mr. Dwyer made a litter and carried the wounded to this location. He spoke with the three pilots. The pilots advised that he had been broadcasting during the attack. The pilot stated that he had advised by radio that the people were dead and that the congressman had been killed. The pilot advised that there should be help at the airstrip within one hour and 15 [minutes] to one hour and 45 minutes. The pilot reiterated that the news had been sent out and that helicopters would be coming soon. The three pilots then boarded the single-engine airplane and left.
[Bob Flick] advised at that point they had three options. Option number one was to hide where they were in the jungle, option number two was to go to the Guyanese Army tent at the end of the runway, and option number three was to go to town. [Bob Flick] decided that it would be best for the
wounded to remain at the airstrip.
The following morning, after approximately 14 hours, it was daylight. Thereafter, approximately 130 Guyanese troops arrived. [Bob Flick] spoke with the Commanding Officer and suggested that he deploy these men on the airfield so that a plane could land safely. The officer did this. [Bob Flick] concern was that the assailants may still be in the jungle and the possibility existed that if a plane landed it would also be assaulted.
Soon after deploying the troops a twin-engine Otter appeared and again the problem of not enough room was encountered. The seats were removed from the airplane and the wounded were loaded first. Eventually, all of the people were removed by the plane to Georgetown. At Georgetown, [Bob Flick] advised he was met by the United States Air Force paratroopers. Their luggage was searched and the people searched.
[Bob Flick] had told the United States officials of the arrest of Larry Layton at Port Kituma. While at the airport in port Kituma, a fellow-member of the media said "Christ". "There he is". This was in reference to Larry Layton being at Port Kituma.
[Bob Flick] told the local police there that he was given the automatic revolver that Layton had used to shoot the fellow passengers in the single-engine plane. The gun was then given to Richard Dwyer. Based upon this information, the local police arrested Layton.
Larry Layton was taken into custody and to the police station. During that evening the police returned to advise him that they needed help in guarding the prisoner. He advised them that he could not provide anyone to guard the prisoner.
He then made arrangements for a flight on a Lear jet which was chartered by [Bob Flick] and returned to Puerto Rico.
[Bob Flick] advised that he would be willing to provide a signed statement concerning this information. A signed statement was prepared in his presence by dictating to a stenographer. He witnessed the dictation of the statement and was advised it would be typed and brought for his signing on November 21, 1978, at 11 AM. He acknowledged the information in this signed statement to be true and correct before interviewing Agents.
He advised that due to the late hour and the length of interview, he wished to terminate the interview at this point if possible. It was noted that there were two reporters from Newsweek magazine who had waited approximately four hours for a conversation with [Bob Flick].
On November 21, 1978, [Bob Flick] read this FD302 advised that it is true and correct to the best of his knowledge, and signified so by initially each page.
[Name deleted] [Robert Flick] was informed of the identity of interviewing Agents. He furnished a signed statement which is as follows:
I, [Robert Flick] furnish the following voluntary statement to Special Agents [names deleted] who have identified themselves to me as Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. [Next three lines of autobiographical information deleted]
On November 13, 1978, I [2 lines deleted relating to news crew] I departed San Francisco, California at 10 PM on United Airlines Flight number 24 destined for New York, New York. In my company were Don Harris, correspondent; Bob Brown, cameraman; [line of text identifying Steve Sung deleted]. Also on this commercial airline flight were Congressman Ryan [line of text identifying Jackie Speier and Jim Schollaert deleted]. Other media people were [line of text identifying Tim Reiterman, Greg Robinson and Ron Javers deleted] and approximately 22 family members of people residing at the "Peoples Temple" located in Guyana.
From New York I departed on Pan Am flight number 227 at 3 PM, on November 14, 1978, to continue on to the final destination of Georgetown, Guyana. During the next two to three days meetings were held to set up the trip and story concerning the people at Jonestown. After intermediary action by attorneys Charles Garry and Mark Lane the trip to
"People's Temple" was scheduled for Friday, November 17, 1978. I departed in the company of [deleted words], four members of the family representatives, other members of the media and Congressman Ryan with his aide. Also accompanying was (first name unknown) [Richard] Dwyer, a member of the US Embassy in Georgetown, Guyana, and [Neville Annibourne] a representative of the Guyana government. We flew from Georgetown to Port Kaituma on a chartered airplane of Guyana Airways and arrived at approximately 3 PM, on November 17, 1978. At approximately 4:30 PM I departed in a truck provided by "People's Temple" bound for "People's Temple". It was approximately 10 to 15 miles by truck through narrow jungle roads.
Upon arriving the news party was given a limited opportunity to meet and interview family members who resided there and to conduct limited discussions with Reverend Jones. Reverend Jones explained to me the parameters of my interviews and filming. A band and show were provided for us. During this show a man who was residing at the compound, Vern Gosley, gave a note to [my NBC correspondent] Don Harris. [several words deleted] this note which was in block print saying that Vern Gosley needed help and wanted to leave. The note was brought with me to Puerto Rico and I turned it over to [Don Dunkel, Vice President of News, NBC, New York, New York (previously identified)].
I was told by Reverend Jones that there was no accommodations for sleeping and we must leave the compound. At approximately 11 PM, on November 17, 1978, I left the compound in the company of the media and family members. Mark Lane, Charles Garry, Congressman Ryan and his aide remained at the compound that evening.
Arrangements were made upon their returning to Port Kaituma on transportation back to the compound at daybreak on Saturday, November 18, 1978. The transportation arrived at approximately
11 AM on that date and I returned in the company of the fellow media members and family representatives to "People's Temple". I continued the interviews and filming. I was provided a limited tour of the compound. At approximately 2 PM Reverend Jones asked, "Why don't you leave?" "Get out of here." The members of the media and family as well as approximately 10 to 12 "defectors" were placed on a flatbed truck for departure. Also Congressman Ryan and his aide prepared to leave.
Just prior to leaving Congressman Ryan returned to the pavilion which was approximately 500 yards from the truck where I was sitting. I could hear a scuffle but did not witness any of the happenings. Congressman Ryan came from the compound with blood on his shirt in a shaken condition. He climbed into the truck and at this same time a white male described as approximately 5'6″ tall, weighing 135 pounds, in his late 20s with a slight build and dirty blonde curly hair, got into the truck. He was wearing a white shirt in my pants which were partially covered by a rain poncho. Later this man was identified to me as Larry Layton. He stood in the back of the truck and did not speak to anyone.
Congressman Ryan told me personally that when he returned to the "Temple" and was talking to Reverend Jones in an effort to get the release of approximately eight other people residing in the compound, an unidentified man grabbed him from behind and put the point of a knife to his throat. The congressman advised he grabbed the assailant's arm and managed to slide partially to the side of the assailant, at which point someone in the group came to his assistance and wrestled the assailant to the ground. Congressman Ryan stated when he turned around, the assailant was lying on the floor and had been stabbed by the same knife. Congressman Ryan advised that present during this assault and witnesses to this assault were attorneys
Charles Garry and Mark Lane. The truck departed the compound and returned to the airfield at Port Kaituma. I arrived at Port Kaituma between 3:00 and 3:30 PM.
Previous arrangements had been made for air transportation at 2:30 PM, but there were no airplanes at the airport when I arrived.
[My news crew] conducted an interview with Congressman Ryan at a metal shed adjacent to the airfield. At approximately 3:45 PM a twin engine Otter and a single engine airplane arrived. As there were only approximately 25 seats available and some 30 people to depart, I decided to remain with [my crew] until one of the planes returned.
During this preparation for flight Larry Layton had remained off to the side leaning against a building. When the choosing of passengers was made he demanded to be a member of the passengers for the single engine plane. He advised the congressman's aide that he had been promised by Congressman Ryan a seat on this plane. The aide checked with Congressman Ryan and confirmed this. Four other passengers and Larry Layton were put on the plane and the plane taxied to a takeoff position.
Jim Cobb called to my attention a tractor pulling a metal trailer and the truck in which we had been brought to the airport. I saw the same driver who drove us from the compound driving this truck and a blonde haired male standing on the trailer. There were other men standing on the trailer whom I cannot identify. These vehicles stopped approximately 50 yards from my location, i.e., the Otter aircraft. A police vehicle drove to my location and a police officer with a shotgun stood near the twin engine Otter as though he were guarding the plane. I was talking with the pilot of the twin engine Otter when I heard two shots. At that point I was standing on the ground
[discussing the return of the plane for my film crew (information released in narrative portion)]. I turned around and saw the left tire had been shot out. The single engine plane was at a 90 degree angle to the runway making preparations for departure.
After the two shots there was a pause and then there was a barrage of fire which originated from the area of the truck and spread out around the immediate area of the twin engine Otter and into the "bush". It seemed to me as though the shots were coming from the whole surrounding area of the aircraft. I ran from under the plane approximately 15 yards to a metal shed and laid on the ground for protection. From this location I could see the assailants shooting at the news party and shooting point blank at the wounded as they lay on the ground.
I got up and ran to the other end of the airfield remembering I had previously seen a damaged aircraft being guarded by a Guyanese soldier who was carrying what I thought to be an automatic weapon. I tried to persuade him to assist us by firing at the assailants; however, when he refused I tried to persuade him to give me the weapon, to no avail.
At this location I was approximately 10 to 15 yards from the single engine plane which had come to rest. I heard gunshots from within the plane. The pilot leaped from the plane and shouted for everyone to get out, but no one else exited the plane.
I crossed the runway into the "bush" and ran back towards the twin-engine Otter. The assailants climbed onto the trailer and truck and departed.
When I got to the twin-engine Otter I found Congressman Ryan lying beside the right front landing gear. It appeared he had been wounded and shot in the head. I found Bob Brown shot in the head lying under the tail of the plane. I found Don Harris lying centership under the plane. I found Greg Robinson line behind the wheel which had been flattened by gunfire.
[Richard Dwyer] and I help the wounded to a location approximately 50 yards from the runway into the "bush" for safety.
In speaking with the pilot of the Otter I was informed he had radioed that Congressman Ryan and other people were dead and the severity of the assault.
After dark I assisted in taking the wounded to the Guyana army tent, adjacent to the wrecked airplane. The remainder of the victims went to a shelter in the nearby town.
Approximately 14 hours passed when approximately 130 Guyanese troops arrived by railroad. Protection was set up at the airport for incoming airplanes and preparations made for evacuation.
I returned to Georgetown in a Guyanese Government airplane. After approximately one hour in Georgetown I was transported to Puerto Rico on a chartered jet.
I read the above statement, consisting of this and additional pages. I have initialed each page and now sign it because it is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrives at Villa Madama in Rome, Italy on Tuesday, May 30, 2017.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Alberta Premier Rachel Notley declared Tuesday that Ottawa's approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will not be derailed by a pact between the NDP and Green Party in British Columbia, raising the spectre of high-stakes political and court battles.
Speaking in Rome, the Prime Minister said the $7.4-billion expansion – which would boost crude exports to Pacific markets – benefits the entire country, which is why the federal cabinet gave its approval.
"The decision we took on the Trans Mountain pipeline was based on facts, evidence on what is in the best interest of Canadians, and indeed all of Canada," Mr. Trudeau said during a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni.

Mr. Trudeau said the fate of the pipeline project should not be affected by the anticipated change in the B.C. government.
BC Liberal Premier Christy Clark indicated on Tuesday she expects to lose a confidence motion in the legislature in the coming weeks and to see the NDP form a minority government with the support of the Green Party. The NDP and Greens released details of their agreement, which commits them to "immediately employ every tool available to a new government to stop the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, the seven-fold increase of tanker traffic off our coast and the transportation of raw bitumen through our province."
It remains unclear what levers the provincial government can pull to block the interprovincial pipeline project that was approved both Ottawa and by the outgoing B.C. government. However, Kinder Morgan Inc. will require construction permits and other approvals from the province and municipalities.
Previous court rulings suggest the two lower levels of government cannot derail a federally approved pipeline project, but a new government could test that constitutional power and force Ottawa to defended its jurisdiction in the court.
Mr. Trudeau did not say what Ottawa would do if the NDP and Green Party in B.C. attempt to stop the pipeline expansion. However, Ms. Notley said that any such effort would fail.
"Mark my words, that pipeline will be built. The decision has been made," she told reporters.
The Alberta government and Calgary-based oil industry argue the Trans Mountain project – which would virtually triple the pipeline's capacity to 890,000 barrels a day – is critical to expand export markets and ensure Canada gets world prices for its crude exports. Opponents in B.C. worry about the environmental impacts of major spills from the pipeline and from the increased tanker traffic that would result from the expansion.
In a statement, the Alberta Premier said "provinces do not have the right to unilaterally stop projects such as Trans Mountain that have earned the federal government's approval.
"This is a foundational principle that binds our country together," she added.
While BC NDP Leader John Horgan was conciliatory toward his Alberta colleague, Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver slammed her declaration that a new B.C. government would have no say in the issue. He indicated the two parties are working with First Nations who have complained they were not properly consulted, as well with as other opponents.
"There's a lot that can be done in British Columbia to stop the shipment of diluted bitumen in our coastal waters," he said. "And rest assured, the BC Greens and the NDP will work together on this."
There are some avenues open to a new B.C. government, but they may entail delay and harassment more than an outright rejection.
"Directly, British Columbia can't do anything," Ted Morton, former cabinet minister and now professor at the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy, said in an interview. "Nothing is more clearly under federal jurisdiction than interprovincial and export pipelines.
"Having said that, indirectly, this new coalition could do a number of things to delay it and undermine it. … It could chew up a lot of time and in the pipeline business, time is money. So it could be a strategy of death by a thousand delays."
The province and municipalities could refuse to issue permits – for construction and road access, for example – in order to frustrate and drive up costs of the project. In that case, Kinder Morgan would have to go to court to force the governments to comply with the law and Ottawa would face intense pressure to back the pipeline company.
As well, there are 19 court challenges launched by First Nations, environmental groups and the cities of Vancouver and Burnaby that await a federal court hearing. Backed by the Green Party, an NDP government could seek to intervene in those cases and support the argument that the federal process was flawed.
One of those cases challenges the provincial process that was followed in issuing an environmental certificate to Kinder Morgan. The new government could simply refuse to defend that action and – if the court rules against Kinder Morgan – the province would have to revisit its review process.
Still, recent court cases suggest that, while a province has a duty to review projects that impact environment and aboriginal rights, it can only impose conditions rather than block a federal approval, said Robin Junger, a partner at McMillan LLP and a former B.C. deputy minister. As well, Mr. Junger said an NDP administration could not revoke the Trans Mountain certificate issued by the Liberal government.
In Ottawa on Tuesday, new Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer urged the Liberal government to defend the pipeline decision more forcefully, especially in B.C. Mr. Scheer noted some Liberal MPs from B.C. have opposed the pipeline and suggested the pipeline expansion is now in peril from the "forces of No."
"Will the Prime Minister finally stand up to the forces that are seeking to kill these jobs, or will he fold like a cardboard cutout?" Mr. Scheer demanded.
Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr said the government approved the pipeline because it is in the national interest to diversify the market for Canadian crude beyond the United States, which currently takes 99 per cent of those exports.
"Therefore, we concluded that it was in the interests of Alberta, British Columbia and all of Canada to approve this pipeline, because it employs thousands of people not only in British Columbia and Alberta, but all across the country," he said. "We stand by that approval."
