Yes, working very well for the Liberals who can sell the public interest to the highest bidder. Companies associated with billionaire Murray  Edwards contributed $1.2 million to Liberals and Edwards organized a Calgary fundraiser where over $1 million of mostly oil money was raised for Liberals.

What did they get in return?

Start with a free ride at Mount Polley. About the same time an older couple was being dragged into court over silt getting in a tiny West Vancouver stream, Imperial Metals went unpenalized for what some have called the province's worst environmental disaster.

Teck and various related parties donated almost $3 million to Liberals. By no coincidence, Teck's operations accounted for 60% of the $1.2 million unfunded liability for cleanup of BC mines. The number is likely much higher.

We need laws that preclude special interest from buying influence with government. The present system is working exactly the opposite of "well."
