NDP pointing the finger at the BC Liberals over lack of skilled miners

The NDP says the BC Liberals have only themselves to blame for the lack of skilled miners in the province.

Mining critic Doug Donaldson reacting to news hundreds of temporary workers from china will be brought in to work in a new coal mine in North East BC:

"It's not the companies at fault and it's not the Chinese workers at fault but you know this is a legitimate role for a Provincial Government to train up the workforce so local people in the regions can get the jobs that are coming open.  It's a colossal failure in my opinion."

Donaldson says the NDP would invest 100 million dollars in grants for post-secondary and skills training.
