Charmaine de Silva - Kelowna BC's 105.7 SUN FM:
Transportation Minister says the global economic turmoil may have a silver lining. Falcon says a year ago, contractors and trades in this province were maxed out, and now they're looking for work: "As we go forward and accelerate some of these capital projects, we'll probably be finding more value as well. More bidders, so a lot more competitive bidding, and better pricing." With a number of major infrastructure projects in the Okanagan Valley, that means tax-payers could see more bang for their buck. Falcon went on to say, "That's not going to hurt the development industry. Of course, we want to maintain public confidence to ensure that the public recognizes there's going to be some growing value out there." Falcon was in Summerland on Friday as a guest of the Urban Development Institute.
