GOV'T MAY BE ABLE TO VIEW PRIVATE HYDRO BILLS

The provincial government has introduced a new bill that would allow 
municipal governments in B.C. to access an individual's hydro 
electricity records if suspected of operating a marijuana grow-op.

B.C. Hydro spokes-person Tarina Palmer said that B.C. Hydro has 
supported the bill for quite a while and agrees that this is a matter 
of public safety.

The bill comes after a house containing a grow operation in the 
British properties in West Vancouver exploded seriously injuring one on Monday.
