Couvelier told the Driftwood he could not support Premier Bill Vandci Zalm when the Legislature reconvenes du« to ongoing investiga­ tions of his conduct in the sale of Fantasy Gardens. Couvelier said he had asked the premier at a cabinet meeting last week not to appear in the house until the results of the investigation were known. "I felt I could not sit on the front bench defending something I know nothing about," Couvelier said. He submitted his resignation to Vander Zalm following the cabinet meeting.

Youth centre development provides Give up the helm of party

It seems the captain is determined to stay at the helm of his sinking ship. Saanich and the Islands MLA Mel Couvelier is the latest in what could be a domino-type retreat to the back­ benches of Social Credit politics. We applaud Couvelier's decision to openly state his objections to Premier Vander Zalm's refusal to step aside as leader of the province while his actions are investigated for conflict of interest infractions. Couvelier's resignation must have dealt a hard blow to Vander Zalm. The local MLA is one of the few Social Credit ministers who has not had his in­ tegrity questioned in one of a constant barrage of political scandals. It's time Vander Zalm got the mes­ sage and took a back seat himself. Who ordered all this health food, anyway?
