Gov't should reach out

I can't understand the fuss being made over a plan to reach out to the province's ethnic populations. There is nothing new in any of this: Political parties engage in all sorts of outreach activities all the time.

The NDP, for instance, established sexual orientation quotas in their constitution for NDP candidates.

So, if you ask me, it's about time the government and political parties made a greater effort to reach out to B.C.'s ethnic populations.
