This year kicked off with two consecutive quarters
of negative growth. Does this elicit optimism,
pessimism or just a polite yawn? Between
September 4 and 11, 130 readers responded to our
online poll that asked the question: Economically
speaking, how do you expect 2016 to fare?

A Word of
Clarication
Deloitte Vancouver partner David Lam
wrote to clarify the •rm's role in the sale of
Vega to WhiteWave, mentioned in Dee Hon's
story about buying an existing business
("Buying In," September 2015). "Deloitte
was not involved in a merger and acquisition
advisory capacity in the transaction," wrote
Lam, adding that Vega is a great example
of a business built in B.C. that attracted the
attention of many international buyers. The
province, he continued, is "a true hotbed for
private companies and is leading the way in
terms of how some of these companies are
growing."
CORRECTIONS: There were three errors in a story on Teck Resources ("Teck's Coal
Problem," September 2015). The size of Teck's Elkview operation was described incorrectly as
having 1,200 workers; it in fact has 800 bargaining unit employees. Also, Elkview is not
Teck's largest operation, which is actually Fording River Operations. Furthermore, just three
(not all) of Teck's five labour agreements expire this year. We apologize for the errors.
