Dear Editor,

Let’s see what can you do in 11 months, for one you can do three round trips to Venus and still have time to do five round trips to the moon.

It takes nine months for a woman to bring a baby to term, in 11 months that baby can triple its weight and learn at least a couple words in that time, but I might not be able to hear those words because I need a hearing aid and according to the BC Workers Compensation Board, it takes them 11 months to just decide whether I qualify for a hearing aid, so they cannot get me into hearing aids for probably a whole year.

Am I the only one that thinks that this is either the height of gross incompetence, or have the B.C. Liberals taken so much resources from the Compo Board that they are unable to fulfill their primary function to the workers of this province. Just one more indication of the B.C. Liberals chronic failure to work for the citizens and workers of B.C.
