"The rule against hearsay is deceptively simple and full of exceptions. Hearsay is an out of court statement, made in court, to prove the truth of the matter asserted. In other words, hearsay is evidence of a statement that was made other than by a witness while testifying at the hearing in question and that is offered to prove the truth of the matter stated.

Non-toxic

Comment: For over a decade, the Metro Vancouver region- and the province of BC as a whole- have needed the provincial govt to demonstrate bold, ambitious leadership by setting out a concise, multi-year policy and spending roadmap for the South of Fraser area...

... that is intended to bring this area up to (44 sq. miles) city of Vancouver public transportation, road, bridge and tunnel standards-

.... and in particular, to provide (246 sq. miles) Surrey and Langley with a legitimate** rapid transit rail network... One that will impress domestic and international onlookers- and potential investors- instead of making them yawn... 

** "Legitimate" rapid transit meaning rail lines that use: separated-from-roadway (IE: elevated); and computer-driven (automated) technologies (similar to the city of Vancouver's Expo, Millennium and Canada Lines),  and not the 19th-century technology "buses on rails" (that have been run along already busy roadways) LRT that Translink's Mayors Council are proposing...
