**VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s government has been ordered by a judge to hand over confidential cabinet documents to the provincial teachers’ union in advance of a September trial disputing the constitutionality of some back-to-work legislation. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin said in a ruling posted online Wednesday that the legal process is designed to be fair, and fairness in this case requires the government to hand over the documents to the BC Teachers Federation. The statement from the Ministry of Education said that because the matter is before the courts, it would be inappropriate for the Minister of Education to comment on the legal action. Griffin ruled the government did not have to produce all or portions of about one dozen documents because they were not relevant.**

Unlike other private businesses, train companies are exempt from municipal regulations. The government promotes trans-Canada transport of petrochemical products, they will have to enforce new regulations to ensure safety and steer this transport away from urban areas.

**U.S. unemployment benefit applications rose 16,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 360,000. The weekly applications data can be volatile in early July because some automakers briefly shut down their factories to prepare for new models and many schools close.

About 4.5 million people received unemployment benefits in the week ending June 22, the latest data available.**
