I think you got your dates and governments mixed, Bud Tugley.
Riverview had 800 beds in 2002, shortly after Gordie Campbell won the election and took over from the NDP. It was the LIEberals the ones who closed the East Lawn building in 2005 and the North Lawn building in 2007. It was the LIEberals the ones who finally closed Riverview altogether in 2012 without implementing elsewhere nearly as many beds as they closed.
Sorry if you don't like the facts.
