B.C. Conservatives lay out forestry plans following mill closures

New Democrat government has ‘failed’ forestry sector, says BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon

The BC Liberal Party has announced new details of its forestry plan, should it win this fall’s election. The plan includes a number of measures to support the industry, which has been hit hard by mill closures in recent years.

In a speech to the BC Natural Resources Forum, BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon said the province’s NDP government has “failed” the forestry sector. He said the government has not done enough to support the industry and has not taken into account the concerns of forestry workers.

Plan includes measures to support industry, forestry workers

The BC Liberal forestry plan includes a number of measures to support the industry, including:

• Providing $200 million in funding for reforestation and wildfire prevention.
• Investing $100 million in new technology and innovation.
• Reducing the cost of doing business for forestry companies by eliminating the carbon tax and the speculation tax.
• Supporting the development of new markets for B.C. lumber.
• Providing training and support for forestry workers who have been affected by mill closures.

Falcon said the BC Liberal forestry plan is “bold and ambitious,” but he said it is necessary to support the industry. He said the forestry sector is a major part of the B.C. economy and it is important to protect the jobs of forestry workers.

Forestry sector has been ‘ignored’ by NDP government, says Falcon

Falcon said the forestry sector has been “ignored” by the NDP government. He said the government has not done enough to support the industry and has not taken into account the concerns of forestry workers.

The NDP government has said it is committed to supporting the forestry sector. The government has provided funding for reforestation and wildfire prevention, and it has also invested in new technology and innovation.

However, the NDP government has also increased taxes on the forestry industry. The government has imposed a carbon tax and a speculation tax, which have increased the cost of doing business for forestry companies.

The BC Liberal forestry plan is a comprehensive plan to support the forestry industry. The plan includes a number of measures to reduce the cost of doing business for forestry companies, invest in new technology and innovation, and support forestry workers.
