What BC Is Going To Do With Its Share Of The 1,000,000,000

The Working Roundtable on Forestry will be chaired by Forests and Range Minister Rich Coleman and include the Minister of Agriculture and Lands, Pat Bell, rural MLAs, forest industry representatives, including the TLA, First Nations, academics, organized labour, and environmental organizations. The roundtable will undertake an exhaustive review of all facets of the forest industry and report quarterly to cabinet on ways to expedite workable improvements in that industry. It will meet in communities across British Columbia. The make-up of the roundtable will be announced within the next few weeks, along with its specific terms of reference. “Forestry in British Columbia is a critically important industry, creating jobs and driving the economies in communities across the province,” said Campbell. “This working roundtable will be charged with recommending a comprehensive, fiscally viable strategy aimed at making our forest industry the most competitive, successful and productive it can possibly be.” http://www2.news.gov.bc.ca/news_releases_2005-2009/2008OTP0009-000059.htm
