Liberal voice absent from forum at TRU
Kamloops Daily News
A three-pronged strategy for tackling a morass of problems confronting B.C. forest management drew enthusiastic applause at a political forum on Wednesday. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson, a former NDP forest critic now sitting as an independent, said the next B.C. government should immediately strike a committee on forestry, restore the function of the province’s chief forester and consider holding a royal commission of inquiry. “I think B.C. needs to have a truly independent chief forester who is a servant of the legislature,” said Simpson, who appeared via Skype from Victoria because the legislature is in session.
