As the Opposition Critic for Forestry, and the MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke, an area that relies heavily on the forest industry for its economic well-being, I wholeheartedly support the statements of Don Kayne, president and CEO of Canfor. Mr. Kayne is clear when he says that government is going in the wrong direction in its changes to tenure administration and that government should be focused on forest health, forest inventory and improved planning and decision making. But the point he makes most strongly is that the forest industry cannot prosper in B.C. without social licence, the sense that the industry has ongoing approval from community members and stakeholders, something the proposed tenure changes put at risk.
