“It’s a certainty in many communities that the relationship between the tenure holder and community has been broken.”

Vancouver – Premier John Horgan’s speech about the need to reinvigorate social license in BC’s forest industry resonated yesterday with TLA members at the Truck Loggers Association 75th Annual Convention & Trade Show in Victoria.  “Licensees appear to have more sway than they’ve ever had before, and less responsibility than they’ve ever had before,” said Premier John Horgan. “I appreciate that the major licensees may take issue with that statement. But it’s a certainty in many communities that the relationship between the tenure holder and community has been broken.” The Premier also spoke about the Contractor Sustainability Review report which is expected in the next few weeks and his anticipation for it.
