First Nations should boycott B.C.’s current consultation process around modernizing the province’s forestry policy, an Indigenous forestry advisory organization recommends.  The short timeline and the nature of the consultation process offered by the province is disingenuous, said Chief Bill Williams, president of the BC First Nations Forestry Council (FNFC).  “We are in a state of emergency due to wildfires, and the province is carrying on with business as usual, trying to ram through major changes to forest policies based on provincial expediency and priorities,” said Williams, known as találsamkin siyám and a hereditary chief of the Squamish Nation, in a statement.  …First Nations, especially smaller ones, don’t have the technical capacity or staff to respond to such a complex and significant issue in the allotted time frame, Higgins said, adding the province should extend the process at least until year’s end.
