On the eve of UBCM, GET IT DONE B.C. returns for its second year—one day in Vancouver bringing together mayors, ministers, First Nations leaders, and the CEOs building the province’s energy, mining, and forestry future, around a single question: how do we build the province that works for everyone? …Forestry is a Solution: Fifteen forestry associations, including organized labour, wrote to Premier Eby last week saying: “BC’s forest sector is at a breaking point.” Moderator Cam McAlpine, Principal at Pendulum, opened on how it got there. Kim Haakstad, CEO of BC Council of Forest Industries, said blaming the U.S. trade dispute oversimplifies it. B.C. has gone from the most affordable jurisdiction in the country to do forestry to the highest-cost in North America. Peter Lister, CEO of the Truck Loggers Association, said the cost of obtaining a cutting permit has risen from $4 to $14 a cubic metre, the product of more than 50 changes to legislation and policy.
