A leading environmental advocate praises some of the cabinet choices of David Eby, but also expresses frustration about… the appointment of Adrian Dix to the newly created Ministry of Energy and Climate Readiness. …Torrance Coste with the Wilderness Committee… is certain the themes of the ministry will compete against each other. …Coste says it is not clear that Premier Eby truly understands the gravity of the climate and biodiversity crises. Three rookie MLAs will head three other environment-related ministries: Tamara Davidson (Environment and Parks), Randene Neill (Water, Land and Resource Stewardship) and Christine Boyle (Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation). …”WLRS and even the Premier’s Office can say all the noble things they want about the importance of old-growth forests, but as long as the ministry’s overarching goal is facilitating logging and they have the final say within government… the NDP’s stated commitments around old-growth and biodiversity will not be delivered”.
