Premier David Eby says he is not satisfied with people closing sawmills in BC and leaving workers stranded. Eby said he and the BC NDP are going to find a path forward to support the forestry sector… The premier acknowledged the “huge strain” the forestry industry was under but said the BC NDP had a strategy in place to lessen the impact. “We’re doing a couple of things. One is getting more jobs per tree,” he explained. “The other is making sure that we’re protecting iconic old growth forests for future generations. And the third is ensuring a sustainable forest industry going forward for British Columbians that connects our trees with the people who are creating jobs in the province and investing in the province is the path forward for us.”
