  • Resource communities require permits, fibre supply, capital investment and competitive operating costs, not another round of press conferences after mills are lost.
  • OneBC proposes increasing allowable annual cut, lower stumpage charges, and shorter permit and consultation timelines.
  • The province should publish timely market-based fibre and stumpage data so industry decisions can be tested against a transparent supply forecast.
  • Changing annual allowable cut is constrained by forests’ long-term productivity, conservation requirements and specific land-use obligations; it is not a simple unlimited volume lever.

    • Given the current global context, as soon as BC's investment doors are open under a new BC Conservative government, we will engage with former and new proponents for investment in natural gas and LNG in BC."
