  • Provide $50M to convert old-growth deferrals into permanent protections

BC Conservative
  • Increase the number of forestry permits, with a floor of 45 million cubic metres

    "Provide predictable access to fibre. Under the NDP, the harvest has consistently run well below the allowable annual cut. Permits will increase sustainable access to fibre with a floor of 45 million cubic metres. Where the Crown reallocates tenure, licensees and Bill 13 contractors will be compensated fairly and on time." — Ready to Deliver, retrieved 2026-10-18

We will review and eliminate unnecessary permitting costs so BC mills can get back to work." — Ready to Deliver, retrieved 2026-10-18
