Kevin Falcon outlines his party's plan for changes to forest sector he says will cut red tape and encourage investment in B.C.
BC United leader Kevin Falcon promised that if his party is elected this fall he will make changes to B.C.’s faltering forestry sector that he says will create jobs, reduce bureaucracy and restore the province’s reputation as a global leader in producing high-quality wood products.
“BC United will reverse this trend by delivering good-quality jobs, slashing red tape, and supporting innovation to make B.C. a leader in sustainable forestry once again. Our forests are a crucial part of our people’s livelihoods, our economy and environment, and we’re committed to a future where they can thrive.”
“We will reduce red tape and cut bureaucracy, adopt outcome-based performance measures, and eliminate regulatory duplication,” said Falcon. “We will also ensure faster permitting, reform BC Timber Sales, adjust stumpage rates to a monthly system, and stabilize policies to give businesses the certainty they need to thrive.”
“BC United’s plan will restore confidence in our forestry sector by cutting red tape, restoring industry/community confidence, and ensuring our forests are managed sustainably for future generations.”
