Canada's largest union has also endorsed the fast-tracking announced by Premier David Eby yesterday
The B.C. Chamber of Commerce welcomes plans to speed up 10 existing resource projects, but calls for additional steps to unlock the province's full potential.
On Tuesday, the province released what it calls a preliminary list of 10 critical minerals, energy, and clean energy projects"that have a business case developed and need some type of permit or approval from government." Jairo Yunis, director of policy with the Business Council of British Columbia, echoed the chamber's call for more projects, but also praised the step.
The United Steelworkers union Wednesday also released a statement in favour of the projects. Scott Lunny, USW's director for Western Canada, said putting them on the fast-track proves the B.C. government's dedication to economic growth and stability.
