Are NDP climate change deniers? Looks like it Van, you have pointed out many of the actions lacking in Bill 23 , the government and logging industry continue to not be precautionary with BC's crown land management.
They have had 4 years to step up to the plate and reform forestry for all British Columbians and the landscape, instead they have wasted our time and dollars, the heavily INDUSTRY-biased FRPA Advisory Committee must be proud of themselves for this shameful tweaking of the status quo. Thank you Minister’s Practices Advisory Council (PAC), seems your greatest contribution is increasing the policing and privatizing of logging roads so you don't end up with more out of Control Fairy Creek blockades.
