BC NDP government policies making bad situation worse for forestry sector, say industry analysts

It was perhaps akin to announcing funding for a new fish processing plant in response to the total collapse of fish stocks.

Analysts speaking at the BC Truck Loggers Association Convention in Vancouver Wednesday echoed Elstone’s point that value-added manufacturing -- like the mass timber sector the NDP government has been aggressively promoting -- can't thrive anymore than sawmills can if there are no logs available. Canfor’s announcement last week that it will close its pulp mill in Prince George – resulting in a loss of 300 high-paying jobs – is just the latest in a series of sawmill and pulp and paper mills closures or curtailments in B.C.

Quinn went so far as to suggest the current government is indifferent to the plight of forestry dependent communities because that’s not where its voter base is. No other region in North America has seen the wave of curtailments and closures that B.C. has, Elstone notes.
