Asked if the mandate letters for his cabinet ministers will be publicly released in the near future, Eby said the priorities laid out in his speech at the Natural Resource Forum - mostly streamlining permitting - are the priorities for his ministers
Sidestep much? #bcpoli

Former NDP Premier Mike Harcourt says Eby government “setting aside years of local and regional plans” with “arbitrary, top-down changes in local zoning and development.” He and ex minister Marzari blast in today’s Vancouver Sun.
This weeks view from the office. Victoria peak Vancouver Island. Great views working in the forest industry.

Great to be part of the Forestry rally in @CityofMerritt today asking Premier @Dave_Eby government to address the issue of delayed permitting. Forest workers want to work.

Indicator 4: Funds Leveraged. Nearly half of the reporting #communityforests leverage their profits as seed money to grow larger projects in their communities with support from outside sources. The total of those that leveraged was over $2.7 million 👏

After 64 years of accident free driving Laverne finished his last day. MTO takes his licence away Monday because he turns 80.

John Horgan’s cabinet included a “cabinet working group on forestry.” David Eby’s list of cabinet committees, distributed Wednesday, did not include a working group in forestry. Have they given up, or just not gotten around to appointing one yet?

One more look at @AaronGunn’s #bcforestry documentary at ow.ly/mfgX50LUySc:

#DYK Canada’s forest sector harvests less than 1% of harvestable land per year and regenerates every single tree, between 400 and 600 million seedlings annually. 🌲🇨🇦
