Opposition forests critic Mike Bernier taking a wait and see attitude to the provincial government's recently-announced doubling of funding to Forest Enhancement Society of B.C.
Premier David Eby announced the allotment in January while attending the Truck Loggers Association Convention in Vancouver.However, Bernier said the better strategy is to give forest companies the certainty they need to make investment decisions. The announcement came shortly after Canfor announced it will be shutting down a line at its Prince George Pulp and Paper Mill.
Bernier, the B.C. Liberal MLA for Peace River South, said he will also be keeping an eye on details surrounding a $90-million fund to encourage job development in the value-added forestry sector when a program guide and proposal form are released on February 28.
