The motion, passed by members of the BC NDP Kamloops-North Thompson Electoral District Association, comes amid a federal investigation into Paper Excellence and will be voted on at the party's provincial council meeting next month.
BC NDP members from an electoral district association in Kamloops have passed a motion calling on the provincial government to investigate Paper Excellence, a pulp and paper operator that has recently grown to become the largest forestry products company in North America.
Federal investigation into Paper Excellence to summon CEO, minister The Kamloops motion was passed only days after the federal Standing Committee on Natural Resources voted to to investigate the ownership structure and business relations of Paper Excellence. “There’s a questioning period right now,” said Angus. “This is a very big company that people know very little about.” In a statement to Glacier Media following the approval of committee investigations, Paper Excellence said it is committed to creating jobs and “maintaining a positive working relationship” with governments across Canada while respecting environmental regulations.
That investigation revealed a nexus of links between Paper Excellence and Asia Pulp and Paper, a forestry and paper conglomerate environmental groups allege has been responsible for widespread deforestation, human rights abuses and conflicts with Indigenous communities. Both companies say they are independent of one another.
