Time to Jump-Start the B.C. Forest Service—Not Bury It
Time to jump-start the B.C. Forest Service—not bury it By Jim Stirling The British Columbia Forest Service is on a death watch. The organization charged with managing the publicly-owned forests in B.C. is months shy of its 100th birthday but the prognosis is poor for it reaching that milestone in any recognizable form. What happens next depends on Steve Thomson, B.C.’s minister responsible for forests and the rest of leader—and newly- minted premier—Christy Clark’s new Liberal government caucus. For years, successive provincial governments have turned to the forest service for easy budget cuts. At one point, it was likely some judicious personnel trimming within the organization was justified. But that was in the past and the habit has now become an obsession. In less than 10 years, the government has cut more than 25 per cent of the forest service’s work force and closed half of its district offices, the real presence and public representation at the landscape level. The telling blow to this death by a thousand cuts approach was delivered by Gordon Campbell, just days before he an- nounced his abdication as B.C.’s premier and leader of the provincial Liberal party last October. Campbell’s plan involves re-organization and alignment of five major ministries; forests; energy; environment; agriculture and aboriginal relations. Under this ill-conceived plan, the Ministry of Forests and Range is the Ministry of Forests, Mines and Lands and a new Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations was created, which Thomson now heads.

B.C. Today – Daily Report March 5, 2019 Quotation of the day “The only thing this premier has done when it comes to talking about softwood in this House is dodge, deflect and demean a discussion that is essential in British Columbia.” During Monday’s question period, Liberal MLA Shirley Bond says Premier John Horgan is “missing in action” in the fight against American tariffs on softwood lumber. Today in B.C. On the schedule The House will convene at 10 a.m. for question period. Monday’s debates and proceedings Finance Minister Carole James introduced Bill 12, Supply Act. The procedural bill secures funding for the public service operations through the first three months of the upcoming fiscal year, beginning on April 1, 2019. Following question period, Government House Leader Mike Farnworth directed the House to begin its review of the supplementary estimates for the Ministry of Health; Committee A studied the supplementary estimates for the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. By the end of the day, reviews of the supplementary estimates on the following files were complete: health, municipal affairs and housing and forestry and natural resources. In the House Liberal MLA Tracy Redies welcomed Liberal MP Gordie Hogg (South Surrey—White Rock) — “the incorrigible, one of a kind, snappy dresser” — to the chamber along with Liberal MP Randeep Sarai (Surrey Centre). Hogg served as a MLA in B.C. for 20 years and held various cabinet posts in former Liberal premier Gordon Campbell’s government. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan was also welcomed in the House.
