    The Honourable John Horgan The Honourable George Heyman Premier of British Columbia Minister, Environment & Climate Change Government of British Columbia Government of British Columbia April 15, 2020 Government planning of economic stimulus and recovery measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic Dear Premier Horgan and Minister Heyman, We, members of the Climate Solutions Council, would like to recognize the hard work of the B.C. Government during the COVID-19 global crisis and thank you for your efforts to protect the health and safety of British Columbians. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on our province’s communities and economy, and we recognize the need to alleviate the short-term economic impacts from this crisis by supporting communities, businesses, and individuals who are, and will be, most affected. Once immediate relief is in place, the government will put forward an economic stimulus package designed for job creation and rebuilding the economy. We believe this is a critical opportunity to follow recent advice from the International Energy Agency, the UN and influential publications like The Economist, which have all advocated using stimulus to help rebuild a resilient, low-carbon economy. Economic growth and our strong climate policies go hand in hand and B.C.’s long history of climate action has built an enviable foundation for the province’s low-carbon industries and strong clean energy sector that will serve it well in recovering from the impacts of the pandemic. Therefore, we urge the Province to apply a climate and equity lens to all stimulus programs implemented to ensure that we promote the growth of a cleaner and more just economy, building on the objectives, values, and actions in CleanBC.

I was glad to read about the Vancouver Board of Education’s goal to make it safer and more enjoyable for children to get to school using active forms of transportation. As you know, this goal aligns with the provincial government’s new active transportation strategy—Move. Commute. Connect. The Province wants to make active transportation safer and more convenient for everyone, with the goal of doubling the percentage of active transportation trips by 2030. As part of our strategy, we will help fund the planning of safe and active routes to school. Ministry staff are currently working with colleagues across government and at TransLink on this initiative. We are also funding the Everyone Rides Grade 4 to 5 pilot project to provide bike skills courses in Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria and Kelowna this spring.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report June 17, 2019 Quotation of the day “We need John Horgan and his government to step up and take action — any action — to help our small, forest-dependent towns get through this challenging time.” Liberal MLA Dan Davies (Peace River North) says the NDP government has not done enough ​ ​ to support forestry-dependent communities, as mills around the province continue to close and curtail production. Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Committees this week The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is conducting public ​ consultations on Budget 2020 this week, starting with a session in Prince Rupert at the Highliner ​ Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre at 2 p.m. today. Committee members will also visit Kitimat, Prince George, Fort St. John and Quesnel before heading back to the Lower Mainland for a consultation in Abbotsford on Thursday. The consultation period ends on June 28. Mill closures and curtailments lead to political jousting As announcements of mill closures and curtailments pile up, the opposition B.C. Liberals are calling on the NDP government to slash stumpage rates and reduce the carbon tax for the province’s forestry sector. “To date, the John Horgan government has thrown up its hands and told forest-dependent ​ ​ communities there is nothing it can do to help them,” Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said in ​ ​ a statement, released in tandem with a letter addressed to the premier last week. “This is failed leadership on the part of John Horgan — plain and simple.

    BC Today – Daily Report November 21, 2019 Quotation of the day “I’m so glad that the minister is now in British Columbia where we can come and show him every day the community he represents and the people in this city and across the province are opposed to his pipeline.” Protestors including Peter McCartney, a climate campaigner with the Wilderness Committee, gave ​ ​ Vancouver Liberal MP Jonathan Wilkinson a taste of his new job as federal environment minister, ​ ​ showing up outside his constituency office while he was being sworn in Wednesday in Ottawa. ​ ​ Today in B.C.

  • 1 Honourable Katrine Conroy Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource
    Honourable Katrine Conroy Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Parliament Buildings Victoria, British Columbia V8V 1X4 February 22, 2021 RE: Proposed transfer of Replaceable Forest License A17007 in the Fort Nelson Timber Supply Area from Canadian Forest Products Ltd. (Canfor) to Peak Fort Nelson Properties Ltd. Dear Minister Conroy, CC: Nathan Cullen, Minister of State for Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Roly Russell, Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Development; George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Before we discuss the problems with the license transfer itself, we strongly urge you to extend the public comment period by a minimum of two months past the current deadline of February 26th, 2021. We are a group of concerned citizens in northern British Columbia, and this opportunity to voice our opinion has only become known to us in the last few days. A tenure transfer of this size is significant and will drastically change the way forests are managed in northeastern BC. The Minister’s office ought to seek meaningful public engagement on this issue, not hide the fact that this transfer is being considered. A decision to allow this transfer and pellet mill to go ahead would be in direct opposition to your Ministry's mandate to “lead the transition of our forestry sector from high-volume to high-value production”. Pellets are a very low-value use of forests; their production involves minimal processing of trees and produces very few jobs. The Peak Renewables pellet mill would require somewhere between 20,000 and 24,000 cubic metres of wood to sustain just one full-time job at its plant.

    March 1, 2021 Dr. Bonnie Henry Provincial Health Officer Ministry of Health PO Box 9648 STN PROV GOVT 1515 Blanshard St. Victoria, B.C. V8W 9P4 Dear Dr. Henry, By way of introduction, we represent a province-wide, cross-section of meeting and event professionals who are working to develop a safe and measured plan for the timely and responsible re-opening of our sector to preserve businesses and put people back to work. The plan is designed to support and ensure compatibility with the Province’s COVID-19 mitigation objectives and to be part of the early phase of a reopening plan for the overall tourism industry in BC. This proposed restart plan specific to business meetings and events is intended for two purposes: 1. To re-activate the meetings & events industry, which has virtually been shut down since March with hundreds of companies closed and thousands of people out of work 2. To allow venues and professional organizers to conduct safe, in-person meetings & events that will re-engage our workforce and stimulate creativity, innovation and community building. Based on research, evidence, best-practices, and specific health and safety protocols, we believe that slowly and carefully re-starting the BC meetings & events sector can be achieved in compliance with PHO directives that ensure the protection and well-being of attendees, employees and suppliers. Until recent restrictions were imposed in December, meetings and events for up to 50 attendees were permitted under public health orders. Over an eight month period leading up to December 2020, evidence suggests that business meetings and events can be held safely when health and safety protocols are successfully implemented in the planning and operations of these gatherings.

  • B.C. Today – Daily Report July 18, 2019 “Being In
    B.C. Today – Daily Report July 18, 2019 Quotation of the day “Being in opposition sucks.” Liberal Forests critic John Rustad prefers government to opposition. ​ ​ Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Two years of the NDP: Liberal MLAs on life in opposition Two years ago today, Premier John Horgan and the NDP cabinet were sworn in as B.C.’s ​ ​ government, more than two months after the 2017 election in which the B.C. Liberal Party won a plurality of votes and seats. Despite rampant speculation that the NDP alliance with the Green Party would fail within months, there is little indication the province will be heading back to the polls any time soon. To mark the second anniversary of the swearing in, BC Today interviewed three Liberal MLAs ​ ​ — two former cabinet ministers and one who is serving his first term in provincial office — to discuss the challenges of serving in opposition. “Talk about a whirlwind.” After nearly a decade as a city councillor, Liberal Agriculture critic Ian Paton was elected to ​ ​ represent Delta South in May 2017 and was thrilled to be heading to the legislature as a member of the governing party — or so he thought. “Winning the election was pretty cool,” Paton said. “We were setting up our offices in the east wing. Then, of course, everything sort of went sideways with the Greens teaming up with the NDP and … suddenly we were in opposition.” On June 29, the Liberal government fell in a confidence vote, forced by NDP and Green Party MLAs who together held 44 seats to the Liberals’ 42.

  • Provincial Species at Risk Legislation
    To: The Hon. George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy cc. The Hon. John Horgan, Premier; The Hon. Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development; and the Hon. Scott Fraser, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Dear Minister Heyman, Thank you for inviting input on provincial species at risk legislation. The undersigned environmental and animal welfare organizations have worked together closely to submit joint principles that would inform a meaningful law to safeguard the web of life as we know it in British Columbia, and give our species at risk a path to recovery. Science-based, expedited protection for species and ecosystems was never more urgent than it is today, in light of ongoing habitat destruction and the accelerating impacts of global warming. While much of the existing ecological damage can be attributed to the failure of previous governments to take steps to protect our threatened biodiversity, it is now your government’s responsibility to expedite new conservation steps before the loss of our biodiversity becomes unmanageable. BC’s new species at risk legislation must protect and recover at-risk species and rare plant communities first by protecting functional habitat and the ecological processes upon which the relevant species rely, and second by restoring habitat that has been degraded so that the necessary ecological processes can be recovered. Further details about what is needed in BC’s new law are set out in the attached document. Species at risk legislation alone will not, however, be enough to protect BC’s species and ecosystems in the long-term.
