...if the industry could get production levels back to historic levels, it could help keep forestry-dependent communities vibrant into the future.
The entire industry is in decline because of over harvesting in the past. This is just wishful thinking, lol.
If the BC gov't wanted to save small communities that rely on logging there's an excellent report written at the NDP's behest on just how to do that. However those reccomendations would mean less profit for the large corporations hell bent on clearcutting every last tree and packing up their mills and killing towns.
So naturally this report and it's reccomendations have been completely ignored.
Tarrifs have never been the problem.
They haven't yet.
