Today in QP I asked about #FairyCreek. There is an injunction request by Teal Jones to remove the blockades from #FairyCreek and start roadbuilding in this valley. It sets the stage for #OldGrowth logging in the last intact old growth valley on Southern Van Island. 1/ #bcpoli
My question was directed at Premier @jjhorgan, he didn’t stand to answer - instead Minister @KatrineConroy made banal, generic statements she’s been making for weeks, and in her answer she did not refer to #FairyCreek even once. 2/ #bcpoli #OldGrowth
The #FairyCreek watershed is the very definition of an ancient, high-risk ecosystem that the #OldGrowth Strategic Review Panel recommended be protected while a strategy is developed. No valleys like it remain on Southern Vancouver Island, they've all been logged. 3/ #bcpoli
The @bcndp has a real opportunity to change the way things are done by providing real economic alternatives that include conservation financing & a buy-back of the cut blocks. Instead they choose the status-quo. 4/ #bcpoli #OldGrowth
To learn more about #FairyCreek, follow @SaveFairyCreek, and to see more of the work we do in the House to push the @bcndp to keep their promises follow the @bcgreencaucus. 5/5 #bcpoli
