Statement

Speed up permits. We will immediately simplify harvest approvals while protecting the environment. We will establish a provincial major-project-style process for forestry permits, approvals and investment. Decisions will take months, not years, with a single-window consultation hub giving First Nations one door for referrals and proponents one clock.

Overview

Consolidate multi-agency forestry approvals into a unified portal with synchronized statutory referral clocks.
