Dear John,

British Columbia has long struggled to attract investment, and to keep and grow successful entrepreneurs and businesses – a critical lifeblood for any economy.

But a planned move by the British Columbia government would make things even worse.

Within the next four months or so, the government hopes to introduce an entirely new regime where the government and First Nations jointly make decisions about land-use on public lands.

This change will have massive consequences for B.C.

The uncertainty and sheer magnitude of this proposal deserve closer scrutiny by British Columbians who should have a greater voice in these proposed changes.

My colleague Jason Clemens and I have penned an op-ed detailing the damage these proposed changes would do. I encourage you to read it here and to please share it with as many of our fellow British Columbians as you can.

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
