The Ontario Forest Industries Association says it’s looking forward to working with the new government at Queen’s Park.
Executive Director Jamie Lim says the Conservative MPP’s they have met with in the past, and are now in Cabinet, have been very supportive of the forest sector.
Lim says they’ve developed a good working relationship with Vic Fedeli, John Yakabuski and Natural Resources Minister Jeff Yurek, and hopes that can continue in the months ahead.
She adds that Northern Development and Mines, Energy and Indigenous Affairs Minister Greg Rickford had a good track record in the federal government and is looking forward to working with him on growing the forest sector.
Lim stresses they can’t wait to get to work and grow the industry and add more jobs in northwestern Ontario.
She is confident the new PC government understands the opportunities that are available in the forest sector.
