The situation in the Interior of British Columbia is dire right now and we need to do something about it. The existing systems that are in place, the taxes that we pay and the stumped rates that the companies have to pay are not reflective of true market values. It s time for the NDP to wake up and pay attention because this is not acceptable.

00:00:00.000 Frank and I over a cup of coffee last Friday and we thought, you know, we've got to do
00:00:19.360 something about this. So we made a few phone calls, we got on social media. This is way
00:00:26.000 over what we ever expected. We figured maybe 50 trucks, a few crew cabs, we're talking 300 plus.
00:00:42.400 We're in dire straits right now in many, many communities in the interior and we
00:00:47.040 can't hang on. I mean, we're not asking like Frank said, we're not here looking for money.
00:00:56.000 The existing systems that are in place, number one, the taxes that we pay or the
00:01:07.520 stumped rates that we, that the companies have to pay for every tree they cut are not
00:01:13.200 reflective of true market values right now. They are not even close to allowing these companies
00:01:19.840 to get out and put guys like him and Howard back to work.
00:01:30.640 These people are here because they're tired of being treated like second class citizens by John
00:01:35.440 Horgan and the NDP. Most of these people are now out of work possibly permanently because we have the
00:01:41.120 highest law class in North America and the NDP have completely ignored this problem and tried to
00:01:47.680 pretend it's not there and these folks are saying it is not going away. They are not going to lie down
00:01:53.360 and just take it. It's time for the NDP to wake up and pay attention because this is British Columbia
00:01:58.880 coming out to say this is not acceptable.
