NDP members pass motion for B.C. government to investigate forestry company

Members of the B.C. NDP riding association in Kamloops-North Thompson are asking the provincial government to investigate Paper Excellence, a pulp and paper operator that has grown to become the largest forestry products company in North America.

Rick Turner, president of the Kamloops-North Thompson B.C. NDP Electoral District Association, said he’s already received informal support from a number of other B.C. NDP riding associations. That motion, which passed in Ottawa on March 31, calls on Wijaya and Innovation, Science and Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne to testify before the committee.

At the time, a spokesperson for the Forests Ministry said it was monitoring the proceedings in Ottawa and the results of the federal review.
