Provincial and federal leaders gathered in Vancouver to discuss
the ongoing economic crisis facing B.C.'s forestry sector. B.C.
Premier David Eby, alongside Dominic LeBlanc, federal minister
responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, announced a task force made up
of deputy ministers and representatives to figure out supports
for the industry.

Derek Nighbor, president of the Forest Products Association of
Canada, joins the show to react to the announcement as we ask
viewers if they are satisfied with efforts provided for the
forestry sector.

James Furney, the mayor of Port McNeill, takes audience calls as
he discusses how his community is impacted by the U.S.'s duties
on softwood lumber.
