Skeena-Bulkey Valley MP Taylor Bachrach called on the federal government today to provide assistance to forestry workers affected by sawmill shutdowns across B.C.
“B.C.’s forestry workers need help now and the federal government is missing in action,” said Bachrach. “Its been a tough year for many families in my riding and across BC, where many northern communities rely on forestry work.”
Bachrach asked the natural resources minister to meet with community leaders and work to provide greater flexibility in the Employment insurance system so that workers can access financial assistance in the run up to Christmas.
