PRINCE GEORGE — Premier John Horgan made the keynote luncheon speech at the Natural Resources Forum today.

He took the opportunity to highlight some of the challenges his government has encountered in its first 18 months in office – including two devastating wildfire seasons and a subsequent reduction in fibre supply.

On the positive side, he noted his government has still kept the province’s financial house in order – including owning the countries lowest unemployment rate and maintaining BC’s Triple-A credit rating.
