Kootenay Lake

Now, there are examples in British Columbia in pretty much every industry on how to get around the problem of getting value for dollar, on adding value to what they're doing.

The Harrop Proctor Mill on Kootenai Lake is a great example of a mill in British Columbia.

They get 2.5 times the income of the average mill in BC because they're adding value, because it's a community-based forestry system.

If we can bring resource extraction to the local level and rely on broad provincial regulation, but with local knowledge, rather than relying on industry-paid qualified professionals, I use that in air quotes, Industry employees determining what's right for industry.
