For reference there has been a significant amount of protests in recent months about old growth logging in BC so this is a controversial issue.

The current government has "deferred" a bunch of old growth logging licenses as part of damage control efforts in response to the criticism.

A complicating factor is the fact that indigenous nations of BC are gaining more and more strength and control over their traditional territories and are not necessarily opposed to logging. Recently a nation on Vancouver island asked protestors to go home.
