Enthusiasm for new B.C. mining plan despite few details

By Penny Daflos – CTV News

First Nations leaders and the mining industry are optimistic about a new direction being charted by B.C.’s premier, even though he was light on details and wouldn’t commit to timelines.

On Monday, David Eby sketched out a vision for a revised process with “one project, one review” where his government would work with federal counterparts and First Nations to speed up the approval process for new mines – which can currently take 12 years.
