The New Democrats provoked little controversy with the commitments they made to Greens in exchange for that party’s support in the legislature.

Many items in the accord announced in December were already NDP priorities.

But one item in the NDP-Green accord provoked a backlash because of the potential impact on the forest industry and the softwood lumber trade with the U.S. Council of Forest Industries put out a cautionary statement.

Parmar announced his priorities before his own government and Greens released the text of their accord.

Parmar may not have been consulted about what sounds very much like another grandiose and unnecessary review.

The review is listed in the accord primarily as a matter of “environment” policy as opposed to economic growth, resource development, or job creation.
