BC Government - Mines Permit Fees

#67: -

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE, THE LOGGERS HAVE A TOUGH ENOUGH TIME, HOWEVER I BELIEVE WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL MAY HAVE BEEN GETTING AT IS THE FORESTRY INDUSTRY WITHIN GOVERNMENT IS VERY TOP HEAVY WITH RESOURCES THAT ARE NOT BEING USED (HENCE THE LOGGERS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME) SO INSTEAD OF PAYING PEOPLE TO SIT ON THEIR TOUCHE AND DO NOTHING, AND HAVE ALL OF THESE DEPARTMENTS DOING NOTHING, SINCE IT IS ALL UNDER NATURAL RESOURCES, THE MINING SECTOR IS UNDER FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT, SO THEY SHOULD TAKE THE SURPLUS FUNDING AND ELIMINATE THOSE JOBS IN THE GOVERNMENT THAT ARE SIMPLY PAYCHECKS AND PUT THAT MONEY TOWARDS ISSUING SOWS.  IT IS A BUREAUCRACY THE GOVERNMENT CREATED, AND RATHER THAN DIG INTO OUT POCKETS, IN ORDER TO KEEP THE BUDGET BALANCED THEY SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO WHERE THEY ARE WASTING DOLLARS - IN OTHER WORDS - PERHAPS IT'S TIME WE HAD A GOVERNMENT OF TRANSPARENCY.
