3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
prince
george
mckenzie.
Thank
you
speaker.
The
aerial
broadcast
spring
of
british
columbia's
provincial
forest
with
any
product
designed
to
eliminate
or
minimize
broadleaf
plant
growth,
which
is
a
vital
food
source
and
critical
habitat
for
all
species
of
wildlife,
has
long
sustaining
consequences.
A
Current
civil
culture
practices
in
bc
require
forced
licensees
to
kill
or
impair
deciduous
growth,
to
enhance
the
growth
of
conifers
aspen
as
a
deciduous
species
is
one
of
the
main
targets
of
glyphosate
aerial
spraying.
This
practice
eliminates
a
vital
food
source.
The
seeds,
berries
leaf
matter,
tree
bark,
etc,
necessary
for
the
survival
of
insects,
mammals
from
rodents
to
ungulates,
songbirds
to
raptors
salmon
and
steelhead
trout.
A
A
A
recent
moose
study
in
the
central
interior
of
british
columbia
has
identified
starvation
as
a
single
as
a
significant
cause
of
that
species.
Mortality.
Some
furbearer
species
are
believed
extirpated
in
several
regions
of
the
province
due
to
the
loss
of
habitat
and
many
bird
species
have
not
been
seen
in
some
areas.
For
years,
the
value
of
deciduous
growth
is
proven
as
an
effective.
Mitigating
factor
in
slowing
the
progression
of
wildfires
studies
show
that
aspen
and
cottonwood
can
be
300
to
900
percent.
A
More
fire
resistant
than
conifer
species
of
conifer
species
pine
is
the
most
flammable
yet
is
planted
as
a
monocrop,
at
a
rate
that
saturates,
the
landscape
across
the
interior
of
our
province,
aspen
and
birch
sequester
up
to
five
times
the
amount
of
carbon
than
spruce
trees
and
recent
science
has
proven
that
deciduous
trees
and
plants
provide
enormous
benefit
to
conifer
trees
by
sharing
nutrients
and
water.
Our
force
are
incomplete
without
biodiversity
balance.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
