On January 20, 2016, Jock Finlayson participated in the Invested in Resources - Finances panel moderated by the Honourable Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training at the BC Natural Resource Forum in Prince George. Jock's presentation provides an overview of the current global economic climate and describes how British Columbia is well positioned to benefit from growth in global demand for many natural resource-based products over the next 25 years. Key to this will be government policy that focuses on creating a competitive operating environment to attract investment in resource extraction and upgrading --as well as in related infrastructure development.
