Jock Finlayson, executive vice-president and chief policy officer of the Business Council of British Columbia, acknowledged Dr. Henry has to approve resumption of the economy, but said it’s crucial to do so.

We don’t want too many more months like March, where 132,000 people [in B.C.] lost their jobs,” he said. “That’s three-and-a-half years of job growth wiped out in one month.”
