Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson said the federal government is “thinking very actively” about using its 2 Billion Trees (2BT) program to restore forests damaged by wildfires in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.
“Absolutely we are thinking about how we can use that program in a manner that will help us to restore some of the forests and habitat that was affected this year,” Mr. Wilkinson said during a press conference on Aug. 22 at the Liberal cabinet retreat in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
