Michael Goehring
Michael Goehring is the head of the Mining Association of British Columbia, advocating for the mining industry and its role in the economy. He emphasizes the need for streamlined regulatory processes to attract investments in mining, noting that while both federal and provincial governments have made encouraging proposals, actual progress requires more decisive action. Goehring points to British Columbia's single environmental assessment process as a successful model that could be adopted nationally to facilitate resource development.
