Environmentalists claim victory on government’s working forest plan source: CanadaEast.com | Aug 06, 04 | submitted by Ryan

Victoria, British Columbia - Environmentalists claimed victory Thursday on the government's feared working forest initiative, saying the Liberals whittled down their plans to open much of British Columbia's forest land to future development.

The government responded to the cries of success by environmentalists by saying it's done the right thing after consulting widely. "If that's backing off, I guess I'm glad to plead guilty," said Sustainable Resources Minister George Abbott. "If that's what it takes to get peace in the valley, I'm happy to go with it."
