Michael McPhie is a mining professional who serves as vice president, sustainability and external affairs and who, until recently was chair if the board of directors of Ridley Terminals. Alongside this, he is involved with the British Columbia Business Council (BCBC), an organization that aims to promote business growth in the region.
In a statement from Confidence In Canada, the BCBC highlights that indigenous, community, and business leaders have faced weeks of disruption and uncertainty. The organization claims that this has been driven by road blockades and other issues, each of which has negatively affected supply chains.
In addition, BCBC claims that there are broader issues affecting companies, such as uncertainty about major upcoming projects, many of which may have to be postponed or canceled. As such, the BCBC has called on business leaders across the country, indigenous and otherwise, to help build a more modern and sustainable country that can be more competitive in the years to come.
