Laura Jones, director of environmental studies for the Fraser Institute, who does a periodic survey of the attitudes of North American mining companies, found that B.C. ranked "dead last" in North America in her most recent survey in December. The biggest disincentive mineral exploration in B.C. is uncertainty over native land claims and the province's aggressive creation of parks and protected areas.
She said that Mr. Miller, the Mines Minister, chastising her for spreading a negative image of B.C. "We're not telling the people in the industry anything they don't know," she said.
