Premier Gordon Campbell says we need to synchronize the environmental permitting process between the federal and provincial governments, in order to increase efficiencies and decrease wait times for developers.

"We really only need one process," he says, "Because we are serving the same people."

The Premier says he is looking into delays in the process at the Kemess North Mine.

The company recently said it may have to lay off workers because it will not be able to get the necessary permits in time to develop the new mine.
