Simple...move to a forestry model like Alberta. Industry makes a healthy sustainable profit and the government gets a steady flow of tax revenue. The huge ebbs and flows in bc are brutal on everyone, those huge profits last year the bc forestry companies made are now being covered up major losses right now.
The mill workers are the ones that suffer, they don't benefit during the highs and have to take layoffs on the lows. All the old trades guys are aging out and young trades guys are looking for more reliable work than pays more.
