The Northern Rockies Alaska Highway Tourism Association cites $219 million in combined federal and provincial tax revenue tied to park withdrawals, with over half of benefits outside the Lower Mainland and Victoria. Helm questions if true savings exist, citing $40,000 to remove three Tumbler Ridge facilities and a $380,000 yearly gain from 45 closures, while urging reversal not revision.
