Comment
- I support the extension of section 55 ESA regulation, to maintain sound
sustainable forest management practices in a way that seeks to balance
environment, social and economic objectives
- I support the establishment of a multi-stakeholder panel to provide critical
oversight and input on a workable solution for the Endangered Species Act
- The extension should be five years instead of two, so that the panel can do
its work effectively and work through the very complex issues associated with
sustainable forest management and the goals of protecting species-at-risk in
balance with other important socio-economic priorities.
-The extension should be implemented as soon as possible after the 45 day
review
- an inadequate solution to the Endangered Species Act will result in
catastrophic wood supply reductions, mill closures, contractor business
closures, stranded First Nations investments in the forest economy, and severe
socio-economic and community impacts due to the loss of sustainable employment.
