I understand that the government wants to increase viability with strong sectors of Ontario's economy. But, I think that they are going about it in haste, and the wrong way. Market value increases when wood is proven to be sustainable and under a Forest Ethics umbrella... exempting forestry operations from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Environmental Assessment Act will not do this! The Ontario government seems to be on a path that would steamroll the sustainability of public forests and trample Ontario’s reputation in the marketplace without a clear plan that also includes communities, protecting at risk species and ensuring a safe climate.
