i support the extemsi
However a 2 year extension period is too short. A period of 5 years is more reasonable for a panel to do its work effectivel and work through the very complex issues associated with the forestry operating under the crown forest subtainability act and protecting species under the ESA.
The extension must be implemented as soon as possible after the 45 day review period in order to ensure it is in place well in advance of the july expiry of the current Section 55 Regulation.
The result of an adequate solution to the ESA will be catastrophic wood supply reductions, mill closures, contractors out of business, stranded first nation investments in the forestry economy,and severe socio-economic and comunity impacts due to the loss of substainable employment.
the forestry industry is a livelyhood for many in Northern Ontario and I. Without it we would not have the means to support our young and growing family. If the proposed policies and prescriptions are implemented in their current form; we would be force to uproot our children and move away from our family and home community of Thunder Bay.
