I am the Owner and President…

Commentaire

I am the Owner and President of a company that conducts harvesting operations in Northwestern Ontario. I have been in business for over 10 years and currently employ 6 people. We are also looking at recruiting new workers, as our business expands to meet the needs of the mills in our area. My corporation has also recently made a new investment of $175,000.00 to purchase a new skidder, to add to our other machines adding up to over $300,000.00 I give my full support to the ESA, Endangered Species Act Section 55 Regulation for forestry proposal dated January 26,2018, it should be extended to 5 years rather then 2 years. Right now the act, presents risk of unintended consequences if implemented

without proper regard to communities, First Nations, Forest Industry and the many, many workers who depend on this sector for their livelihood. For me, this Act could mean loss of my Job, loss of employees, closure of mill, loss of my contract, and economic consequences to my town etc.....
