As an employee of Resolute…

As an employee of Resolute Forest Products, thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Proposed Changes to the Crown Forest Sustainability Act (CFSA), Environmental Registry of Ontario number 019-1020. At Resolute, our approach to sustainability is driven by the three pillars of sustainable development: environmental, social and economic. Ensuring the sustainability of the forests in our care and collaborating on forest management planning and innovation drive our approach to forestry.

I am writing to you today to express overwhelming support for proposal ERO# 019-1020. Given that the current regulation under the ESA expires this year, I ask that this proposal be approved and finalized as soon as possible. There can be no further delay on this item.

Myself and my husband have worked in the forest industry for twenty two years and have no plans to change careers in our later stage on our lives. The industry has provided us with employment income for our family for a number of years.

I would be happy to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss the best path forward for ensuring positive outcomes with respect to species at risk, and for keeping people in this province working.

Sincerely,
