I do see this as beneficial in reducing red tape. It also provides many more opportunities for gathering of personal use logs and firewood. I do however have concern on the enforcement of the regulation changes. NDMNRF have limited resources to monitor this on a general basis.

Cutting only downed wood for home heating purposes is simply not feasible, so as long as a permit is still available for cutting standing dead wood I do not see a problem.
I fully agree with the concept of being able to cut downed trees (with a 10 Cubic metre annual limit) for personal use without requiring a permit. The previous system of permits was onerous, allowing cuts in only specific and often distant locations.

- Where would these areas be located?

I fully support the NDMNRF proposed regulatory changes under the Crown Forest Sustainability Act for the harvest of Crown Forest resources for personal use as this will exempt persons who harvest said resources from acquiring authorization from NDMNRF and standardized the changes across the province

My only comment with respect to this proposed legislation is that it does not set a minimum size of a block which can be exploited without permit.
