FROM FRONT

Log export idea
faces a rough ride

an export cap in the North
Kalum area and not to hold
the company to its minimum
cutting Jevels.

To avoid clawbacks of its
licences, it must cut a mini-
mum of SQ per cent of its
annual allowable cut cach
year, and be within 10 per.
cent over a five-year period.

“We're anticipating that
we're nol going to require
that level of harvest,’
woodlands manager Scott
Marleau said.

The provisions would be
for 1999 and could be ex-
tended through 2000 if dif
ficult market conditions per-
sist,

The idea requires the sup-
port of local IWA-organized
sawmill] workers and log-
gers.

Most of them voted on the
proposal over the weekend,

said union rep Surinder ;

Malhotra, But some didn't
get notice of the vote, so
voting has been extended
until this Friday.

“In a sense they want to
become log brokers,’’ Mal-

hotra said, adding it will be
up to the membership to de-
cide whether to go against
union policy of opposition
to log exports.

‘We want them to com-
mit some money into this
mill so this operation be-
comes more viable on a
long term basis.’’

Northwest manager Lou
Poulin said the plan would
keep about 240 loggers, 60
road builders and nearly 80
other workers employed
who would otherwise be
laid off.

“The loggers are not
going to go back logging,
they’re going to be sitting
there with all their equip-
ment and nothing happen-
ing, all that unemploy-
ment,’’? Poulin said. ‘‘This
allows us io be able to put
those people back. wark-
ing.”’

Giesbrecht said there may
be some value in the plan,
but first West Fraser must
do more for the area.

He noted that the compa-

ny's interior mills have pro-
duced most of the lumber
earmarked to fill U.S. export
quotas, while poor perform-
ing mills like this one are
shut out.

“I would: still like to see
that we get our U.S, export
quota assigned to this mill,”
he said. ‘‘No matter how
you slice it, exporting logs
is exporting jobs,’’

West Fraser chief forester
Bruce MacNicol said he and
other company officials met
with provincial government
reps last week and are plan-
ning more discussions this
week,

**Fhere’s obviously some

‘ concem on the part of

government on the log ex-
port issue,’’ MacNicol said.
“We're looking at different
ways this could be done and
meet our objectives.”

“Our position is we just
can’t afford to log this year
in offshore areas,’? he
added. ‘‘We look at the
money we lost last year and
we're not prepared to do
that again.’’
