Managers of a common Property resource owe it to the owners of that resource to
regularly report on the Progress or failure of their stewardship. if an annual ‘report
card’ was issued regarding the detailed results of Ministry of Forests manayement in
each T.5.A. and Tree Farm License, much current public distrust would be removed.

Corporate Concentration
No corporate owner will be allowed to directly or indirectly own more than 10% of
forest harvest tenures or, timber conversion capacity in British Columbia.

There has been a sustained public belief that concentration of forest harvest fenures in
(he hands of four or five large corporations is not in the best interest of either the
limber resource, or the residents of British Columbia. To counteract the trend towards
greater corporate concentration, a Pelicy should be implemented which would

devolve ownership of the B.C. forest industry into smaller segments.

Conversion Plant Construction/Operation
Conversion plant construction licenses will be issued only upon provision of evc-nce of
long-term fibre supply. No more than 25% of sawmill processing Capacity may he
attributed to non-secure public or Private tenures.

Sawmills are currently being construcied across B.C. which have the capacity to
manufacture far more lumber than most companies have guaranteed supply for. This
trend creates an insatiable demand for timber fiore, a demand not tied into the ability of
forests to sustainably support harvest. By restricting sawmill size to the sustainable
supply of local timber, capitalization of overly large timber manufacturing plants woulda
cease.

Severe restrictions will be phased in over five years which limit chemical and smoke
discharge allowed from timber and Pulp conversion plants. Restrictions will also be put
in place which will demand recycling, reuse, of conversion of waste byproducts of
sawmill and pulpmilil processes. The forest industry will pay for all casts of permanent
government monitoring of all pollution sources,
