Revenue Sharing

A percentage of forestry revenues accruing to the Province will be directly rebated back
to locai governments in regions where forestry industry activity is taking place. The
amount of this rebate will be based on volume of timber harvest in each T.S.A.

The sale or license of natural resources currently generates $7 billion annually fc- the
British Columbia government. Very little of this sum is netted back to the communities
where the majority of natural resource harvests occur. This inequity should be
eliminated by implementing an accounting system which would allow a direct annual
rebate to cemmunities in resource harvest areas based on the volume and vaiue of
resources harvested.
