Forest Tenure Bill Passes in Ontario Legislature

The Provincial Government has passed the Forest Tenure Bill.
Third reading of Bill 151 and an hour of debate took place Tuesday.
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton calls the entire process a travesty.
The NDP member says area Municipalities and First Nations weren’t properly consulted.
Hampton says forestry companies and area communities called for changes and notes the Government failed to act on any of the amendments.
Hampton voted against the Legislation.
The new system will set up two new forest management models for harvesting wood.
