  1. Ya, I've thought it's pretty abysmal too. Certainly not clearly spelled out if conservation is intended, and still just consulting with Nations rather than getting consent (albeit with perhaps a little more effort that has to made?) There are a couple things tho, that you mentioned that I have heard change of. One is BC Timber Sales not selling tenure for any of the 2.6 million apparent deferrals, tho that is seperate from the forestry act I believe. The other is that Gary Merkel, in a webinar last week said that the wording is being changed in all the legislature to get rid of the phrase about environmental considerations only being without undue harm to timber. If that's true, that would be huge! He also said that the AAC will be going down by 30% for each of the next couple years, that one, again would not be written into the act.
