Mr. Speaker, again in the brief time I've had this department, I understand the legislation allows for the issuing of timber licenses and allows for appeal if a license is not issued. Once a license is issued, there is no recourse for the government or any other party to respond in any way to terminate the validity of a license. This is why I've asked the department to come to me in the next week or so with some suggestions so we can sit down with the MLA from the Deh Cho, and certainly other Members and parties, to look at ways in which we could try to resolve this situation and prevent others from happening in the future.
