Mr. Chairman, the federal government still retains responsibility for environmental issues on Crown land. In a general sense, they are still responsible for air and water and those kinds of issues on Crown land. Basically our responsibility is primarily on Commissioner's land. They look after the broad environmental issues which may affect the trees. The second area would be that they are responsible for land use permits on the same land. If someone is building a road to a logging area, then this would be a federal responsibility. Our responsibility would be to issue the logging permit or to determine where a wood lot would be in this case.
