I told the Minister of Renewable Resources some time ago that there was firewood being sold at a local service station which came from British Columbia. This is wood which comes from trees which have died because of bugs. I was given one of these logs last summer with the bugs still inside. Has the Minister checked this out to make sure that this wood, which is outlawed in the provinces, is not getting into the Northwest Territories?
