Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, heritage stands, as I understand it, are simply sections of the forest that are off limits to any harvesting. They are set aside for ecological reasons. We believe that some mature stands of timber are essential to the well-being of some of our wildlife species, such as mink, woodland caribou, as well as other species, and they need mature timber stands in order to thrive and continue to be in a state of well-being. These heritage stands, as we call them, are being designated at this time by the department as areas that we would like to see protected. They will be going into overall management plans and other information bases that will lead to the establishment of harvesting policies and forest management plans. Thank you.
