Mr. Chairman, whenever we receive an application for a permit or a licence to harvest timber, we go through a process of consultation with all of the affected communities, or communities that have historically harvested in that area. They have a period of 42 days to express any concerns they might have with the application. The responses we receive are taken into consideration when deciding whether or not to issue the permit. Thank you.
