As we look at managing forests we are doing a whole host of

things. We are continuing with our inventory that we’re undertaking on Crown lands. We’re working with communities on community forest management plans that are anticipating in the boreal forest area the development of possible biomass facilities that would allow communities to have access to ongoing biomass supplies close to their communities. We’re working, with interest, as we’ve indicated in this House yesterday. For example, Member Groenewegen from Hay River South mentioned about biomass pellet plants. We’re investigating that opportunity. As well, we’re looking at our obligations and requirements under silva culture to make sure that we’re replenishing the forests. We’ve been up the valley working with communities as far north as the Member’s riding, looking at fast growing willows to see the potential there for biomass. We are doing a lot of work. We’ve tied in with Wilfred Laurier University through our science agenda to look at things like permafrost, the changes to the landscape, what’s happening with climate change as the forest moves north, what that’s doing to different species that make up the boreal forest. We are engaged on many fronts on this particular area.
