OFIA on Forestry Ministry

The forest industry seems to be embracing last weeks cabinet shufflewhich saw the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines take overresponsibility for the province's forests from the MNR.

Jamie Lim is executive director of the Ontario Forest Industries Association and says the move should be a positive one.

Lim says she wants to make sure Northern Development and Minestakes over all forestry related files.

Otherwise she suggests the move could just create more red tape forforest companies.
