Cansfield Visits Kenora

Bureaucrats with the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry ofNorthern Development and Mines have started work to move forestry out of the MNR.

Premier Dalton McGuinty announced last month that he wanted Northern Development and Mines to take over responsibility for forest issues.

Natural Resources Minister Donna Cansfield says there are a number of issues that still have to be worked out.

Cansfield suggests that her ministry will still have some responsibility for forest issues that pertain to the Species At Risk Act, Invasive Species and maintaining water quality.

She made her comments during a short visit to Kenora on Friday.
