OFIA on Forestry Ministry

A forest industry group is being critical of the new amalgamated Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry.

The Ontario Forest Industries Association calls the split of power between the new ministry and natural resources incomplete.

Scott Jackson is the OFIA'S Manager of Forest Policy and says the new split leaves Minister Gravelle without any tools in his tool box.

Jackson notes the Ministry of Forestry needs to be in control of the Crown Forest Sustainability Act.
