OFIA questions Caribou Protection Plans

The Ontario Forest Industry Association is asking the Provincial environmental commissioner where he's getting his information from.

Gord Miller has stated that caribou protection measures won't hurt forestry in Northern Ontario.

OFIA Spoksperson Scott Jackson says current forest management plans already report an impact.

The areas outlined as caribou management zones supply wood fibre to mills in Dryden, Fort Frances, Kenora, Thunder Bay, Terrace Bay and Timmins.
