Opposition MLAs challenge government on log exports away from Surrey sawmill
By Tom Fletcher
May 13th, 2008
VICTORIA - Opposition MLAs are calling on the B.C. government to stop an effort to export logs supplying a Surrey sawmill.
Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains asked Forests Minister Rich Coleman recently about a letter to government officials from MacKenzie Sawmill Ltd. asking them to deny an application to export logs. In the letter, MacKenzie president Rob Sohi said his mill is having difficulty obtaining the large logs it needs.
Bains and NDP forest critic Bob Simpson said the mill was getting some of its log supply from forest licences held by Interfor.
However, those cutting rights were transferred to the Squamish Nation as part of the B.C. Liberal government's 2002 redistribution of forest tenures.
The Squamish Nation has applied for government permission to sell logs for export.
