There is a great deal of concern with the increase of harvesting, the reduction of the wildlife areas, the deer yards, and the management practice. The entire forest sector seems very oversubscribed at this point in time.
A personal opinion—and it's shared by most of our committee around the table—is that the industry is forced into taking a great deal of fibre out of our forests, so yes, we think that's a major impact.
We have several studies from the Catamaran Brook project, which also has pretty much collapsed now. It's a small sub-watershed on the Miramichi. It illustrated that the current buffer zones of 30 metres seemed to be adequate for the larger waterways in terms of filtering out and that doesn't seem to have all that great an impact on water temperatures from what we understand from the various studies from that. But in other ways, just in terms of the volumes, the forest management seems to be entirely out of hand.
