In British Columbia, there are two types of log export controls. There are federal log export controls on privately held land, which is a fairly minor component of B.C., probably less than 1% of land.
From provincial crown land, which is about 94% of crown land, we have an export policy that requires any exporters to do two things. First, they have to advertise, at a market rate, any logs they propose to export before the logs are approved for export. There's one exception, which I'll go into in a minute.
The second thing that log exporters are required to do is pay what is called a fee in lieu of processing. A fee is charged to exporters to ensure that there is a disincentive, if you will, to exporting logs prior to their being processed.
