We're ready to respond. When I say “we”, I mean the industry and the environmental groups.
When we're dealing with this politically, the environmental groups in, say, Manitoba and Saskatchewan would say that huge amounts of intact forest have to be left for the caribou. Industry would say that no one is going to find another job if we shut the mills, and we have to leave the caribou aside and harvest what we need. What the boreal agreement says is that both sides have to sit down, not to fight it out but with maps. We have been doing this in Ontario. We've been doing it in Alberta. We're starting in Quebec. We have not started in Saskatchewan or Manitoba yet.
We sit down with maps and say, okay, here's the forest: this is the fibre supply and this is the caribou habitat. Is there a maximum solution that minimizes the impact on caribou and minimizes the impact on jobs? Can we find the sweet spot?
Sometimes you can protect the caribou with really no loss of jobs.
