Mr. Speaker, I know that members opposite have talked a lot about controlled burns and ways to manage forests and ensure that forest fires do not become wild or uncontrolled.
I wonder if the member opposite knows that forest management plans are a jurisdiction of the province. I wonder whether he will acknowledge in this House that private forestry companies must operate under licence and timber supply agreements that provincial governments have clear jurisdiction over. I know that we have said many times in this House how important it is to coordinate efforts among all tiers of government and many other partners. We have heard ministers repeat this, and many of us have repeated it.
Could the member speak about the provincial responsibilities when it comes to these matters?
