Environmental groups, forestry unions challenging raw log exports from B.C By GREG JOYCE
VANCOUVER (CP) - Two environmental groups joined two forestry unions in court Tuesday to try to stop the export of raw logs from B.C. Crown lands.
In a hearing expected to last all week, the Sierra Legal Defence Fund wants the B.C. Supreme Court to overturn a three-year permit to export 1.3 million cubic metres of timber annually from northwestern British Columbia.
Sierra lawyer Devon Page, acting for the David Suzuki Foundation, the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers' Union and the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers' Union of Canada, is challenging a cabinet order-in-council of February 2002.
