Raw log exports allowed to continue CBC News
VANCOUVER - The B.C. Supreme Court has rejected a bid by a coalition of unions and conservation groups to stop the export of raw logs.
The coalition says the logs being sent out of the province to the U.S., Japan and China represent lost jobs in B.C.
The provincial government has allowed forest companies to export the equivalent of 28,000 truckloads of raw logs from Crown land in northern B.C.
And the judge ruled the B.C. cabinet has complete discretion to make that decision.
Greg Hall of the Pulp and Paper Woodworkers of Canada says the policy doesn't make economic sense.
'Sawmills and pulp mills around the province are having a serious problem obtaining fibre, and yet the government seems to say that there's all this surplus wood to be shipped out.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:34 AM :: reference link ::
