The outlook, they predict will not be much better. Rate hikes expected to start in July could scare away shoppers. The rising costs of materials and manufacturing products could force manufacturers to increase prices by the fall, which could further dampen consumer spending. • ONTARIO TRENDS - Continued from page 7 Crown forests and oversee the competitive sale of timber in a given area; and 2) Enhanced Shareholder Sustainable Forest Licences (SFLs), a group of mills and/or harvesters that collectively form a new company to manage Crown forests under the Sustainable Forest Licence that is issued to them. According to the announcement these new models will help make Ontario’s timber supply and prices more responsive to market demand, make it easier for entrepreneurs to participate in the forest economy, and facilitate greater Aboriginal and local involvement in the forest sector. The plan, as laid out in Ontario’s 2011 Budget – Turning the Corner, designed to create and support 10,000 new and existing jobs for Ontario families and strengthen local economies, will have as a key component to build a stronger forest industry. Crown timber is currently harvested from nearly 40 Sustainable Forest Licences spread across northern and eastern Ontario. Since 2004, the Ontario government has committed to investing $1.1 billion (CDN) available through various past and present programs to assist the forest sector. On the industry side, however, many Northern Ontario organizations joined together to express their continued concern over the final content of Bill 151. On May 4, 2011 the Standing Committee on General Government met to vote on final amendments to the controversial Bill, which due to a time allocation motion filed by the Ontario Government, did not include an opportunity for discussion or debate. The Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce, the Northwestern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce (NOACC), the Ontario Forest Industries Association (OFIA) and the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association (NOMA) expressed disappointment that the Bill was fast tracked through the legislative process without sufficient amendment to resolve the problematic public policy implications.Extensive testimony was given by impacted stakeholders at public hearings held in Toronto in early April. These organizations argue the Bill is not in the best interest of Northern and rural municipalities. It remains flawed and will create uncertainty in the forest sector and jeopardize investment and employment opportunities. They say the Bill continues to provide the Government with the arbitrary right to unilaterally cancel wood supply agreements and commitments, and prevents anyone affected by such cancellations from seeking legal recourse, damages or compensation. The organizations still don’t understand the need for such speedy passage of the flawed legislation. In earlier meetings with members of these organizations, there was no mention about cancelling existing wood supply agreements without recourse or compensation. The forestry organizations feel that basic issues of definition and clarity were dismissed without discussion or debate, and are concerned about the level of analysis that was done on the ramifications and serious consequences of Bill 151 on Northern Ontario’s economy. The organizations also note that the Government has been trying to draw attention away from the controversial Bill by announcing wood supply allocations through the Wood Supply Competitive Process (WSCP). The WSCP, which is a separate process from tenure reform and which is supported by the organizations, will be undermined by Bill 151. Companies receiving allocations under the WSCP need to realize 52 Hardwoods...The All-Purpose Material
ONTARIO TRENDS - Continued that they no longer have security of supply. Many of the outstanding concerns consistently expressed by the Chambers of Commerce, OFIA and NOMA were reflected in an April 13, 2011 submission to the Standing Committee from the Ontario Bar Association (OBA), an organization which represents 18,000 lawyers, judges, law professors and students in Ontario. The OBA submission provided a detailed review of the Bill’s provisions and expressed numerous concerns, including the statement that provisions of Bill 151 “appear unfair to Ontarians and potential investors and we suggest they be redrafted to reflect a more balanced approach to the forestry partnership.” • OBITUARY James Edward Downes Jr. Weston, Mass.—James Edward Downes Jr. recently passed away.
