I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) I table
the information.
(2)–(3) The
Forest Products Commission is currently following up with sawmills which are
yet to submit data. However, as previously advised, there is no requirement for
sawmills to provide this data.
(4) The FPC's
strategic objective for this budget allocation is to upgrade the outdated
software systems and hardware to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
its management of harvest operations and contracts.
