I refer to the Minister's response to question on notice No. 1900 about the 2004-2013 Forest Management Plan, in which he states that although the Government does not undertake a forest-wide cumulative review of timber removals against predictions, records are kept of the timber yield by species and log grade from cut-over coupes versus the predicted yield from those coupes, and I ask: (a) will the Minister please provide: (i) the numerical record detailing predicted species volumes and log grades per year for each cut-over coupe; and (ii) the numerical record detailing the actual species volumes and log grades obtained from each cut-over coupe per year; and (b) will the Minister provide the “comprehensive review of predictions . . . performed as part of the calculation of the sustained yield estimates for each Forest Management Plan” for the 2014-2023 Forest Management Plan?
