Chamber Prez wary of tenure changes

Forest Industry groups and business leaders are meeting today to discuss proposed changes to the forest tenure process. Minister of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry Michael Gravelle consulted the public last night on the issue. Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce President Harold Wilson says they're not sure what to make of the changes. The changes mean the big forest companies would have their current licences scrapped and they'd have to start over.
