NOMA Voices Concerns with Forest Tenure Act


The Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association is having its say about the Forest Tenure Act.

President Ron Nelson told a legislative committee yesterday NOMA wants a minimum five year trial period for the proposed forest management corporations.

"The question that I have for you as well is have you heard us?, "said Nelson. "Have you truly heard what we've said."

NOMA wants the bill amended before it returns to the Legislature for third reading.
