NOTICE OF QUESTIONS

Tuesday, February 28

10  Ms. Popham to ask the Hon. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations the following question: —

In the Twin Flower Creek watershed that surrounds Big Creek Ranch, the Forest Practices Board recommended that the hydrological assessment be done before any further logging begins. Will the Minister commit to conducting a proper hydrological study of this area before more logging begins?

11  Ms. Popham to ask the Hon. Minister of Agriculture the following question: —

For more than a century a creek ran through the lands of Big Creek Ranch — until last year when the creek ran dry. Now the rancher trucks in 1500 gallons of water a day to sustain his 150 head of cattle. Will the Minister agree to comply with the Forest Practices Board’s recommendation to bring in a dispute resolution mechanism so ranchers have somewhere to turn during a conflict over water use?
