		<description><![CDATA[The northern portion of our forests has not been allocated to
industry. Before that happens, we need land-use plans that address
ecological needs, First Nations rights and the economic potential of
these regions. The federal government has a responsibility for
completing these plans in the Northwest Territories.

Without any help from Canada&#8217;s Indian Affairs or their bureaucratic

northern Quebec have lived in the area now known as &#8220;LaVerendrye Park&#8221;
since time immemorial, long before colonial Quebec or Canada existed.
It&#8217;s a four hour drive north from Ottawa. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several months ago, two reports on the future of the Crown Forest in
New Brunswick received considerable attention in the media. After some
public discussion, the government indicated that it would be
considering them and releasing its decision in due course. We are

&#8220;The  legislation is an entirely unfounded and unscrupulous attack by the province of Newfoundland  and Labrador,&#8221; it says. &#8220;The  legislation, which is without precedent in Canada, and is reminiscent of  decrees emanating from jurisdictions with less democratic traditions, shocks  common sensibility.&#8221; The province hastily passed Bill 75 on Tuesday to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Environmentalists in BC are thoroughly divided by the RSP approach to
the Great Bear Rainforest (GBR). The RSP GBR model became the Canadian
Boreal Initiative model, which led to the FE Mountain Caribou model
which is now becoming the Encana Gateway &#38; Tar Corridor consent model.
