recommended

minimum
of

The
committee
headed
by
Omineca
Socred
Cyril
Shelf
ord
said
It
was
concerned
about
trafficking
in
timber
quotas
During
public
hearings
loggers
complained
that
quotas
were
being
bartered
at
high
prices
The
report
suggested
a
thor
thorough
�
ough
study
of
quota
trading
and
the
possibility
of
a
government
fee
each
time
a
quota
is
sold
Threats
of
blackmail
bidding
on
timber
sales
to
force
up
prices
on
timber
sales
were
also
charged
by
loggers
before
the
committee
The
bidding
fee
is
aimed
at
curbing
this
practice
and
the
committee
said
it
was
not
recommedlng
any
further
action
pending
more
study
The
committee
asked
the
leg
slature
to
give
It
power
next
year
to
study
pulp
harvesting
licences
and
to
review
methods
of
appraising
logs
It
also
proposed
further
study
next
year
of
sub
contracting
logging
within
the
big
tree
farm
licence
areas
I
icence
holders
at
present
must
allow
independent
loggers
to
cut
between
30
and
50
per
cent
of
their
timbet
The
committee
said
lofgeis
are
not
taking
full
advantage
of
theii
opportunities
and
recommended
110
changes
in
the
present
regulations
However
the
committee
asked
for
more
representations
from
the
forest
industry
and
suggested
further
review
of
the
situation
next
year
It
also
suggested
that
written
contracts
be
made
available
for
study
The
committee
said
that
