    Pleaman Forsey says the “issues identified by the Auditor General go far deeper than the changes proposed by Minister Byrne.”

    The opposition’s shadow Forestry Minister, Pleaman Forsey, says he is “appalled by the report’s findings, particularly that government registries are not even reconciled, leading to inconsistent and outdated information across systems. Forsey says the Land Use Atlas is out of date, and the division doesn’t take complaints seriously. He says the “issues identified by the Auditor General go far deeper than the changes proposed by Minister Byrne.” The department’s Crown Lands Division receives approximately 3600 applications per year, and provides a range of uses including recreation, economic development, conservation, agricultural use, and other services.
