Independent review of Nova Scotia forestry given two-month extension
HALIFAX — The independent review of Nova Scotia’s forestry practices has been extended by two months.
Announced Aug. 30, the review headed by University of King’s College president Bill Lahey was originally due next Wednesday, but is now expected to be completed by the end of April.
Natural Resources Minister Margaret Miller says Lahey requested the extension because more work is required to complete the report.
Lahey has said he’s been given a broad mandate, including the ability to examine clear cutting.
