I am not finding the recent e-mail and phone activity conducive to
this relationship. Threats & harrassment are not helpful.
As we all want the mill to be successful we should be working as a
team on this. On May 31 we provided our assessment of the wood
available for the next year or so. We had staff travel to Watson Lake
to meet with permit holders and seekers to determine how things
were shaping up on the ground. I would encourage June to talk to
Jennifer/Terry Kennedy to get a debrief on this. Our new Regional
Manager of Forest Resources, Howard Madill starts next week and
working with the company will be a high priority for him.
2010 FC 495 (CanLII)
Can I ask you to work with us in a positive way so that all our efforts
are directed at the challenges facing the company rather than
diverting our energies in a variety of non-productive directions. We
need to work together on this year’s and next year’s wood supply and
on the THA process.

[436] By June, the timeline for THAs had started to slip. Exhibit D-66, another THA document
created by the Defendant, contained a timeline which anticipated that short-term THAs would be in
place by May 2000.
[437] For the remainder of the summer of 1999, the mill operated with a supply of timber that was
sufficient for the short-term.
[438] On August 10 th , SYFC wrote to the Minister, now Mr. Robert Nault. This letter, found in
Exhibit D-11, Tab 58, advised that SYFC had sufficient volume to operate in the summer and fall of
1999 and was interested in securing a THA.
