Page: 120 [476] Two days after Mr. Kennedy presented Mr. Monty with his proposal for getting the THA process back on the timetable, Mr. Monty sent a letter to Mr. Ballantyne. The letter addressed the timelines for the THA process. [477] Mr. Monty sent this letter as the Chair, THA Working Group. It is not an internal memorandum. It was written as an external communication from the Working Group to DIAND, 2010 FC 495 (CanLII) notwithstanding that Mr. Ballantyne is Mr. Monty’s supervisor. [478] Mr. Monty stated that the Working Group had recognized that the public input on the process indicated a desire for more consultation. As such, the projected date for negotiations was extended to March 2001 with a caution that September 2001 may be more appropriate. [479] I note that Mr. Kennedy was also a member of the THA Working Group. [480] There is a handwritten note on this exhibit, signed by Mr. Ballantyne, that is addressed to Mr. Monty. Mr. Ballantyne says, “[a]s discussed we have to keep with the timelines contained in the public document on THAs under “Next Steps” Minister committed to timelines.” [481] On June 22, 2000, SYFC wrote to Alan Chisholm, HRDC. This letter, written by Mr. Alan Kerr, said that the Board of SYFC had approved funding of up to $14,500,000 for Phase 2 on condition that there be financial participation from the Canada Jobs Fund and the YTG, and that the THA process continued as presented by DIAND. This letter is found at Exhibit D-11, Tab 92.
Page: 121 [482] However, there is another letter in Exhibit D-11, Tab 93, also dated June 22 nd , from SYFC to Mr. Chisholm in which Mr. Kerr said that no funding would be approved by SYFC until SYFC had been approved as eligible for a THA and until HRDC had approved partnership funding for Phase 2. 2010 FC 495 (CanLII) [483] These letters are consistent. They both identify the required prerequisites to any further funding commitment by SYFC and I so find. [484] SYFC issued a press release on June 26 th . In that press release, entered as Exhibit D-11, Tab 134, SYFC informed the public that they would be shutting down operations on June 30 th . The closure occurred due to the timing of CTP issuance. SYFC indicated that the length of the closure would depend on the ability to have certainty of a continuous supply of timber to take the mill through the summer and winter harvest seasons. [485] With the closure of the mill, 125 direct jobs were lost. At that time, the mill was the largest single private employer in the Yukon Territory. [486] On June 29 th , Mr. Monty sent an email to Mr. Ballantyne, Re: THA Process. This email was entered as Exhibit P-46. In this email Mr. Monty provided his supervisor with an update on the Working Group’s thinking to date: We propose issuance of small THA s to those individuals who have proven mill capacity over the last two years (ie Bowie, Dakawada,
