It may be required to carry out such forestry, land management, and other programs and projects as may be authorized by myself as Minister. On May 1, 1974, changes were made in regulations under The Crown Timber Act relating to Crown dues and wood measurement. The purpose of these changes was to increase revenue from the sale of timber and simplify wood measurement procedures. Currently, a government task force is reviewing the entire revenue field.

compared to only $83 in Quebec and $44 in British Columbia. Ontario ' s forest industry provides 72,000 direct jobs for the province ' s labour force. These jobs generated 125,000 indirect positions in the supply and service sectors. The shipping value of all forest industry products increased to $1.9 billion in 1971. The value added by manufacturing in 1971 represented $883 million and places Ontario as the leader in adding value to each unit of roundwood harvested in the province. An important phase in forest site research was finalized with the publication of a unique set of 11 maps of land-type patterns at a scale of 1:125,000 for Southern Ontario, which can serve as a model for further mapping programs in the province. Tree breeding research has provided a firm basis to launch pilot projects in which hybrid poplars are grown during short rotations of 5-12 years, aimed at satisfying wood requirements of pulp mills in eastern Ontario and providing local farmers with a new source of income. Aspen was formerly regarded as a weed species in northern Ontario, but is now increasing in importance. It has become the subject of intensified silvicultural studies to improve the quality of the trees and their rate of growth. The Algonquin Forestry Act (Bill 155) was passed in December, 1974, and was proclaimed on January 1, 1975. This established the Algonquin Forestry Authority, which will be responsible for harvesting Crown timber in Algonquin Park, pro- ducing logs and providing these to established industry.
