What is the relationship of BCTS to other licensees?
BCTS will sell timber in a way that ensures the prices bid on auctioned timber provide credible data to set the price on all timber harvested from Crown land. To do this, it must function in a manner similar to other licences, ensuring that sales are representative of the costs and opportunities available on the larger Crown land base. While BCTS will emulate the operations of a private sector forest company, it remains part of the Ministry of Forests and government.
