1 of the old growth, little remaining old growth pinewood
2 forest going on up there. But not only is it a National
3 Park but it actually has the accolade of being the United
4 Nations Biological Heritage Reserve, and it is still being
5 logged.

7 When you go to northern Finland, recently some extra land
8 in northern Finland in the lap territories has been put
9 into what they call "wilderness", but one further that
10 logging is allowed, what they call "sensitive logging", and
11 logging is happening in these so-called "wilderness" areas,
12 in newly acquired wilderness areas, in the north of
13 Finland.
14
15 Q. So that is a general point, that the conferring of a status
16 of National Park does not automatically give them
17 protection?
18 A. Not at all, no.

20 MR. MORRIS: I have no further questions.
21

23 Ms. Steel?

25 MR. RAMPTON: No.

27 Cross-examined by MR. RAMPTON
28
29 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, arising not out of Mr. Hopkins' statement
30 but out of evidence given this morning or out of the
31 questions asked by Mr. Morris, I do have two questions.
32 (To the witness): Have you got that beautifully coloured
33 (although horrifying in some ways) picture book there?
34 A. Yes.
35
36 Q. Can you turn to page 160?
37 A. Yes, indeed.
38
39 Q. Is that a picture of somewhere in Ontario?
40 A. It is, yes, I guess it is.
41
42 Q. What is it called?
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Gordon Cousins Forest, is it?
45 A. It is indeed.
46
47 MR. RAMPTON: Gordon Cousins Forest. Ontario is a huge
48 province, is it not? It is probably as big in one way or
49 another as Alberta or Manitoba, is it not?
50 A. Yes.
51
52 Q. Can you tell me where in Ontario Gordon Cousins Forest is
53 to be found?
54 A. North of the Great Lakes, according to this document
55 here.
56
57 Q. True enough but -----
58
59 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The whole of Ontario is north of the Great
60 Lakes.
