    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They more or less go, with the omission of
    12        150, with the even numbers; is that because there is a

    15
    16   Q.   Do they describe where the areas are?
    17        A.  They do describe.  There is a map with a little red dot
    18        here which shows where the area is.
    19
    20   Q.   Can I just look for myself?
    21
    22   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, they also have the name of the particular

    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  146, Caribou Mountains; 148, Wood Buffalo
    27        National Park.  You did not want me to look at 150.  You
    28        are not relying on 150?
    29        A.  I am not relying on 150.

    34        not far away from where I worked in the forest in the
    35        summer of 1960 but I learnt nothing which will help me with
    36        this case!  160, Gordon Cousins Forest, Ontario; 162 in
    37        Quebec, you do not want me to ----

    44        A.  These are a series of examples of clear cutting which
    45        I have taken, basically working west to east across
    46        southern Canadas, southern Canadian states, and they show
    47        the effects of clear cut forestry and the size and scale of
    48        the clear cuts in those areas.
    49
    50   Q.   In your statement you have said at:  "11.2.2:  While there 
    51        are considered to be the usual problems with the conversion 
    52        to plantation in all areas of Canada, the clear cutting of 
    53        the North American Pacific coast temperate forests" --
    54        sorry, that is British Columbia.  Sorry, you will have to
    55        explain then?
    56        A.  Yes.
    57
    58   Q.   Is the clear cutting the only problem in Canada or are the
    59        usual plantation problems also evident?
