Using the same methodology as for the community employment impacts, it is estimated that provincially, a total of 175 person-years of direct and spin-off employment may be created if the allowable annual cut were adjusted to the base case forecast and harvest levels were increased to the initial forecasted level. This estimate includes employment within and outside the timber supply area. The long-term sustainable timber supply level is estimated to result in a reduction of 108 person-years of employment. (SEA page 48)
Provincial government revenues, including stumpage and taxes, are projected to increase in the first decade by $2.9 million per year based on the same timber supply forecasts. As the long-term timber supply level is reached, provincial government revenues are expected to drop by $1.8 million. (SEA page 48)
