FEDERAL-PROVINCIAL FORESTRY AGREEMENTS 463Federal-Provincial Forestry Agreement • July 3rd, 2007
Forest conditions and problems in Prince Edwar d Island differ materially from those encountered in the other provinces of Canada. In consequence the forestry agreement with that Province is specially designed to assist th e Province in the reforestation of waste lands unsuitable for the production of agricultural crops. Under this agreement the Government of Prince Edwar d Island is proceeding with a program for the reforestation of such lands and the Federal Government is sharing, on an equal basis, th e cost of carrying out that program. A maximu m federal contribution of $7,500 was provided for each of the first two years of the five year period covered by the agreement. B y the end of the fourth year the program had expanded greatly and the cost was almost doubled.
