103.4. The rights and obligations of guarantee holders with regard to the harvest of the standing timber they purchase are set out in an agreement entered into with the Minister.
The harvest agreement specifies the forest operations zones where the timber is to be harvested and sets out the conditions for harvesting and for the other forest development activities related to this responsibility. It also sets out the other commitments the guarantee holder must meet and the penalties for failure to meet the applicable obligations.
In addition, it contains rules respecting the annual program of forest development activities as the latter are set out in the operational plan for integrated forest development, as well as rules that govern, in the forest operations zones concerned, the harvest of timber not intended for the guarantee holder.
The information in the agreement must be available to the public.
