73.3.1. Every agreement holder shall, on the dates fixed by the Minister, pay as dues the amount determined prospectively for each date and representing the difference between
(1)  the portion of the dues payable by the agreement holder, determined by the Minister on the basis of the volume of timber indicated in the annual management plan submitted by the agreement holder, and on the basis of the unit rate that will be applicable at the beginning of the term of the forest management permit; and
(2)  the portion, determined by the Minister, of the value of the silvicultural treatments and other forest management activities to be carried out as stipulated in the annual management plan that may be admitted as payment of dues.
However, the data in the annual management plan is not binding on the Minister who may, for the purpose of calculating the dues payable, adjust the data, on the basis of the agreement holder’s past timber harvests in the case of subparagraph 1 and, in the case of subparagraph 2, on the basis of the agreement holder’s past record in respect of silvicultural treatments and other forest management activities.
At the end of the term of a forest management permit, any amount representing the difference between the dues payable under section 71 and those prescribed under this section shall, where due by the agreement holder, be paid within 30 days of the date of the statement determining the balance due; any amount payable by the Minister must be refunded within 90 days of the end of the term of the permit up to the amounts collected during that term.
