F-4.1 - Forest Act

Full text
14.4. In the case of a natural disaster affecting the sugar bush subject to the permit or other forest resources in the territory, the Minister may modify the permit to ensure that the sugar bush or other forest resources affected are protected and conserved.
The Minister may also, for the same purposes, require the permit holder to apply standards of forest management or standards for tapping maple trees or doing other required work that are different from those prescribed by regulation of the Government, when the government standards do not provide adequate protection for the sugar bush or the forest resources affected by the disaster. These new standards, the areas where they are applicable and the regulatory standards for which they are substituted, if any, must be set out in the modified permit.
