Full text
29. The Minister shall publish and keep up to date a forest management manual describing, in particular, the method and basis of calculation he uses or intends to use to determine, in respect of a particular forest area, the annual allowable cut and the expected effects of the various silvicultural treatments on the allowable cut. The method and basis of calculating the annual allowable cut, described in the manual, must contain information on how to take into account zones that have been selected by the Minister and the Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks with a view to the latter Minister recommending to the Government that it grant the zones a temporary protected status under the Natural Heritage Act (chapter C‐61.01).
The manual shall also describe the methods the Minister intends to apply to assess the actual effects of the treatments and to compare them with the projections made in the various forest management plans.
In addition, the manual shall describe the sampling methods for assessing silvicultural treatments that have been carried out to obtain the annual yields and the objectives for forest protection or forest development assigned by the Minister to a given forest territory, particularly objectives targeting biodiversity conservation.
For the territory referred to in section 95.7, the method and basis for calculating the annual allowable cut, described in the manual, must be determined taking into account the special provisions respecting the James Bay region set out in Division IV of Chapter III of this Title.
