We strongly disagree with that assertion. Yes, the decree affects 4% of forestry potential across Quebec, but that represents 7.7% for Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean and 12.3% for Côte-Nord. This is completely disproportionate to the impact that will be felt throughout Quebec. The impact will be much greater in areas such as the Haute-Côte-Nord and Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean. In the Haute-Côte-Nord region, for example, Boisaco will lose around 60% of its allowable cut over the next few years, if the decree is imposed.
