As I noted, Canada has the largest area of forests in the world where practices are third party independently certified. They may be certified by one or more third party standards, including the Canadian Standards Association, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Forest Stewardship Council.
Approximately 158 million hectares—as I mentioned, about 70%—of Canada's managed Crown forest are certified under one of these certifications. What these certifications do is they provide added assurance that a forest company is operating legally and is compliant with internationally accepted standards for sustainable forest management. All companies operating in Canada must comply with the laws and regulations with respect to the forest sector writ large. This supports Canada's reputation, of course, of being a reliable source of legally and sustainably produced forests.
