Report from March 4, 2021 Quebec's forests generate billions of dollars in spinoffs with an industry that creates 60,000 jobs. But the management of logging is said to be erratic to the point of creating a breach of trust. It is difficult for the population to counterbalance the forestry lobbies, and the government's consultation processes are described as bogus. Giving forests another purpose is almost impossible. More and more voices are being raised to denounce the industry's hold on the Ministry of Forests, for whom money seems to grow only in cut trees. Exhausted civil servants break the code of silence to reveal the flaws in the system.
