FSC Canada recognizes that some of the draft language is difficult to understand. We are working with colleagues at FSC International to clarify the language and its intent. We encourage stakeholders to submit general comments about the advice notes and interpretations, as well as any specific text edits you care to offer. Please comment by using the comment form provided on the consultation web page above.
Thank you,
