Quebec cancels controversial forestry bill after Indigenous and environmental backlash.
Quebec has scrapped a contested forestry reform bill after facing strong opposition from Indigenous leaders and environmental groups.
The legislation, aimed at reclassifying public forests into conservation, multi-use, or logging zones to support rural economies, was criticized for threatening Indigenous rights and environmental protections.
Following backlash, former forest minister Maïté Blanchette Vézina was removed from cabinet and later resigned from her party.
Premier François Legault announced the bill’s cancellation during a meeting of the Quebec federation of municipalities, marking a policy reversal amid increasing pressure to balance economic, environmental, and Indigenous interests in forest management.
