| Message | The privatization of the forest sector will not result in mass devastation of forests. It will, however, stimulate growth in this small sector and create employment. This would not be needed if hemp was legalized as a viable alternative, however. |

| Message | I think Article 2 is a step too far in our opinion |

| Message | How so? Local government can determine the best cause of action within their local areas. Totally leaving it up to forestry companies would be going too far. Local governments can determine which forests are protected and if there is a need to protect them. |
