The Annual Report of Compliance and Enforcement Statistics for the Forest Practices Code
This table shows the frequency of the various formal enforcement decisions made to address various contraventions.
It should be noted that there is not direct correlation between the number of contraventions and the number of decisions made. For example, one incident of unauthorized harvesting may result in the issuance of a stopwork order and a remediation order; the forfeiture of the timber involved; and the levying of a monetary penalty. Other incidents involving numerous contraventions may be dealt with by the levying of a single monetary penalty.
