It was never the intention—it's now in legislation. If I look at the legislation, in section 63—I've already listed those three areas there—in subsection 4 it says:

native forest does not include a plantation.

plantation means an intensively managed stand of trees that is created by the regular placement of seedlings or seed.

Subsection 3 expressly prohibits financing of native forest logging. Is plantation logging covered? Is that something you can seek funding for under this bill?
