Une partie de l’aide est alors perdue, et ceux qui ont le plus de forêt à entretenir sont souvent les plus pénalisés. Le présent amendement corrige cette situation. »
Translation: For an owner who already benefits from other tax advantages, the remaining margin is sometimes very small. Part of the aid is then lost, and those with the most forest to maintain are often the most penalised. This amendment corrects that situation.
