Greenpeace Canada forest coordinator said in the December 6th statement, "The Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement was a framework for cooperation whereby companies like Resolute Forest Products agreed to stay out of areas of important habitat. When the biggest logging company in the Boreal Forest goes back on its word to stay out of critical habitat, it signals the Agreement has broken down."

Resolute Forest Products denies any wrong-doing. Greenpeace has released video and images of roads cut through old growth forest in an area designated as being off limits and under consideration for protection in the future. Under the CBFA, loggers pledged to suspend new logging in 29 million hectares of forest until final conservation plans were approved. Off-limit areas covered roughly 40 percent of total forest in question. In exchange environmental groups, including Greenpeace, agreed to no longer stage protests and campaigns against the 20 logging companies singed onto the CBFA.
