Sanna Marin, vice chairman of SDP, said the level of usage must be based on a reliable and timely scientific information.
Earlier on Sunday, in an interview with the news agency USU, Sipila said the "red-green" policy line would be a threat to forests and jobs.
CARBON NEUTRALITY
On Thursday, a joint report published the Finnish technological research center, VTT, and the National Institute for the Environment, SYKE, said Finland could reach carbon neutrality in 2040 still with tremendous viable economic sustainability.
The research did not give any direct answer as what is the safe limit of using Finland's forest without risking the carbon sink ability, but it was cautious about the increase of wood usage for industry. It noted that various scientific predictions exist.
Kimmo Tiilikainen, minister for the environment, said on Friday the fresh investigation allows "a small increase" in the industrial use of the forest as raw materials. He said the researchers had chosen to be on the safe side in their predictions.
The research also noted that there are "various ways of calculating the size of the forest carbon sinks and they give widely differing results".
Researcher Sampo Soimakallio told Yle, however, that it is certain that "the more forest is consumed, the smaller the sink gets".
"And we can always lose the carbon sinks," he added.
