Jordi,
For Canada, I think the starting point would be Debora VanNijnatten & Robert Boardman (eds.), CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY: CONTEXT AND CASES, 2d ed. (2002). Ben Cashore (at Yale) is the author of a comparative study of U.S. and Canadian forest policy making. It seems not to be in print, but if you ask he may be able to get you a copy.

I realize the topic is big, but at this time she essentially needs some intro texts to get started. Any references will be genuinely appreciated. Cheers, J.
