market standards that satisfies the discriminating buyers needs.

I see good things ahead for
all those participating in the manufacturing, wholesale, retail
& fabrication facets of the lumber industry. With an ending
to the downturn in the U.S. a slow but positive rebound to the U.S.
economy should filter north into Canada, helping the manufacturing
sector.
With interest rates at an all time low people
are continuing to purchase homes this will aid all other sectors.
With the Canadian dollar at a high the traditional
trend may prevail once again. If the $ does fall we may see STRONGER
exports to the U.S. hence higher prices in the manufacturing and
wholesale sectors compounded with possible supply shortages if manufacturers'
do not increase production levels.
This will only happen if paper prices increase
or prices hit levels that will warrant the sales and offset cheap
chip prices.
I also see an increasing demand for off-shore
exports as quality Canadian Wood becomes more & more requested
in foreign markets.
All in all I see a prosperous future for
Canada !
