The outlook for the Canadian forest industries / by the Forestry Study Group.: Z1-1955/2-41-21E-PDF

"For more than a century Canada's forest industries have constituted a major sector of the national economy. That they will continue to play a leading role over the next 20 to 30 years, there can be little doubt. The demand for wood products is rising both at home and abroad. In many countries current levels of utilization are already pressing against available wood supplies. But in Canada the physical resources necessary to support a substantial increase in production appear to be available. Thus, although cost and price considerations may limit expansion in some parts of Canada and result in marketing problems with respect to certain forest products, the outlook is for a marked increase in both domestic sales and exports during the next quarter century"--Summary, page iv.
