That's just it. It can benefit basically any mill in Canada. At Nordic Structures, which is in northern Quebec in Chibougamau, they build their cross-laminated timber panels using black spruce. If you go to the tree line of Canada, the last tree you will see is black spruce, pretty much. It can use these small northern trees, and it can use big Douglas firs. The Structurlam beams are made using interior Douglas fir from the Kootenays. They can use basically any sort of wood—softwood, hardwood—and they do use it, depending on the need. They will often put the nicer, high-quality wood on the outside, and put beetle-kill wood on the inside of these panels because it has staining. It can be used across Canada, and any forestry company in Canada would benefit.
