In the Canadian context, what is in natural abundance often doesn't end up being the one that's lower cost in the long run because the Europeans will look to models that are more easily harvested as they go through those second- and third-generation stands. That's fine. Actually, I am a huge proponent of the way Canada approaches forest management in terms of the quality of wood.
However, as we start looking at more engineered wood products, I'm wondering if you see advantages, areas for concern or disadvantages for Canadian forest products relative to other countries.
