Not really for us. From what I understand, the measure only applies to interprovincial rail transport. So it won’t really help us. On the other hand, if this measure were extended to transportation to the United States border, it would help us tremendously.
Moreover, what scares me a little in this respect is that the big companies in the west could take this opportunity to liquidate wood. If they have significant inventories, they could benefit from assistance for interprovincial transport to dump product on the market in Toronto or Montreal, for example. They could send their wood to the east, and that would take away some opportunities for us.
I have some concerns about this measure. Furthermore, in terms of our interprovincial transport, this measure won’t really help us.
