Resumen
Descripción
Good morning, and welcome to the CN Trade Relations Forum on Forest Product
Markets. We’ve brought together a considerable group of industry experts to provide
an overview of the situation in both the US and Alberta markets, as well as forecasts
for a variety of forest products.
The recent challenges facing the Alberta forest industry have sparked renewed
interest in the future of markets for our forest products. Low commodity prices, trade
barriers, Mountain Pine Beetle outbreaks, spiralling costs and a tight labour market
are just some of the factors acting as a drag on the sector. This workshop places the
Alberta situation within the context of the North American and global marketplaces.
Market experts will provide insight into the demand for our forest products, now
and going forward.
