Softwood lumber agreement• Adopted in 2006; resulting from a disagreement over whether
Canadian stumpage pricing process constituted an unfair subsidy that disadvantaged the US lumber industry
• SLA expired in October 2015 • What has changed? Mountain pine beetle infestation in BC,
Canadian producers supply China’s demand for wood products, Canadian industry now owns a large stake in US lumber production
• Strong US $ makes Canadian lumber imports attractive• As demand from China falls, US producers have been concerned
about a “wall of wood” from across the border• Canadian producers see new trade restrictions as an unnecessary
intrusion on free trade, an effort to prop up values of US private forests and fear further duties could be retro‐active
• Negotiations began with PM Trudeau’s White House visit last month

Canadian forest industry moves south
• The Southern US pine region has abundant, low cost timber from productive, well managed private forests
• Canfor, West Fraser and Interfor; leading Canadian forest products companies hedge their bets, moving out of Beetle kill, into more lucrative business environment
• 35 SYP sawmills in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida are now owned by these three companies
• 4.5 billion board feet of production capacity. Mostly framing lumber. Studs remain a NW and Northern product due to strength characteristics.
• Roughly half of 2015’s housing starts were in the South.

Concluding thoughts• Slow but steady recovery for the US housing market• Low interest rates, cheap fuel and sluggish economy – watch pallets• Potential for multi‐level building with wood• Watch for mill closures and consolidation to continue as PNW log
supply is constrained• British Columbia production and imports are declining• Major growth for Southern US pine industry underway• Strong US $ influence on wood imports & exports• Less demand for NA wood products for China = less competition for
domestic wood supply• Squaring off with competitive Southern hemisphere industry:
productive plantations, modern pulp and panel mills; China demand and strong US $ ?
• PNW harvest levels will be flat in near‐term. Housing and exports
