business recovery When the business environment improves in Canada and other industrialized nations Canadas recovery will be bolstered by its forest industries the countrys number one business activity Consider this fact one job in ten depends on our forests The Canadian pulp and paper industry is poised to regain strength But it considers that some basic facts must be recognized to keep Canadian forest products competitive in world markets Pulp and paper is a leading industry in nine Canadian provinces The economics of more than towns Pulp and paper leads in many areas value of wages paid value added by manufacture transport use and contribution to the Canadian trade balance Two facts underscore how much depend upon export success a Exports account for eighty per cent of what leaves Canadian mills The men and women of the industry could produce all of Canadas needs for pulp and paper between New Years Day and March Exports of forest products contribute more to Canadas trade balance than any other group of products Now Canadas traditional strength in world pulp and piper markets is facing a double squeeze On one hand some Canadian costs are being pushed too high on the other this is stimulating the construction of competing mills in other countries For Canada to hold its share of world markets vigorous leadership is required of management labour and governments at all levels to build on their recogni tion of the following realities Canada has a successful record of selling pulp and paper abroad Although Canada has of the worlds forest reserves it accounts for about 30 of the pulp and paper sold internationally The US is Canadas principal customer and prin cipal competitor but competition is intensifying everywhere Brazil New Zealand South Africa and
