Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 23, 1983 Forestry is vital to Canada -'Long before Canada became a nation, for- estry was one of our most important. indus- tries. Perhaps no in- dustry has been as im- portant in opening Ca- nada for development than the forest sector. A healthy forest in- dustry is vital to Cana- da's economy now and in years to come. -. Forestry contri- butes directly to the economic well being of numerous communities and regions across Ca- nada. As an employ- ment generator among primary resource . sec- . tors, the forest industry ranks first or second in - 10 of 16 economic re- gions in Atlantic Cana- da, 8 of 10 in Quebec's economic regions and first in all 6 Ontario eco- nomic regions. In British Columbia, the forest séctor is the leading employment generator in 8 regions and second in only 2 regions where mining and smelting dominate. One in 10 working Canadians is directly or indirectly employed by the forest industry. _.In northern Ontario, 70 per cent of the manu- facturing lgbour force is employed by. the forest 'mapufacturing sector. Across Canada, the potential exists for the creation of about 100,000 new jobs through growth in the forest industry. The forest industry is an important element in Canada's economy. This country is the leading exporter of lumber, "newsprint and pulp. In 1980, forest industry ex- rts reached $14.8 bil- _lion of 17 per cent of Canada's export trade. The Federal -Govern- ment Role -- i The . Government -of Canada recognizes pro- vincial jurisdiction over forest resources. The federal government also accepts responsibility, along with industry, labour and the provin- ces, to make sure for- estry continues to grow "maintain its and occupy its leading place in the national eco- nomy. The Government of Canada plays an import- ant role in supporting the forest industry. Through multina- tional trade negotia- tidns, the Canadian government has helped to lower tarrif barriers around the world to provide Canadiaa forest sector products with - wider market --acosss.. . Export development - programs have been act- ively pursued by the Government of Canada. The United States is the largest market for forest sector exports. Most northern Ontario forest products are sent to the United States. _ In December 1982, the Canadian govern- ment lodged a formal . protest with the United States government against an American in- vestigation into Cana- da's forest sector which could result in the in- crease of tariffs on Canadian forest pro- ducts by about 65 per cent. The note of protest against the U.S. tariff investigation is only part of the government's activities in assisting the forest industry to grow. The forest industry is the largest single indus- trial user of energy in Canada. The pulp and paper industry accounts for 24 per cent of all industrial purchase of fuel and electricity. The National Energy Program (NEP) and energy pricing agree- ments witkethe produc- ing provinces have kept energy prices below price levels in most countries of the world. Lower energy "cos® help the forest industry edge in producing forest products at competitive prices. In July 1980, the Government of Canada increased available DREE grants under the Pulp and Paper continued from page 6 THANK YOU Thanks to all who have been so kind to me after my hockey injury, you have all helped pick' up my spirits.
