What it does

This program responds to cyclical and structural downturns and trade irritants that threaten the forest sector. The Program seeks to diversify markets, products, and processes. These outcomes are essential to the long-term viability and growth of Canada's forest sector. This Program addresses forest industry challenges/needs through initiatives that advance Canada's bioeconomy and create/maintain market opportunities. Program success is also supported by work that advances favourable international forest policies and increased Indigenous participation in natural resource development. Initiatives include the delivery of transfer payment programs, the development of strategies, advocacy/advice, and international policy work that together advance Canada's priorities on trade, jobs, the economy, climate change and other environmental issues. Target groups include: the forest sector; buyers of Canadian wood products; construction practitioners, e.g., building engineers, architects and builders; federal government departments, e.g. Global Affairs Canada; foreign governments; provinces/territories; and Indigenous groups.
