Softwood & Hardwood Lumber Report – Present & Future Trends
Softwood Report - Hardwood Report

Our main commodity has lost strength in the past six months and soon, due to closures of mills in the forest industry, we may be faced with a shortage and increase in pricing. This meeting will invite two prominent lumber speakers to discuss this possibly situation.

CWPCP -ISPM 15 Monitoring, Changes, and Opportunities
HT material in kiln for in-house use & resale to Registered Facilities
The new D-01-05 does now allows Kiln owners that are registered on the CFIA website, to heat treat lumber, both used and new (green), to utilize HT material for their own manufacturer of wood packaging or for other certified registered facilities.

We will discuss this option and help everyone assess and understand options open if they purchase a kiln or simply use HT lumber from a mill or broker.

Cessation or Termination of the Bi Lateral Agreement – USA & Canada
Every registered facility and member of this association has been informed by letter and in the newsletter that the USDA is speaking and meeting to terminate the bi lateral agreement between Canada and the USA.

The cessation of this agreement has many companies trying to understand whether the termination of this agreement will benefit or harm their company and the way they do business with their consumers.
At this meeting Jean-Luc Poupart will present the reasoning behind the termination of the bi lateral agreement and the USDA’s determination to cancel this agreement. This open discussion will assist our government in understand how to best negotiate the control of the removal of this agreement.

CWPCP/CHTWPCP Open discussion – Program Questions and Answers

Do we now require an "Environmental Policy Statement for Sustainable Packaging” or “Carbon Footprint” for the wooden pallet/packaging?
It is becoming very evident that our large North American and International companies are looking for the wooden pallet/wood packaging industry to supply them with an “Environmental Policy Statement for Sustainable Packaging”.

Is time we commenced the work on a Carbon Footprint for our commodity and the green positive message we can promote?

Many of our larger consumers (Wal Mart, Costco, IBM) are looking to provide the world with a positive carbon footprint of all packaging material used by their company and suppliers.

Emerald Ash Bore Regulation – Policy Directive D-03-08
EAB Spreading in Ontario on Firewood, Nursery Stock and Wood Packaging. EAB has now been detected in Toronto when many thought we had this pest surrounded in SW Ontario. Let’s get the most up to date information and how it will affect our industry. [reasoning behind the cessation of the bi lateral agreemtn]

“Heat Treatment Options for Wood Packaging Materials” How does this work for you?
Peter Garrahan, FPInnovations - Forintek Division has agreed to discuss the lifting of the requirement of PI-07 for all kilns and offer our industry a probe alternative.

The compliance to PI-07 has been called a trade barrier by some and many are hoping for a quick response to allow them to simply use probes to verify that the material in their kiln meets or surpasses the 56° for 30 minutes to the core requirement.

Peter wishes to generate some discussion on the type of chambers people have purchased (or are considering) and what type of monitoring requirements they would be comfortable with?

Ontario Ministry of Labour – Initiative for 2008
Theresa Frachette, Theresa Frechette Safety Consulting Services will attend to announce the Ontario Ministry of Labour’s initiative for 2008. Last year the main initiative was ERGONOMICS – the twisting and turning of the employee within his/her workstation. This year they have captures another initiative and Mrs. Frachette will discuss this with the delegates and the options available to meet this challenge.
