A B.C. forest industry group says companies here should consider moving their wood-product manufacturing to China to take advantage of lower wages there.
B.C. already exports low-grade lumber to China, where it goes through the remanufacturing process and is then sold around the world.
Coast Forest Products Association president Rick Jeffery says Chinese manufacturers have a financial advantage over B.C. companies.
"They have access to a workforce at very low wages, and it's a very motivated workforce."
The association says B.C. needs to develop a plan on how to compete with wood products made in China – suggesting that could include taking advantage of that cheaper Chinese labour.
