the exception of white oak, walnut, cherry and white ash. Other than these, 

 the purchase from other provinces of wood native to Quebec is merely a matter 

 of convenience. It may be remarked that the province of Quebec gives as much 

 of its raw material to the wood-using industries of the other provinces as it 

 receives from them for its own consumption. Wood material from Ontario 

 forms 5-9 per cent of the total consumption of the industries of Quebec. The 

 Maritime Provinces contribute 1 2 per cent. The kinds of woods furnished by 

 these two provinces are also native to Quebec. 



Further, British Columbia furnishes 15,332,000 feet board measure, or 

 2 2 per cent of the total consumption. Quebec also purchased from the United 

 States 36,215,000 feet board measure of high class woods, of which some are 

 native to Quebec, but of which the supply is about exhausted, and some are not 

 grown in this province. This is equal to 5 2 per cent of the total consumption of 

 the province. Other foreign countries furnished 1,033,000 feet board measure. 



The following table gives details concerning wood supplies purchased out- 

 side of the province of Quebec :
