Dirk Meissner, The Canadian PressVICTORIA -- The latest shutdown announcement from a wood products firm in British Columbia threatens the jobs of 800 employees in what the province's forests minister concedes is an industry "correction."
"It's an indefinite shut down, and obviously, we intend to restart those operations as soon as possible," said Kotze. "It could be painful. It is of course impossible to predict when we will see a more sustained recovery in lumber prices. The sooner the better for us."

"The industry needs a correction and it's happening now.
Opposition Liberal forestry critic John Rustad said in a statement the government's policies are killing the industry and resulting in more layoffs and closures.
