AI Article Summary
Quebec's lumber producers are facing challenges due to additional import taxes imposed by the United States. Already burdened by high tariffs of 35%, an additional 10% levy exacerbates the economic difficulties for these companies. Options being considered include reducing activities or suspending operations. The Canadian domestic market may provide a partial solution, but it is not enough to compensate for current losses.

For Quebec builders, this means increased pressure on construction costs and potential project delays. Contractors must anticipate supply chain fluctuations and consider alternatives to limit impacts on timelines. Exploring new methods like prefabrication could offer competitive advantages in this challenging environment.
