To be fair, he said that Canada would benefit from being a part of the

They do need the lumber actually.

There is an area with fire damage on the west coast,
and they could use wood for the reconstruction as
part of fire cleanup.

 
Hmm! Using WOOD as part of a FIRE Clean-up?? Am I the only one seeing a problem there?? ;-P

Dollar for dollar, wood frame construction is one of the cheapest
ways to build domiciles. That is how we can have single family
dwellings and home ownership. Other material choices would price
single family dwellings out of the market.

More robust materials, it's harder to drive fasteners into them.

There are articles available on "disaster proof" homes, but
I expect there will still be practical issues that will make
them too expensive. For some, you would not get approval
from city hall.

For the hilly country where the fire occurred, if you remove
all the vegetation to reduce fire risk, then there will be
landslides from erosion. It's not exactly the easiest place
to live, in the first place.

Our country is getting drier, and there are forest fires all
summer long here. We need to build more water bombers for the
fires. The scale of the problem is different now. When fighting
fire now, we elect to let some of them burn, because... we could
not stop them, even if we wanted to. Too big. Too hot. But if
settlement or cities are involved, they get priority.

Fire is a natural part of forest renewal. Back when the environment
in the forest was a bit cooler, it was a bit damper, and the fires
did not burn into the roots. This allows land to start the regeneration
process in two years. With the drier climate, the tree type is
not really optimal for the temp and climate, and the areas should
be replanted with some other kind of tree. Up to the point, that
the environment is so bad, that no tree will grow. If you allow a
land to erode sufficiently, it will desertify, so a worst case
would be for a large desert to open up.
