Discours de l'Hon. S.N. Parent, premier ministre

A political address by Quebec Premier S.N. Parent delivered to the Legislative Assembly on April 25, 1903, concerning timber rights and pulpwood harvesting. This document reflects the intersection of Canadian resource politics and industrial expansion at the turn of the twentieth century, when pulp and paper production was reshaping provincial economies and land use policies. The formal typography and austere design signal a government publication rather than popular literature, yet pulpwood itself was becoming the raw material that would feed the publishing boom of cheap magazines and newspapers across North America.
