volume grow significantly in 2010/11 in comparison to 2009/10, and to a lesser degree<br />

so did Quebec. All other regions experienced a decline in series production during the same<br />

time frame. It is noteworthy that both BC and Quebec were eligible territories for the CMF’s<br />

100<br />

accounting for an additional 28%.<br />
