Explanatory Note
     This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on July 28, 2006 by Third Avenue Management LLC (“TAM”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 15, 2006 by TAM and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on October 27, 2006 by TAM (the “Statement”) relating to the common shares of (“Common Shares”) of Catalyst Paper Corporation, a Canada corporation (the “Company”).
     This Amendment No. 3 amends the Statement to reflect the material disposition of beneficial ownership of securities and the material decrease in the percentage of the Common Shares beneficially owned by certain investment advisory clients of TAM.
     Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Statement, and unless amended or supplemented hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended to add the following information:
     Pursuant to instructions from various investment advisory clients of TAM to liquidate their holdings of Common Shares, an aggregate of 2,461,211 Common Shares was sold on behalf of those investment advisory clients representing approximately 1.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Further, at the direction of certain other investment advisory clients, an aggregate of 1,767,919 Common Shares or approximately 0.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares was transferred out of the control and discretion of TAM. After giving effect to such non-discretionary sales and transfers of Common Shares, TAM continues to exercise control or direction over 76,946,378 Common Shares as investment adviser to other investment advisory clients. TAM is currently entitled to vote 73,352,330 of such Common Shares.
     Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, TAM may, in the future on behalf of its client accounts, acquire control or direction over additional Common Shares, sell Common Shares or cease to exercise control or direction over Common Shares.
