OTTAWA — Officials in Ottawa and British Columbia have welcomed a ruling under the North American Free Trade Agreement that found elements of the United States' calculation of softwood lumber duties are inconsistent with its own law.
A statement from Mary Ng, Canada's minister of international trade, says the government is pleased that the NAFTA dispute panel agreed with its challenge of American's so-called"dumping determination."
Ng's statement says the duties on Canadian softwood lumber are"unwarranted" and"the only fair outcome" is for the U.S. government to revoke them right away. B.C. Forests Minister Bruce Ralston issued a statement saying it's"encouraging" to see the panel agree with the"extensive evidence" supporting Canada's claims.
"Time and again, neutral third-party reviews of the softwood lumber dispute have confirmed these duties are unjustified," Ralston says.
