正文(英文) | April 27, 2017 Ottawa Natural Resources Canada U.S. duties on Canadian softwood lumber are unfair and the Government of Canada will vigorously defend the interests of the Canadian softwood lumber industry. As always, our first priority is to protect Canadian jobs and communities. Today, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Jim Carr, held a call with his provincial counterparts to discuss how to help Canadian workers and communities affected by the countervailing duties announced earlier this week, and to examine additional measures. Ministers from Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador joined the discussions for the first time, after their provinces were not exempted from the new countervailing duties. Key items discussed included coordinating programs among the federal government and provincial counterparts, including:
Today’s discussion builds on a number of recent efforts made on the softwood lumber file to ensure the continued growth and vibrancy of this sector. Over the longer term, the federal government will be working with the provinces and industry to accelerate industry’s transformation through innovation and diversification of markets in Europe and Asia, particularly China. The Government of Canada will continue to press American counterparts to rescind this unfair and unwarranted trade action. We are committed to working with the U.S. Administration to achieve a durable solution and remain confident that a negotiated settlement is not only possible but in the best interests of both countries. The Federal–Provincial Task Force on Softwood Lumber was created to share information and analysis and assess how to address the needs of forest workers and communities. The task force complements Canada’s ongoing efforts to negotiate a softwood lumber trade agreement with the United States to ensure that our country’s forest sector remains a key driver of our economy, particularly in rural communities.
