Trade Minister Mary Ng says Canada is launching challenges under the North American free-trade deal as well as before the U.S. Court of International Trade.
The Canadian PressCanada is launching challenges under the North American free-trade deal as well as before the U.S. Court of International Trade over U.S. duties on softwood lumber.
Nine days ago, Ottawa sought a judicial review of last month's Treasury Department assessment of the levies, which provided modest relief but maintained the combined duty rate at 7.99 per cent. Tai has said the U.S. would be willing to negotiate, but only if Canada does away with a system that allows provinces to set prices for timber from Crown land.The U.S. ambassador to Canada echoed that sentiment in a statement issued Thursday evening.
"U.S. trade officials have communicated to Canada our commitment to reaching an agreement if Canada addresses underlying policy issues related to subsidization and fair competition."
