Canada's international trade minister says the United States appears to be pressing ahead with what she calls 'unjustified' duties on softwood lumber imports.
Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development Mary Ng responds to question during question period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022. Canada's international trade minister says the United States appears to be pressing ahead with what she calls "unjustified" duties on softwood lumber imports.
The latest combined duty rates -- which are preliminary and won't take effect until after a final review expected this summer -- range between 7.29 and 9.38 per cent. "With these preliminary results, the U.S. Department of Commerce has indicated its intention to maintain its unjustified duties on imports of Canadian softwood lumber," Ng said in a statement Tuesday.
