Canada Breaches a US Lumber Deal

An interesting story in the National Post: U.S. claims victory in lumber case against Canada.

Peter Allgeirer - US Trade Representative, also states that Canada /Ottawa now has to collect 68.26-million from eastern canada. Mr. Allgeier says he is pleased. Canadian officials are disappointed and now have to figure out how to cure the 2006 breach - duties US had imposed on Canadain lumber unfair pricing practises.

Stake Holders are the Softwood Lumber Industry, Canadian Officials & the Trade Minister Stockwellday, US Government, Steve Swanson- chairman for the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports, Canadian Industry, LCIA tribrunal

The message is canada needs to keep on top of the trade industry, the softwood lumber industy and the trade agreements that are in place .

This article is not great PR for Canada.

The audience could be the Canadain Taxpayers, Softwood lumber industry, First Nations resourse management.
