Canadian lumber producers say time is ripe for softwood talks with Biden administration - The Globe & Mail

“Minister Ng underscored Canada’s interest in exploring all avenues to resolve the dispute, including negotiations on a new softwood-lumber agreement, which the United States has blocked and refused to participate in,” Global Affairs Canada said in a statement on Friday.

The CEOs want the federal government to place the softwood file onto the agenda for the March 23-24 summit in Ottawa between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden.

In the latest round of the trade war dating back more than 40 years, Canadian producers have been paying U.S. lumber duties since 2017.
