canadian softwood Our position of advocating for "fair and equitable" trade in lumber and wood products has been a long-standing position of the union. The UBC, for example, worked on and supported the bi-lateral trade negotiations in 1996 that produced the five-year Softwood Lumber Agreement. That agreement has helped protect the jobs and livelihoods of UBC members and has not imposed hardship on Canadian industry or its workforce, and has in no way had an adverse impact on UBC members in Canada.
Our decision to join the countervailing and anti-dumping cases when the Soft Lumber Agreement expired is an extension of that long term policy. It is neither a change in direction, nor should it be considered, an affront to our Canadian members. The UBC objective, regarding lumber and wood products trade is to achieve a long-term, mutually acceptable solution through trade negotiations.
