:: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 ::
The root of the lumber spat? Why is lumber such an endless source of costly, unneighbourly and, let's face it, really tedious trade disputes? One reason: U.S. timberland values.
The past 21 years have seen four distinct rounds of U.S. trade action against Canadian lumber, tirelessly promoted by a Washington lobby called the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports, which says Canadian sawmills buy their wood too cheaply in a country where most forest land is publicly owned. In the United States, more than two-thirds is private.------------------------------------------- posted 10:23 AM :: reference link ::
