Winner not clear in lumber decision In the ongoing U.S.-Canada softwood lumber dispute, one of the few certainties is that a World Trade Organization panel did make an interim ruling last Tuesday.
Who won and who lost is a matter of interpretation, since a final decision won't be made until July and later released to the public in August.
"It's kind of being viewed as a split decision," said Jeff Redd, associate editor of Random Lengths, a lumber industry publication that has followed the two-decade-old brouhaha in recent years.
