SOFTWOOD LUMBER DEAL BAD FOR CANADA CEP Media Release
Canada’s largest forestry workers Union wants to delay ratification of any softwood lumber deal with the U.S. until all stakeholders, including workers, have a chance to see and study all of the details.
“ From what we have seen so far, the proposed deal is bad for Canada because it could lead to direct American control of Canadian forestry policies and would pit one province against another,” said Brian Payne, president of the 150,000 member Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada.
“ Canadians must retain sovereignty over our biggest single natural resource,” Mr. Payne said. “ This deal will cede control of our forests to the American Department of Commerce and the U.S. lumber industry. We want a settlement of this dispute but one that will respect how we as Canadians decide to develop our forests and our communities.”------------------------------------------- posted 1:23 PM :: reference link ::
