Timber firms split on ending tariffs By JAMES GUNSALUS
'Neither side got what we wanted, but both sides got what they needed,' said John Ragosta, a lawyer representing the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports, a U.S. industry group.
Frank Dottori, Tembec chief executive officer, called the proposal 'an absolute giveaway' and said he may sue over the limited access provision. Domtar said the deal provides 'no clear path to free trade,' and Canadian analysts questioned whether the U.S. would indeed lift restrictions in three years.
