    Softwood lumber talks on hold during U.S. elections, focus back on trade case By STEVE MERTL, CBC News
    'I don't think the U.S. election has much to do (with it),' said Carl Grenier, managing director of the Montreal-based Free Trade Lumber Council. 'This issue is not on the radar screens in the U.S., never been.'

    But he said no administration is prepared to buck the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports, the U.S. producer lobby behind more than 20 years of trade complaints.

    'There will not be a settlement against the coalition's wishes,' said Grenier.

    'This is a career-limited prospect for anyone to actually go against the wishes of a strong and well-organized interest group such as the coalition.'
