Forestry ministers present new conditions to U.S. on softwood lumber By SANDRA CORDON, CBC News
Canada has challenged Washington's duties at both the World Trade Organization and under NAFTA.
But it's time to negotiate a lasting peace, said Carl Grenier of the Montreal-based Free Trade Lumber Council, which represents producers across the country.
'The hope is that we will not simply do as we've done before - negotiate a solution to this particular episode of the long dispute - but (instead) try and put it behind us permanently.
'If it's just a quick and dirty deal, it's less interesting and may be a very expensive thing to do.'
Ministers also backed away from a U.S. proposal that set quotas for Canadian imports as a possible interim measure towards full free trade.
'Quotas are dead,' said de Jong.------------------------------------------- posted 6:32 AM :: reference link ::
