NAFTA needs fixing: Martin By PATRICK BRETHOUR, Globe and Mail
The dispute over softwood lumber has dragged on, with one softwood executive recently speculating that even if Canada won, its U.S. opponents would simply launch another complaint. Mr. Martin took direct aim at that approach yesterday. “We've got to find a way in which disputes cannot only be settled, but settled permanently.”
Ironically, a 1980s U.S.-Canada spat over softwood lumber gave impetus to the creation of the free-trade agreement between the two countries near the end of the decade, an accord that was the predecessor of NAFTA.------------------------------------------- posted 6:45 AM :: reference link ::
