    Lumber talks please officials By MARTIN O'HANLON AND DAN DUGAS, CP, London Free Press, Canada
    Given that the 1996 Canada-U.S. softwood pact took six months to translate into legal paperwork, a new deal appears far off.

    The union representing lumber workers was not impressed.

    'Canadian negotiators have . . . blinders shielding them from reality,' said Cec Makowski of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada.

    He said Canadian negotiators are linking a proposed export tax on softwood to an American proposal to eliminate public ownership of Canadian forests.
