U.S. kindles softwood scrap By LYNN MOORE, Montreal Gazette
An adequate show of goodwill would be the return to Canada of about $4.1 billion in duties, said Paul Krabbe, business development manager for Tembec Inc.
The entrenched U.S. position is 'truly an attack on rural Canada' where most of the forest-sector jobs are located, Krabbe said.
The 'U.S. coalition remains comfortable in making unreasonable demands on Canada' because it has the support of its government and together the two entities 'use legal ways to manipulate the duties and ignore what (NAFTA and WTO) have said in order to keep the duties extraordinary high,' Krabbe said.
It would be in North America's best interest to use the resources wasted on the softwood dispute to grow the industry for all, he added.------------------------------------------- posted 11:47 AM :: reference link ::
