Lumber exports to U.S. fell after cutting fees slashed, Ottawa says

Article Abstract:

Canada said softwood lumber exports to the US have significantly declined since June 1998 when British Columbia cut its timber cutting fees. The Canadian government cited the statistic to dispute US claims that BC's move is in violation of the 1996 softwood lumber agreement between the two countries. The federal government also argued that the lumber pact was never meant to prevent the provinces from altering changes in the fees they charge sawmills.
