WASHINGTON — Since 2016, Canada’s excess lumber capacity has surged…[and] the Canadian industry is directing its excess lumber capacity and production to the US market. The impact on US lumber producers, workers, and forestry dependent communities has been devastating. “BC Premier Eby’s claim that US trade law enforcement is an attack on Canadian workers is entirely backwards,” stated Zoltan van Heyningen. “Canadian violations of US trade laws are an attack on US workers, US companies, and President Trump’s goals to further increase US lumber production.”,”Canada and their US allies, the NAHB, are engaged in a massive misinformation campaign trying to scare the American public into accepting Canada’s unfair trade practices,” added van Heyningen. “Let’s face it, Canada does not care about the U.S. consumer. …Canadian companies pay the duties imposed at the border on softwood lumber imports, not the US consumer or U.S. taxpayer”.
