WASHINGTON, DC — A number of organizations and individuals in Canada who have a long history of strongly advocating for Canadian industry have made statements about the increased dumping rate. These statements continue to ignore the fact that the dumping rate went up because Canada intensified its unfair trading behavior – simple as that. These Canadian statements demonstrate a complete misunderstanding of the US trade laws, while continuing to regurgitate misinformation along with Canada First allies in the US such as the National Association of Homebuilders. …Canada ignores the fact that it engages in unfair trade and that antidumping and countervailing duty deposit rates are simply a reflection of Canadian unfair trade behavior. …Canadian officials, such as BC Forest Minister Ravi Parmar, have a fundamental misunderstanding of the US trade laws, and instead focus on political rhetoric and advancing misinformation. Messrs. Russ Taylor and David Elstone published an opinion piece highlighting their inability to consider all facts as they strongly advocate for the interests of the BC lumber industry.
