Forest Products Association of Canada is deeply disappointed that new 50 per cent U.S. tariffs now affect a broad range of Canadian forest products following the collapse of the Canada-U.S Trade negotiations. “We appreciate the sustained efforts of Prime Minister Carney, Minister LeBlanc, lead negotiator Janice Charette, and Canada’s negotiating team. Canada was right not to accept terms that failed to provide a fair and reliable path forward. Unfortunately, with the introduction of new Section 338 tariffs, in addition to existing softwood lumber duties and Section 232 tariffs, Canada’s forest sector is among the hardest-hit in the country. We must move swiftly to protect Canadian forest sector employees, businesses, and communities,” said Derek Nighbor, President and CEO of the Forest Products Association of Canada. Canadian forest products are essential to integrated North American housing, construction, manufacturing and consumer-product supply chains. These tariffs will disrupt those supply chains and raise costs on both sides of the border.
