With its broad system of government subsidies and associated unfair trade practices, Canada is continuously displacing US production and US jobs through its sale of subsidized, below market value softwood lumber. Canada’s unfair trade practices cause US sawmills to lose sales and revenue, leading to mill curtailments and job cuts in communities across America. “Canada’s built-for-export excess softwood lumber production capacity is huge and unsustainable, at around 8 billion board feet,” stated Andrew Miller, Chairman. “And Canada’s focus on maintaining its US market share at any cost is hugely detrimental the profitability and growth of the US softwood lumber industry.” “Demand for housing remains weak and so does demand for lumber. Yet Canada continues its relentless shipments of dumped and subsidized lumber,” added Miller. … Zoltan van Heyningen said …”We reject the efforts of the National Association of Homebuilders to fight against President Trump’s goal of U.S. softwood lumber self-reliance.”
