British Columbia announced that the province is ready to fight for its lumber producers in the trade war on softwood lumber with the US.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yet, BC's officials said that they weren't prepared to take part in a\u00a0costly and lengthy legal battle with the US.<\/p>\n

\"We're not negotiating, but we're certainly setting the table, and I conveyed to the people I met with that British Columbia, as much of the rest of Canada, is not anxious to take a long, costly damaging (litigation) process,\" said\u00a0David Emerson.<\/p>\n

As reported by CBC News, the coalition representing lumber producers filed a petition last November asking the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission to limit Canadian lumber shipments.\u00a0The group claimed Canada unfairly subsidizes its lumber industry, harming American workers who are experiencing mounting unemployment.<\/p>\n

Emerson added that the US is still in the process of transition to the administration of President Donald Trump and is now ready yet to begin the trade talks on softwood lumber. Emerson also held meetings this week in Ottawa with Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and Quebec's representative to the U.S., Raymond Chretien.<\/p>\n

The 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement between Canada and the United States expired on Oct. 12, 2015. Almost 40% of the rural communities in British Columbia depend on\u00a0forestry and the industry provides more than 60,000 direct jobs in the province.<\/p>\n

The value of lumber exports from B.C. to the U.S. last year was $4.6 billion. B.C. is Canada's largest producer of softwood lumber, accounting for about half of national production.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
