Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Katrine Conroy and B.C. Minister of State for Trade George Chow released a statement in response:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cB.C. is frustrated and very concerned about the continued effect these unjustified punitive duties are having on our forest sector and on the families in communities throughout B.C. whose livelihoods depend on it.<\/p>\n<p>The statement also pointed out that not only would higher duties hurt B.C. and Canadian businesses, they will also hurt American home buyers. The statement also stressed the importancem of keeping supply lines open as we move into a post-coronavirus economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need open and stable supply chains for both countries to prosper during recovery, not trade barriers,\u201d reads the statement.<\/p>\n<p>According to CBC Canada, in a note to investors, RBC analyst Paul Quinn said finalized rates from the previous administrative review process wound up being largely in line with the preliminary rates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think higher rates will incentivize producers to push harder for a resolution to the softwood lumber dispute, which could unlock significant cash,\u201d he said, noting an estimate that collected tariffs from Canadian producers on deposit add up to more than $4 billion.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of Commerce issued its preliminary determination in the second administrative review of Canadian softwood lumber imports, and if finalized, would result in tariffs being doubled, from 8.99 percent to 18.32 percent.
