<\/span>Canada may consider imposing limits on softwood lumber exports to the United States in a bid to de-escalate a long-running trade dispute, British Columbia Premier David Eby said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg News<\/em>, Eby said discussions are underway about a potential quota system, which could form the basis for a broader agreement on softwood lumber \u2014 a recurring source of tension between the two countries.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOne of the asks for years out of the American coalition has been a quota \u2014 that there\u2019s a fixed amount of lumber that gets to come from Canada,\u201d Eby said. \u201cAnd I think that, for the first time, there\u2019s some willingness to have a conversation about what that could look like.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Eby, whose province is Canada\u2019s largest exporter of softwood lumber and home to major producers such as Canfor Corp.<\/strong> and West Fraser Timber Co.<\/strong>, said the goal of a quota deal would be to stabilize U.S. access to affordable building materials and secure long-term employment for Canadian workers.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s provincial ministers have reportedly been in talks with Prime Minister Mark Carney\u2019s<\/strong> administration to explore proposals \u201cthat historically have been off the table,\u201d Eby said.<\/p>\n

British Columbia and Quebec together accounted for 64% of Canada\u2019s total softwood lumber exports in 2024, according to Statistics Canada<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The proposal comes as the softwood lumber dispute enters a new phase. U.S. President Donald Trump<\/strong> has renewed threats to impose higher tariffs on Canadian goods, sending a letter to Carney last week warning of duties of up to 35% on some products. Trump has also ordered the U.S. Commerce Department to assess whether imports of foreign lumber pose a national security risk \u2014 a move that could pave the way for further trade barriers.<\/p>\n

The U.S. currently imposes a combined duty of 34% on most Canadian softwood lumber shipments. The duties follow longstanding U.S. claims that Canadian producers receive unfair subsidies through government-set stumpage fees on timber harvested from public lands \u2014 a claim Ottawa rejects.<\/p>\n

In addition to trade friction, Canadian lumber producers are facing higher input costs, reduced harvest volumes due to wildfires, and the continued impact of a mountain pine beetle<\/strong> infestation that has devastated forests in western Canada.<\/p>\n

While Canadian officials have expressed openness to dialogue, it is unclear how receptive Washington is to a negotiated solution. Despite Canada\u2019s recent concessions \u2014 including an increase in defence spending and the scrapping of a proposed digital services tax \u2014 Trump has maintained a hardline stance on trade.<\/p>\n

U.S. homebuilders, however, have warned that rising tariffs could push up construction costs. According to the National Association of Home Builders<\/strong>, Canada supplies nearly a quarter of the U.S. softwood lumber market, and Trump\u2019s trade policies could increase the price of a newly built home by as much as $11,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe have tariffs going on because we want tariffs, and we want the money coming into the United States,\u201d Trump told reporters on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A spokesperson for Dominic LeBlanc<\/strong>, Canada\u2019s minister responsible for U.S. trade relations, declined to comment on Eby\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

Eby said Prime Minister Carney is expected to visit British Columbia soon to discuss the issue further.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
