British Columbia's Forests Minister plans to contest US tariffs on softwood lumber, following Canfor Corp.'s closure of two sawmills affecting 500 workers.
British Columbia's Forests Minister, Bruce Ralston, announced plans to contest "unfair duties" following Canfor Corp.'s closure of two sawmills in northern B.C., which affects about 500 workers. The closures are attributed to increased U.S. tariffs on softwood lumber, alongside low lumber prices and financial losses. Ralston emphasized the importance of the forest sector to the province and committed to supporting local jobs and increasing access to timber.
