Opinion: In crisis, is there opportunity for B.C. softwood lumber?

U.S. administrations have been on a campaign to shut down access to the US market for Canada ’s softwood lumber for 40 years .

Canada has been unable to secure a fair-trading framework that would protect our lumber exports from egregious US anti-dumping and countervailing duties.

The combined impact of these new measures could be devastating for 100,000 direct and indirect jobs in the B.C. industry.

Stuart Culbertson : Both governments want to see more homes built in Canada at lower, more affordable prices.

Framing lumber constitutes roughly 15 per cent or more of the cost of building new housing, he says. Isolating that cost and reducing it could help make new homes more affordable, he writes.

He says B.C. lumber displaced from U.S. market can be redirected at home to drive down cost of new homes.
