Ontario rejects duty proposal

Article Abstract:

The United States, which has offered to end its 32% duty on Canadian softwood lumber products, was rebuffed by the Canadian government. Canada, which is under pressure to launch legal action to gain unrestricted access to the $30 billion softwood lumber market in the U.S., will keep its price structure in place during negotiations.
