- Canada–United_States_softwood_lumber_dispute abstract "The Canada–United States softwood lumber dispute is one of the most significant and enduring trade disputes in modern history. British Columbia, the major Canadian exporter of softwood lumber to the United States, was most affected, with recorded losses of 9,494 direct and indirect jobs between 2004 and 2009.The heart of the dispute is the claim that the Canadian lumber industry is unfairly subsidized by federal and provincial governments as most timber in Canada is owned by provincial governments. The prices charged to harvest the timber (the "stumpage fee") are set administratively, rather than through a competitive auction, which is the norm in the United States. The United States claims that this constitutes an unfair subsidy, and is thus subject to U.S. trade remedy laws where foreign goods benefiting from subsidies can be subject to a countervailing duty tariff to offset the subsidy and bring the price of the product back up to market rates.The Canadian government and lumber industry dispute the assertion that Canadian timber is subsidized on a variety of bases, including that Canadian timber is provided to so many industries that it cannot be considered sufficiently specific to be a subsidy under U.S. law. Under U.S. trade remedy law, a countervailable subsidy must be specific to a particular industry. This requirement precludes imposition of countervailing duties on government programs, such as roads, that are meant to benefit a broad array of interests.Since 1982, there have been four major iterations of the dispute.".
