Summary

Urges the President, the United States Trade Representative, and the Secretary of Commerce to: (1) make the resolution of the problems associated with the importation of unfairly traded Canadian lumber a top U.S. trade priority; (2) make every effort to end the subsidization of the Canadian lumber industry, and the overproduction of lumber imposed on the Canadian lumber industry by the Provincial governments of Canada; (3) vigorously enforce U.S. trade laws with regard to the importation of unfairly traded lumber; and (4) take actions to limit the injuries caused to U.S. timber and lumber industries by the importation of unfairly traded lumber, including imposing duties in the United States to offset the extent to which such lumber is subsidized and imported at less than its fair value.
