Summary

Urges the President, the U.S. Trade Representative, and the Secretary of Commerce to: (1) make the problem of subsidized Canadian lumber imports a top trade priority to be addressed immediately; (2) take every possible action to end Canadian lumber subsidy practices through open and competitive sales of timber and logs in Canada for fair market value; and (3) if Canada does not agree to end such subsidies, provide that they be offset in the United States, enforce the trade laws with respect to subsidized and dumped imports, explore all options to stop unfairly traded imports, and limit injury to the U.S. lumber industry.
