It is clearly time for the U.S. to honor its treaty agreement with Canada, and to end these illegal duties that continue to harm American consumers. |
Our government should live up to the commitments we made in NAFTA rather than ignore it. |
This decision clearly supports the spoken objective of this administration to end the Byrd Amendment and comply with the WTO. |
We cannot understand why Canada would trade its winning position that should end the duties under NAFTA for a deal that imposes border measures. If press reports on the leaked proposed deal are correct, it also involves manipulating the market through government-set prices for lumber, and the fluctuating value of Canadian currency. |
When the U.S. wins, the coalition cheers, but when it loses, they whine and attack the dispute settlement process imposed by NAFTA. |
