'Disappointing' that U.S. pressing ahead with duties on Canadian softwood lumber: Ng

International trade minister Mary Ng says the anti-dumping and countervailing duties the U.S. imposes on Canadian softwood lumber are little more than a tax on American consumers.

WASHINGTON — Canada's international trade minister says the United States appears to be pressing ahead with what she calls "unjustified" duties on softwood lumber imports.

The latest combined duty rates — which are preliminary and won't take effect until after a final review expected this summer — range between 7.29 and 9.38 per cent. "With these preliminary results, the U.S. Department of Commerce has indicated its intention to maintain its unjustified duties on imports of Canadian softwood lumber," Ng said in a statement Tuesday.
