Setback in Softwood Lumber Dispute

Canada will have to pay up for breaching the softwood lumber
trade pact with the United States.
An international tribunal has rejected Canada’s offer to pay a
reduced fine for shipping too much wood south of the border.
Canada will have to pay the original $68-million as
ordered by an international panel last February.
International Trade Minister Stockwell Day is disappointed but
says Canada will comply as there’s no further route for appeal.
