Softwood Deal Draws More Opposition

Communities reliant on the forest industry are already feeling the
affects of the softwood lumber agreement signed earlier this fall with the
United States.
The Federal NDP Trade Critic, Peter Julian has been touring Northwestern
Ontario this week on a fact-finding mission.
He says the deal has killed some 4,000 jobs across Canada.
Julian says instead of leaving a billion dollars of tarrifs in U.S.
hands, the Feds should have invested the money into communities hit hard by
the softwood lumber dispute.
