If I correctly understood your questions, they concern the collection and application of charges to various regions. This part of the bill amends softwood lumber products export charges pursuant to arbitration under the Softwood Lumber Agreement. The amendment of export rights also applies to the four regions subject to Option B under the agreement. During the arbitration process, we asked the tribunal some questions about the weighting of charges. The tribunal ruled that charges must be applied to all regions subject to Option B until a total of $68 million is collected. It was therefore impossible to weight the application of rights following the tribunal's decision.
