In the SLA we had quarterly quotas, and you knew ahead of time what they would be. This one, as I understand it, will have monthly quotas, and you won't know until afterwards. That can't do anything, I would assume, but increase volatility in the market price. Everybody here has seen the graphs of the volatility, and it's very significant.
Here is what happens if you're a consumer in the States, a builder, and you face volatility. Often I have to sell a house nine months ahead of the time I need the framing material, so it makes me more interested in alternative materials such as steel or concrete block, or it makes me more interested in wood from other markets. I would prefer to stay in North America.
The third thing that puzzles me is that in the States, even in Florida, we're losing remanufacturing jobs to what we thought were Canada and China. Maybe we're only losing them to China. I know that in DC, Canadian trust companies are competitive in the DC market from Canada, and there are other things. There are stories I hear on my side on this, and parts of this are confusing and not clear, but I think that the shorter term, and knowing it retroactively, will increase the volatility, and that can't do anything for a stable market.
