Mr. Chair, this is the crux of the decision companies must make. I hope I'm clear. The $1 billion we leave behind today and the termination of litigation of Lumber IV is a decision to be compared with continuing litigation, getting your $1 billion back, and facing even higher and more punitive duties going forward into the future. And as much as nobody in this room can predict the future accurately and with any assurance, I am convinced that with strong U.S. government and coalition support, Lumber V is something we want no part of.
