My question deals with the export charge and the refund of countervailing duties.
I read section 10 which states when export charges will start to apply. It reads:
10(1) Every person who exports a softwood lumber product to the United States after September 30, 2006, shall pay to Her Majesty in right of Canada a charge as determined under this act in respect to the export.
Should we amend that section? There has been a delay. I would like some more explanations. If I am not mistaken, if that section is implemented, companies will have to pay export charges before they get their refund. I would like some clarification about this.
