Let me take the two points in order.
With respect to the loss of employment in the industry in British Columbia, I would argue that it's due to the loss of the American market and the recession, the housing crisis. I'm afraid that market will not recover quickly, and that it will in fact trail the rest of the recovery in the U.S. because of the huge surplus supply of houses on the market. I would suggest that it is not a result of the implementation of the softwood lumber agreement.
In fact, the industry tells me, as the manager responsible for the agreement, that their priority is that I should defend and maintain the agreement, because it's the only thing that gives them any stability in a really awful market.
