The appeal process shouldn't be a tactical tool.
I find that when it comes to softwood lumber it's simply a tactical tool. As soon as the agreement ends, it is immediately imposed. You go through years and years of a waiting period until an agreement is reached again, and then the cycle continues. It should not be used as a method to just frustrate the system, but unfortunately, in this case, it is.
What are we doing to ensure that this is not used as a means where invalid...? Some disputes have some validity on both sides, and it's getting to the nuances or how they interpret them. In some, such as this, I find that it's simply used as a tool to punitively damage our industry.
