Thank you for the question.
I was in the chair that Michael occupies when the last agreement was coming to an end in 2016. I can tell you, because I was involved in those discussions, that we tried very hard to renew and to extend that agreement, and when the agreement could not be extended, to renew it, and when that could not be done, to put in place a new agreement that would result in a continued managed trade situation with the United States with no gap and no reimposition of U.S. trade remedy duties.
We engaged with officials of the Obama administration, and then, following the entry into the White House of the Trump administration, we engaged with Trump administration officials. Under both governments in the United States, there was no appetite to extend, renew or negotiate a new softwood lumber agreement in 2016 or 2017, and that has continued to be the case until today.
